This may be old news but...I'd be wary of cheap Wal-Mart flip flops

I went through and pulled all the China/Walmart flippers out of the operation flipflop stuff.....I sure didn't want to take a chance with someone having this kind of problem while they're already wounded in iraq~
Wally World said they would take them back and give me store credit, so that's good.............I can just buy pj pants then!

Yikes hope your feet are better. Thanks for sharing guess that's why they cost $2.99 I think I will continue to pay higher price for my flip flops.

This is weird.

I wore some a couple of days ago and now I have two blisters on the outside edge of each foot where the strap(?) meets the bottom part of the shoe. Maybe it was because I walked a lot ?

Now I'm not feeling so bad about those expensive Margaritaville flip flops I have worn without a rash all summer.....

Good Lord. And to think if they'd taken this lady seriously early in the summer they could have saved all the rest of the folks who were buying them right up through August a lot of pain and agony.

"it's cheaper to deny, deny, deny than it is do a recall. Unless someone dies." - typical ethical approach to problem products.

I have been wearing flip flops bought from Wal-mart for years and have had no problems. Probably just a brand more than a Walmart thing.
Of all flip flops I've bought I tend to prefer the cheaper ones the most and they even seem to last longer.

This person was prolly really susceptable to irritations. I mean, did you get a look at those toenails!!
