And your next question... Are they made in Australia?

We wish we could make them here, but no, they are not. It's not from lack of trying. While the material ingredients and our manufacturing come from other parts of the world (USA and China), this is only a very small part of our business. We remain a 100% Australian owned company and use the services and products of many hard-working Aussies all over the country. We have searched high and low but can't manufacture our products here as we simply don't have the resources (ie; the machinery, the materials, the factories). People often think it's a "price" thing, but no, we simply don't know of anywhere in Australia that can manufacture our custom designed, patented and unique thongs. Do you? Please get in touch here.

We have all suffered from the dreaded blow out!
Then what do we do?
We buy another pair of thongs that are probably going to blow out again.
Why?
Because there was never a better alternative. Until now...
At Boomerangz, we are driven by our passion for innovation. We aim to create the perfect pair of thongs and by solving the number one problem, faced by thong wearers - the blow out! We are certainly heading in the right direction. Add in the Foot Arch recommended by Podiatrists, our lifetime strap warranty, customised fitment, interchangeable straps, recyclable straps, animal cruelty-free construction, vegan friendly materials and enhanced biodegradable bases that are better for the environment. We believe we have the most versatile and complete thong on the market. We won’t stop here though, we will continue to strive for innovation, to inspire and add value to our customers lives wherever we can, with that true Aussie spirit and ingenuity.

 

A couple of Aussies got talking about their multiple blown-out thongs and the crazy on-the-spot ‘fixes’ people would come up with when they faced the same problem. One of the design improvements stuck and after many failed attempts, the innovative design that finally worked had plugs that resembled a wide ‘V’ or ‘Boomerang’ shape.

This allowed the straps/plugs to fold over and pull through instead of snapping off but also (as a back-up), allowed the straps to be easily replaced if they did break.

We weren't the first people to complain about 'blow-outs'... And we won't be the last. This is just one story of why we wanted to innovate.

 Imagine you are back-packing around Europe in the Summer with your best mates. The much-awaited plan for the day is to go to one of the iconic German Beer Halls. As you approach the entrance, you are pumped! Full of excitement… And then BAM! Metres from the security guard, you are the victim of the dreaded “blow-out” (when your flip-flop strap breaks). You embarrassingly trip over and look like a massive idiot, even though you haven’t had any beers and are totally sober! You are denied entry to the Beer Hall as you now don’t have the appropriate footwear!
After hearing many similar stories and one too many attempts at a “MacGyver-like” solution to fix so many wasted pairs of flip flops, “Boomerangz Footwear” was born.
Inspired by the Australian landscape, eco-friendly ideas, indigenous culture, innovation, design, a relaxed and enjoyable way of life - with a mission to be:

“The most versatile Thongs in the world”
