These thongs are the only thongs I could find for my son who has lymphedema in one foot. Being able to change the straps to go wider is a great idea. Good quality, easy to change. I highly recommend this product. I got size 14 and 15. Very hard to find anywhere else. Definitely value for money. Show details ·  1

The Absolute best Thongs We have ever Had, so comfortable and the best thing is Goats Heads don't penetrate. Been buying them for about 4 years since a mate put me onto them. In all those years i have only had one blowout and that was because the thongs were so worn out. You should buy at least 2 pairs Show details ·  1

Regular rubber thongs usually give me blisters and just tear up my feet, but boomerangz was comfortable from the start. No discomfort, no blisters and just an overall sturdy thong. The arch support helps alot with comfort! I love the wide variety of colours and styles, so I can literally match my thongs to my outfits now! The replaceable straps are genius! Love mine, will be ordering more for the whole family, highly recommend Show details ·  1

I’ve had my boomerangs for around 3 years, (with one blowout). I walk my dogs nearly every afternoon for around 3km, wearing my thongs. They are every bit as comfortable as walking shoes. I have a pair of boomerangs at every door of the house (3 in total)I bought 2 pairs last time with my replacement straps and gave one pair to my step son. Until… Read more ·  1

then he was like me, only buying Woolworths or Kmart thongs. We couldn’t see the value in an expensive pair of thongs I tried once! Now, like me he is converted and one eyed towards boomerangs. He is NOT easily convinced to change habits or ideas.(he still misses his old Nokia mobile) Thanks for a great product

Good colour and fit reasonably well as I tried them on at the Menswear store, had an issue with the wrong thong spare strap and they fixed me up real well. edit: I have had these for a while now, there’s a reason why they come with another pair of straps because they break at the tow within 2-3months, at least they offer free straps provided you pay for shipping, adjusted rating I would say is 4-3.5 stars. Show details ·  1

ordering and our purchase arrived within days. We're very, very happy with the quality and service overall. Thank you Boomerangz!

 Follow-up  · Initially the fit was too small, so we contacted Boomerangz who replied very quickly, advising us how to make sure we ordered the correct size. We did have to pay return postage, but I guess that's the risk you take for ordering online. The new size arrived very promptly and fit well.

non-slip thong I have ever owned. Would 100% recommend to anyone for all aspects of the product, including service. Love the interchangeable straps too!!

 Follow-up  · One month after my purchase and I am still in love!! The purple ones in the pic are my daily wear ones and they are amazing!! Zero stretch in the straps, as comfortable at the end of the day as the beginning of the day with zero st^pid sideways flexing movement like so many thongs do on a miss-step, as a clumsy person this means the world!! So easy to keep clean too. Can't wait to add more to my wardrobe!!!!

I just received my second and third pair of Boomerangz thongs a couple of days ago, and I had to check whether I still loved them as much as my very first pair. Spoiler alert: I absolutely do. You probably don’t realise the level of anger, embarrassment, and pure mum-chaos that happens during school pickup when a pair of Big W thongs suddenly… Read more ·  1

decides to fall apart. As a working mum, I simply do NOT have time for footwear-related dramas!

Here’s why I’m officially a Boomerangz loyalist now:

1. I snagged them at half price during the Black Friday sale (a win for me and my wallet).

2. The packaging is adorable — cute, funny, and clearly made by people who enjoy what they do.

3. I love supporting a brand that genuinely cares about the planet (and everything living on it).

4. The arch support is amazing. I’ve attached photos so you can admire it too.

5. I never realised that the dyes/materials in regular thongs could cause irritation for people with super-sensitive skin — but clearly, Boomerangz has cracked the code.

6. I’ve worn them at the pool daily for 3–4 hours, and they handle chlorine like absolute champions.

Just wanted to send a little appreciation your way!

Thanks again for making life easier — especially at school pickup.

Warm regards, Harleen

I live on an island in the British Channel, Jersey is a crown dependency, not in Europe and not part of the UK, so when we order products off the internet we have trouble having them posted as some businesses will not post. Boomerangz thongs, found this website on the internet and was really impressed with their product and new design for flip… Read more ·  1

flops. So duly investigated and decided to buy a pair, remember these guys are Australia based, a long way from home. So order in, no issues until an email arrived from Brad Munro ( Chief Flip Flop Officer) I love this it’s brilliant. So the email states that as many times before businesses are unable to post to my tiny island of Jersey, so politely I explained all the hassle we have regarding postage even from businesses in the UK only 154 miles away. Now any other company like they do on a regular basis is apologise and refund the cost , I do have another 3rd party address which I have to use in situations like this to have them sent through the UK. Now this is where customer support comes in, Brad the CFFO, said to me hang on I will go down to the local post office and see what is going on. This morning I received an email from Brad with details of postage directly to my home address in Jersey, now this act of kindness is so overwhelming that he would go above and beyond to make sure 1 customer who lives 10,231 miles away gets his boomerangz flip flops. Once I have received them I will do a photo shoot around the island with my boomerangz flip flops on. Absolutely brilliant customer service and have to say personal service from the CFFO Brad Munro, thanks pal.

Epic Boomerz – So this review is about 2 years in the making and I've had my Rangerz that long! Comfy AF and a lot like Maseurs for those nostalgic mo-fos of the 80's who can remember how AMAZING they were when broken in.

saddle of the last pair of pluggers you will ever buy!!!

Fast forward 2 years and I'm travelling Europe with my fambam and needless to say these plugs have been rinsed! Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Greece, these things just kept on giving... until they couldn't anymore...

I had a blowout in Greece. Needless to say this was a mortifying day as the replacement pluggers I ended up getting were anything but acceptable (I actually blew through the first pair in 2 days, they were that [Content Removed]!) I tried going back to some "Brazilians" but they were sub par to say the least.

Anywho, I digress, upon returning home I saw that you could claim a free pair of replacement straps. So I enquired about said perk and Brad, the certified LEDGEHAMMER and CFFO responded to my query mid Big Bash match... there was no reason to do this other than he genuinely have a sh*t about his customers and is a certified LEDGEHAMMER.

In his replies, yup plural, he walked me through what was what and how to claim my new straps. I balked at this and bought some new Rangerz instead of claiming the freebies and being the top tier mad bloke he is, he tossed in the free straps on top of the order I made which comes with extra straps as well!

So why should you buy these? These plugs are no joke. They're comfy AF. The CFFO is a certified Ledghammer who actually gives a [Content Removed] about his customers and they're Strayan designed, owned and run.

Stop sitting on the fence and ditch your Brazilian's and start stepping out in your Strayans!

My straps broke on my Boomerangz Thongs after what I think is 5 years!! I have honestly been so impressed with these thongs. Not only did I get replacement straps (for free) but decided on purchasing a new pair and getting one for the missus too. Great product. Show reply

From online order to fast delivery, everything was great. I didn't take the time to read the website correctly and ordered the size 10/11. Website states if on the 11 side to probably go up a size. I contacted Boomerangz and immediately received a reply from Brad. They are located just up the road in Gold Coast and Brad arranged an exchange for me… Read more ·  1

No video, just a comment. The thongs I bought were 7-9 size unisex. I have a small mens foot size of 7. These thongs are very uncomfortable and have left permanent marks and stains on the top of my foot from the signage. The fact that they are designed and owned here in Australia does not mean they are well made. (In China). Great idea but I will not be recommending them until things can be improved. Show details

I am a tall person and take a large shoe/thong. I specifically emailed them to get the measurements of their new size 15s as they aren't in the sizing chart as yet. I was given the length and width and proceeded to order a pair. They arrived and are not the width I was told and are too narrow for my feet. They are 6mm narrower than stated. I… Read more

emailed them with the issue and was told the one they measured was the width stated and sent a photo which showed this. I then responded with a photo showing what I had. I was told I could return them if I wanted for a refund which is fine except I'll still be out of pocket for the postage through no fault of my own and still have no thongs.

I first bought a pair of Boomerangz probably 5 years ago — it’s been that long I can’t even remember exactly when. If you never want to buy another pair of thongs again, go with these ones. I’ve put hundreds of hours into them and they’ve held up incredibly well. Not only are they comfortable, but if the straps break, they’ll send you as many… Read more ·  1

Awesome thongs. Most comfortable that I've had to date, and I've tried them all, including the Archies that I have broken 3 sets of before finding these.  Replaceable straps are fantastic. Just ordered a couple more sets to keep in the kombi. Big thumbs up from me. Show details ·  1

Fantastic thongs, the straps don't pull out (no busted pluggas), they fit great and the soles actually last! To the point that I even got a free set of straps after 2 years no questions asked because my old strap broke. Just had to pay postage. It's bloody awesome! Tbh they're my favourite thongs I've ever owned. Show details ·  1

I love my Boomerangz and couldn’t be happier. I guess to give context I am in an office role but wear them daily, and can’t fault them, far better than the competitors to be honest. Generally get 10-12000 steps a day, weight 76kgs. Thanks for the prompt service and continued support. I can’t recommend them highly enough. Show details ·  1

Get one size larger than you think is my recommendation All is well that ends well, as the saying goes. So my regular purchase of things are the traditional double pluggers.

Best company! They offer 20% off if you share a photo of another companies busted pluggers. Here is my email I sent them to get my 20% off!

being attacked by a million wasps and losing my thongs down the creek at the Lions Den Hotel, I was desperate.

Four years later, no strap replacements required, and they were still going strong… until my partner borrowed them and finally killed them. I grabbed a “temporary” pair of Havianas and surprise, blew the toe strap in under 10 months.

So yes, I urgently need another pair of proper thongs.”

Honestly, the best and only thongs you’ll ever need. Three years on and still going strong! Had a strap blowout today, but the FREE replacement straps were no hassle to arrange and are in the post TODAY. Can’t fault these thongs or the company! You’ve got a lifetime customer here. Absolutely love these thongs. I’ve been getting a lot of friends on to them as well and they love them just as much! Show details
