Slappa’s Thongs are made of a foam called EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate), the same material used in mouthguards. They're crafted using a Closed Cell Foam Injection process, forming a seamless, durable thong that moulds to your foot.

Yes! Slappa’s is proudly owned and operated in Australia, founded in Darwin in 2010. It's a family-run business that started at the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets.

Slappa’s are manufactured in China due to Australia's lack of facilities for closed cell foam injection. We maintain high production and ethical standards by visiting our factories regularly.

The name “Slappa’s Thongs” was suggested during a family brainstorming session and stuck because it was fun, memorable, and loved by all.

Yes! Slappa’s are suitable for all ages—from kids to seniors. They offer a snug fit, foot moulding, and reduce tripping risk, making them safer than regular thongs.
