When you click the OP link, it says it for you:
$6
was $12
Only size 11/12 for men is available i believe
and 9/10
The sizing is a bit strange anyway compared to what's written on the thong (and none in my size).
It might depend on your set store even though its for online stock, as my store is broadway in sydney and only showing the 11/12 as available.
Nope. Also OOS.
Cheers OP :)
How long do your thongs keep up until they pop out? I stopped buying these and started to buy Archies instead.
Same. These never last me more than a year before tgey start popping out. The Archies ones lasted me 3 years with no issues and then my mom laid claim to it and now she has been using it for 2 years with no issues
I’ve used them for years. The original ones lasted years. The last few I’ve had only last maybe 3-6 months with light use before a blowout.
I’ve finally given up on them
my $1 kmart ones have lasted years
+1 Archies gang. I much prefer the look of Havis but either the quality has taken a dive or I've got clumsier - I get a year max out of a pair now, usually 6mo. Vs my Archies (single piece) are 4x the price, but will probably last for 5y (currently 3 and going strong). Never going back.
Same. Havianas used to be decent quality, rubbish now. Archies are great.
Havianas used to be decent quality
I knew them to be made in Brazil only, unless they've shifted the manufacturing elsewhere?
Although I rarely wear them, the pair I got from Brazil are still going good.
- 2 Archie's
Anything better than Archie's?
Anything better than Archie's?
Running shoes. I've got a pair of Birkenstock that are pretty popular, not much cushioning but strengthen the feet.
I haven't tried Archie's (though I'm keen to), but I know the Aerial slippers/thongs are really comfortable and long-lasting.
They used to only be sold in petrol stations, but maybe they are out of production now, and replaced by the Nobbie brand:

ive had my archies for 5+ years now. need replacement only due to worn out bottom sole which can get slippery when worn in the rain.
Also the arch support is great.
Got mine in France, 2013, just before leaving to Alanya, turkey , for my first holidays. And I still have them in Australia. Maybe the quality is cheaper now ?
Thanks for putting me onto these. I busted a plugger last summer and have just been managing with slides so far
started to buy Archies instead.
Have you tried the Aerial or the Nobbie brand ?
They have good cushioning support and long-lasting.
The Aerial brand is almost impossible to find now too
(as I used to see them sold only in petrol stations).I just had a pair of Havanas break today that I got for Christmas in 2012… they were starting to get thin in the ball of the foot but were still going strong, finally had one of the straps snap. If a pair from this deal last even half as long I’ll be happy.
Used to be a Havis guy until the missus gave me some Archies and now I live in them. Sure they cost $40 but they are worth it since they last 4x longer. Everyone I showed them to ends up with a pair and raves about them, I'm surprised Havis are still in business.
Thanks OP.
Got 5 pairs for the whole family yeewww
Thanks OP
As a Brazilian, I can say… I really hate Havaianas thongs!
I get mad chafing between my big toe and second toe. Always welts up like crazy.
Allergy to sonething in the rubber?
Don't think so. Think it's just the friction.
I usually put a few drops of superglue into the strap hole to provide a bit more structure / strength, and hopefully lessen the risk of plug blow out
I use a hot glue gun into the strap hole when it starts giving way. Makes them last a good bit longer.
As an aside, many moons ago while travelling India, I saw thong soles being cut out of old tyre treads. I guess if I had bought a pair they would still be going strong.
Anyone tried Reject Shop $2.5 thongs?
I have. Just as good. And as a Brazilian, I've worn Havaianas since as soon as I started walking.
For a long time Havaianas were sold as cheap footwear for Brazil's underclass (as the top buyer of African slaves, it's still a very unequal society). Some time in the 90s, they hired a Chief Marketing Officer, who decided to make it into a semi-luxury item. And she did! But it's just branding; the product is the same as before: a slab of rubber, with a rubber strip across. That anyone would pay $12 — or even $6 for that! — is beyond me. It's a marketing coup!
Quality has definitely dropped off, they used to be $20-30. I agree they (and all rubber thongs) are still very subpar footwear but have their place.
That wasn't my point. The product is the product, the question is whether or not it's a bargain at anything more than a couple of bucks (that should go without saying in a bargain forum).
@wisdomtooth: I get it pal, most brand names with a decent following have a big mark up.
It's just what people are willing to pay but this brand was pretty popular with Aussies and probably still a go to for a lot of people. The 'cheap' ones just aren't the same and more basic vs surf shops etc.
The soles are really really soft on Kmart ones. You wouldn't want to step on pebble or Lego with them.
Yeah it’s so spongy. They’re okay I guess but the rubber havaianas are much better.
Those are what i usually buy. They usually last about 18 months - 2 years.
Not of a fan of Havaianas, gone through quite a few in the past
Been using Archie's which are ergonomic and heaps more comfortable and cushy
Does anyone have any recommends of other comfy thongs?

When you've found what you're looking for you can stop looking. Archies are the best.
Noticed my physio sells them for years now.
May try and get a pair on private health.
I checked them out when they were $12, pretty poorly made compared to normal Havaianas I got from Catch previously. At $7 though I’ll get a couple.
Men $6, women and kids $7.
Let me see that thoooo-oooong
slides > thongs
Nah I don’t like the thing over the top of the foot as much as the thong.
You used to the thing between your fingers ;)
A had a pair of havianas that are nearly 15yrs old. They just disapeard out of my hotel room after the cleaner went through. I'm very sad!
I find these not as good quality as the ones you can buy from surf shops despite being the same brand and a fraction of the cost.
Yes they are like knock-offs or seconds I reckon.
I've still got plenty of pairs of the good ones, last a long time (but get a bit hard).,Absolutely, even the straps don't feel as good. I still got a pair a while back to try but gave found out the sole wears out a lot quicker too.
Fabric straps are much better for comfort and durability in my experience
Just received an order cancellation email. That sucks
good feeling saving 100%
Haha, yeah, that's a good way to look at it
Just received a cancellation as well
No cigar
What is the usual price?
