said strip in direct contact with the ground, which causes wear and may cause the strip to break accidentally. Additionally, since it does not have a firm grip, the flip flop could slide out of the support and even said support strip is in good condition.

Another drawback of this type of solutions is the low versatility to adapt to various dimensions of the foot, forcing different supports to be available depending on the size of the user's foot.

For this reason, it is necessary to design a fastening strap for flip-flops that, in a simple and economical way, manages to hold this type of footwear firmly to the foot, allowing at the same time to adapt to the various dimensions of both the user's foot and the flip flop.
