Author's Note: Disposable Flip Flops/ Thongs! How many pairs of flip flops/thongs have you lost?
These shoes made of 2 ply cardboard and coloured paper; feature air sole, traction grip for the beach, comfort, style and affordability.
Designed, using geometric cellular configuration to support weight, tabs for added strength; wear these attractive foot protectors and then environmentally dispose. Idea came from the original cardboard inserts that were used to cover the holes in leather shoes during hard times.
Surprisingly, strong straps were the biggest problem until I hit on the idea to use cardboard handles from shopping bags covered in crepe paper.
No, there will not be a production line!
Procedure as well as supplementary making and testing images
Next idea will be disposable sunglasses, due to the numbers of glasses lost annually!
