Update us on how long it holds!
Hope it doesn’t poke through…you’ll be screwed 🙁
Ah yes, my favourite shoe, the tetanus flip flop 9000
now show us the other side.
Tap Flops
Calling this a „fix“ is a bit wild. With strain of movement there is a good chance the tip will point out eventually and you‘ll just rough up your foot
Theres no way this last more than 30,000 steps or so. And thats being way generous.
Like cool you got it done. I guarantee it still isnt good.
Run it the other way for winter edition flops
Now they’re tap-flops.
You’re a thong god Harry.
The Australian way to fix our thongs is to use a plastic bread bag clip.
A screw pointing straight up at your foot… what could go wrong?

You just need one of those little plastic end of bread bag thingys, does the trick perfectly!
“Strap” might work as a term?
Let me guess: You’re an Aussie and had this idea in Bunnings?

Did you step on a pop top? Because that’s how you blow out a flip flop.
Ah the mighty plug replacement surgery on your thongs!
Nice. The way we used to fix them was with a paper clip. Just feed a big paper clip around the shaft above the knob and feed it around to the small part. So it’s like central on the shaft. It’ll keep it from pulling through, and unless you look at the bottom you can’t tell
The poor sucker that accidentally steps on those flip flops left on the floor in your house.
This grants you automatic Australian citizenship.

We used to fix embwith bread clips.
You could’ve used a bread clip. Fixes it like a charm.
Brazilians are doing this for decades… With nails, though.
The guys at r/Gambiarra would be proud.
