Thanks returning mine to store I recently bought two pair, same brand but the straps are different material, mine were on half price sale for three dollars, however now that I have seen this thread I am taking mine back to the store. Tags are still on them, when I got these I also noticed the ones that are shown here in this picture, Wal- Mart was selling them on a clearance as they were all their flip flops. Thanks for posting this. Patti |
Strange. I wonder whats causing it? I always get my flip-flops at Wal-Mart, but I didn't get there this year. |
We normally by the Nike' slide on sandals and Reef flip flops (my daughters favorites), but we do buy "cheap" flip flops too. This year, we bought some at Wal-Mart and at Old Navy. We haven't had any problems with these....they are normally worn out in the yard or around the pool, etc. This is horrible....maybe there are people allergic to something in the material? When I was younger, I could never wore "plastic" shoes, like flip flops and those jelly shoes. They would break my feet out in an allergic burn like rash. I didn't start wearing flip flops again until last year, but have worn the Nike' slide type sandals for several years. Wanted to add: I have VERY sensitive skin.....I mean VERY. Some lotions, deodrants, clothing, etc will break me out...so I am surprised that I haven't had a reaction to the cheap flip flops from Wal-Mart and Target! |
Is this really true about the flip-flops? I'm just wondering because it looks like a man's feet and ladies flip-flops in the picture AND if the flip-flops were burning his/her feet, why didn't he/she take them off? |
I just don't like Walmart, period. I live in a smaller town, Walmart came in...and everything else in town is closing or has closed. It's really sad...but nobody can compete with them. Thanks for sharing the story...another reason not to shop at Walmart, I'll take what little money I have else where...thank you very much!!! |

Apparently the chemical reaction gets worse as time goes by whether or not you wear the shoes. She said that it didn't even hurt at first, just made red marks on her feet which is why she continued to wear the shoes. I hope Wal-mart takes this seriously and looks into what is going on. I would worry about this showing up in those clogs that they make for children. Here you can see the full extent of the burns.
