I posted that thread about the product that keeps slingbacks in place. Here's the link to them:

I put them on my shoes, which are heels w/slingback straps. They work for me, not sure if they would work on your flip flops but it's defintely worth a try - good luck!

Does anyone know what the heck I'm talking about? Haha. If not, got any ideas on how to make these flips work? Ty! "

If you don't mind me asking where did you order those from?

Thanks, shopchigago!

I bought the flips off the Havaianas website - http://havaianasus.com/ A company called Style West does the order processing and such. They are $17 plus shipping which is like $8. They're really super cute on and such a cool twist to the usual flip.

You're very welcome Rica! Let me know if the Strappy Strips work for you.

Oooh! I love those! I love my Havianas and living in OC I can pretty much get away with wearing flip flops everywhere! I think I want to get a pair too. Do you think if you had gotten a half size smaller it would have helped the strap stay put? Thanks!

You could probably get away with ordering a half size smaller, yeh. I wouldn't drop a whole size, though. I got size 35 and unfortunately, I don't think they're made any smaller than that.
