How do I clean my Switchflops?

When it's time to spruce up your Switchflops, it's easy to restore them to almost new condition. Simply remove the decorative straps and place the thongs in your washing machine on a delicate cycle. Then air-dry the thongs overnight. If a strap becomes soiled it should be hand washed to avoid damaging the decorative ribbon or button.

Why don't my straps fit correctly on my thongs?

First note that Switchflops straps come in 3 sizes: small, medium and large. Small straps fit shoe sizes 5 and 6. Medium straps fit  shoe sizes 7 and 8. And large straps fit shoe sizes 9, 10 and 11. If your shoe size and corresponding strap do not match the strap will not look right.

Also please note that there is a left and right side to each strap. To ensure proper fit attach the shorter end of the strap to the inside portion of the thong. If you are confused, fold the strap in half to determine which is the shorter portion.
