Walmart flip flop shoes cause Rashes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
I love flip flops,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and tend to buy multiples at a time. I too purchased flip flips at Walmart in the early spring but of course it was still cold outside so I didn't wear the shoes until the end of May. I purchased a yellow blue pair, a red and blue pair,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a pink and yellow pair and a solid black pair. For less than $3.00 a pair I though I was getting a bargain. I wore the black pair out to the movies and dinner and buy the time I got home I had the same marks on my feet! The redness turned very puffy, began to blister,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and it would not go away until I put a medicated cream on my feet. I thought I must have had some random allergy to something in the flip flop but I had no idea others had experienced the same problem until I saw a report on TV.

Yikes! Something needs to be done, who knows what is in those shoes!
Do you still have the shoes? If so, on another forum someone posted that a local university lab, tested take out food, for the poster.
Perhaps someone can find a university lab that will test the shoes. The ingredients should be posted on you tube,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], all over the internet.
What do you think?

its not only those plastic shoes, last year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], i had to go to clinic for the same exact rash,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I just bought a new pair of slippers from walmart,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and recently i bought 2 pairs of sandle type shoes with the plastic toe, and sure enough got the same rash again, took back other pair, that i never wore,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and didn't get any response from customer service,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so its not only those sandles.
Colleen,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], did you go to the links I posted see the pictures others have posted?
If you still have the shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], would you consider attempting to find a university lab that would test them for ingredients?
It is obvious from reading the links I have posted, Walmart is ignoring people who have suffered. Did you take pictures? Did you save your medical reports? Something needs to be done.
I wonder if children's shoes have the same problems. Has anyone heard? Thanks for your post, it is so important to get the word out there. Please post more of your experiences everyone.

Is anyone responsible for themselves any more, or do we all just sue the bejeezus out of everyone for every little thing? Caveat emptor folks - what do you think you're getting for less than $3 a pair?
So you believe everything is left up to the individual? When you go to the store and buy spinach,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], have you researched what farm this spinach came from? Have you then researched what fertilizers and pesticides were used; the HIV status of every farm worker; the health of every person involved in its transport? After that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you researched the field where the crop was grown to determine if any toxic substances had leached into the soil? Then you moved on to the lettuce section, and started the same routine all over again!?!?
I think it would be wise to purchase products of quality and paying the extra cost than suffer the consequence. Inexpensive flip flops/shoes/sandals/etc are tempting, but have you thought about why you are paying that price? There are reasons why major corporations endorse countries such as China to manufacture their products: cheap labour and materials. I agree that companies are responsible for producing quality goods. However, we are responsible to weigh/know/research the pros and cons on the items we buy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], calculating our budget to check if we can afford more than $3,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and if we truly need them. Afterall, has the justice system ever condoned ignorance? If you have an issue,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], make it known politely and ensure it is documented and resolved. Walmart has stopped selling the flip-flops and are doing further testing for preventative measures. Only 10 cases were reported out of 7 million customers who have purchased the Sun and Sand flip flops. What does that tell you? And please don't provide inane explanation.
