Here's a simple fix for the annoying habit shared by CROCs and similar sandals... the dreaded STRAP BLOWOUT !
The little plastic rivets are designed by factory lawyers to self destruct (see the attached images of the stages of decay) if you were to snag them on a wheat thresher, barbed wire fence or the clutches of a rabid Marmoset. Yes- they are designed to give way and release you from harm... usually at the worst possible and inopportune moment.
By using a bit of BUNGEE Cord and some soft tubing, you can improve your shoes to CROC 2.0

NOT "free" ! 99 cents for a pack of 4 plus an exorbitant $5 shipping charge for something which should be able to fit in an envleope with a 49 cent stamp!

I always used a paper fastener or a twist tie (which were not very comfortable).
