About us

Why we made The Cushies

Australians spend a lot of time on their feet: on tiled kitchens, timber floors, hot concrete and long shifts. The classic thong is great for the beach, but after a full day it gives you almost nothing between your feet and the ground.

We wanted something simple: a slide you can wear around the house, in the backyard, at the pool and down to the shops, with a thick, soft sole that makes every step feel lighter. That's The Cushies.

What makes them different

  • A thick, cushioned sole that squishes softly with every step.
  • One solid piece of EVA foam: light and waterproof, with no glue or seams to come apart.
  • A soft, wide ribbed strap that doesn't rub.
  • Six colours, from classic Black to Baby Blue, in Australian sizes for women and men.

How we keep the price fair

We're a small online brand. Our slides are made by our manufacturing partner and shipped straight to your door, with no shop rent and no middlemen. That's how we can offer Buy 1, Get 1 FREE and free tracked shipping across Australia. The trade-off is that delivery takes 6–14 business days, and we'll always be upfront about that.

Our promise

If your slides arrive faulty or damaged, we'll replace them, no need to send them back. If they don't fit, we'll help you sort it out. Every email is answered by a real person within 1 business day at hello@thecushies.com.
