Hey all, I bought a pair of cheap flip flops and now have what appears to be chemical burns on my feet where the straps were...I have contacted the FDA, and they weren't much help, I contacted Walmart to alert them to the fact there might be a problem and they were SO rude I couldn't believe it. The picture of my feet was taken yesterday, 7-1-07 and I have had this for 10 days now, is there anyone else that has had any problems?

Wal-mart! It's probably some poison from China in the material. More then likely you are sensitive to the material they are made out of. Stop wearing them.

I get my kids flip flops from Wal-Mart every year to wear to the beach or the pool and they have never broke out in a rash. My daughter also loves the Old Navy ones because they have so many colors and styles, but again she's never had problems with them.

You are probably allergic to the material it is made of.

I love my cheap walmart sandals! I've never had any marks on my feet except for tan marks...you're probably allergic ...you have to look at other possibilities besides thinking it was the store you got it from...you probably thought they were rude because they didn't tell you what you wanted to hear..take the flip flops with you to the doctor and find out because 10 days is a lot unless you keep scratching making it worse.

Throw them away unless you can wear them with those little Japanese toe socks.
Thanks for this interesting item.

Whoa, it made your right foot bigger than the left...
And sorry, but you did say you bought them at WalMart... and you were expecting quality?
If the service staff at WalMart was less than friendly, speak to a manager and get your five bucks back.

you may have a reaction to the plastic/rubber that the flip flop is made of ?
