One thought on “Blow-out: repair or replace?”

1. It sounds like you’ve found a creative temporary fix with the paperclip! For a more permanent repair on your Havaianas, you might consider the following options:

   1. Shoe Goo or Strong Adhesive: Using a strong adhesive like Shoe Goo can help bond the broken parts together. Just make sure to let it dry fully before wearing them again.

   2. Replacement Straps: You can often find replacement straps for flip-flops online. If you find one that matches or complements your sandals, you could swap it out for a more durable solution.

   3. Duct Tape: For a quick and effective fix, thick duct tape can hold things together quite well. It may not look perfect, but it can keep your sandals functional.

   4. Sewing with Strong Thread: If the blowout allows for it, you could sew the broken parts back together with a sturdy thread, like nylon, to keep it secure.

   If you’re set on saving for a new pair, consider checking for sales or discount codes online. Good luck, and hopefully, those weeds aren’t too bad!
