Easier to find a safety pin. Just put it back thru the hole and place safety pin thru the tip so that it makes it not slip back thru. You're basically making a little stopper with the safety pin so it won't slip back out. good for a quick fix

I grew up wearing rubber slippers(flip flops.....) and when they would pop out, I would stick the bottom part of my shirt through the hole, stick the numb'n in the shirt part, then pull. A fast and temporary solution is a saftey pin.

Hmm, what are the chances you or one of your buddies would have nylon strong or a washer with them? Good idea, but I was hoping for a fix-as-soon-as-it-happens type of instructable.

a cheap pair of animal sandals i had broke while walking up a big hill, found a cable tie in my girlfriends bag and fixed it (she's a handy girl). Further up the hill the other one broke too, damn animal, all out of cable ties managed to sort it with a key ring! All it takes is a little imagination :)
