Say Goodbye to Flipflop Tanlines

Unfortunately, we found these after Labor Day, but you should definitely put these topless flipflops on your Christmas wishlist. We're not sure exactly how these work but the Topless-Sandals website claims that they will stay attached to your foot for at least a year. They claim that the "sticky" won't leave any residue on your feet but we can't figure out why your foot would stick and sand wouldn't. Check out the video, it's kind of surreal - we would have liked to have seen more of the sandal and less of the guy's face but apparently they think that's what sells shoes-

(thanks our strange world)

I got a pair of these once, in Arizona. They were cool for about 1 hour, then they they didn't stay stuck to my feet. Who has time to wash the stickies 10+ a day?

I bought some of these YEARS ago, they were ok, you have to keep your feet dry and clean tho and the tiniest bit of dirt btwn them and your foot will undo the stickyness, kinda was a lotta bother, but you'll find out.

weird – how the heck do they keep it attached to your foot like that? What kind of sticky stuff can you possibly get that doesn't get dirty easily or that doesn't dirty your foot (or be dirtied by your foot?)
To be honest, I don't think they look too cool. They look wierd! Not much of a 'sandal' – more like a 'topless rubber' or just 'foot rubber' or 'soul' or something.
I'd be pretty freaked out to put something sticky under my feet and rely on it to be sticky all day-- freaky! If the other poster is correct, then needing to wash it sounds like an absolute bother. Maybe i'll skip these... but I definitely will tell my friends about them!

Tan lines refers to a division between an area or areas on the skin of a human of pronounced comparative paleness relative to other areas of their body that have been suntanned by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The source of the radiation may be the sun, or artificial UV sources as used in "Sunbeds". The tanned area is such that it becomes visually clear where the body of the person was exposed versus the place(s) they covered up. Tan-line areas can occur more generally in almost any context where the human body is exposed to comparatively more sunlight in certain areas than in others. In some cases very little sunlight is required: people can sometimes pale even further than the natural skin tone of the rest of their body. In women, paling further than natural skin tone sometimes occurs in the areas of the breasts typically covered by the brassiere or a bathing suit top. Paling can also occur due to coverage around the buttocks or groin area where clothes are especially taut. Tan lines can be an inadvertent result of a work environment or of recreational activities, or of a personal choice.
