My flip flops strap has loosened / stretched. Is there a way it can be tightened?Updated 9 days ago

While the straps of Archies Flip Flops are tighter than normal flip flops, unfortunately, over time, the strap will eventually stretch and lose some of its original tightness, the same way clothing will stretch over time if you wear it a lot. Once stretched, the strap will not return to its original tightness.

However, if your strap has stretched, there are a couple of tricks that you can try that can re-tighten the strap:

1. Place the pair on a flat surface - make sure there is nothing flammable in the vicinity.

2. Position the hair dryer 3cm away from the straps. 

3. Turn on the hair dryer and heat up the straps for 45 seconds. You can move it slowly across the straps so that it tightens evenly. Make sure that it's not too close to the straps so that it doesn't cause them to wilt or wither. 

In summary, any concentrated heat source applied to the strap area only will shrink the strap down and re-tighten it. Just allow the flip-flops to fully cool before trying them on again.
