Step 2

Use your hands to remove the remaining part of the old rivet from inside the Croc.

Step 3

Flip the Croc strap to the front of the sandal and apply a binder clip to hold the strap in place.

Step 4

Insert the end of the new rivet through the hole from the inside of the Croc.

Step 5

Place the head of the new rivet through the hole of the Croc strap.
Move the Croc strap so that the rivet head aligns with the opening of the rivet tail.

Step 6

Use a flathead screwdriver to turn the rivet head clockwise to tighten it.

Step 7

Remove the binder clip.

Step 8

To test for tightness, move the strap towards the back of the sandal.
If the strap bends instead of rotating freely, the screw is on too tight.
If necessary, to loosen the Croc strap, rotate the rivet head counterclockwise using a flathead screwdriver.
