One of the biggest issues facing the footwear industry is waste.  Our 3D Printers only use material where it is needed so we produce no waste.  We also print on demand so supply and demand is always matched.  

Recyclable - we'll recycle them into new thongs for you when they eventually wear out! 

Ever gone sliding in the wet in an old pair of thongs?  Retraction Footwear thongs don't absorb water like traditional foam thongs, which gives increased grip in the wet. 

We've also incorporated a tread and a hard wearing sole. 

They are also hard wearing outlasting traditional thongs.

Where are your thongs made?
Thongs are quintessentially Australian. Yet its damn near impossible to get a pair thats made here. Even most Australian brands still ship product made overseas.

No need to worry about the COVID-19 risk with unknown supply chains.  We design and 3d print them in our Australian facility before assembling, checking and shipping them directly to you! (We're based in Adelaide)
