if it pulled completely out of the rubber, you might be SOL. if there is some strap still in the soul, you can sew them together with a little reinforcing. it will probably always be a weak link, though. also, usually when one goes, the others are ready.

T, the K5000 straps aren't formed into the sole. Rather the strap is looped through a "slot" in the sandal, and then sewed back to itself to make a loop. The buckle is connected the same way, threaded through a slot and sewed to itself.
I've had them for two seasons, so I'd feel guilty about sending them back because I wore them out.
I couldn't find the cable ties, so I tried the hose clamp. Loped throught the slot in the sandal, then the buckle, closed it and tightened, then crimped it "flat" with vice grips. It aint pretty, but it will get me by for now. May wrap it with electrical tape too to cover the sharp edges. Looks like two other straps are on there way out too
