How to heat mould Archies Thongs

Archies Thongs are made from a highly specialized form of thermoplastic foam and when heated, the material will become soft and moldable. The following technique can be used to heat mould your Archies Thongs. As this involves boiling water, please take extreme care not to burn yourself.

1. Bring a large kettle of water to a boil

2. Place your thongs with the arch down in your kitchen sink with the drain plug in (we don't want water to drain).

3. Pour boiling water into the sink until the arch is covered.

4. Keep your thongs in the water for 15 - 45 seconds (any longer time can damage the thongs). Remove thongs from the sink and pat dry.

5. Let the thongs cool off to the point it will not burn your skin. Stand in the thongs (barefoot) and shift weight from one thong to the other - allowing full body weight to rest on each thong. Do this for 3-4 minutes.

You can do this multiple times until the thongs feel like they have a customized fit. This process will happen naturally with wear, but the heat mould process will mould the thongs to your feet in a matter of minutes.
