Designer Jimmy Tomczak sought a solution to the painful trials of walking bare foot. He wanted something that would protect his feet while still giving him the free feeling of wearing no shoes. The result is a foldable, packable, durable, washable, waterproof sandal – paperfeet – that is made from old billboard vinyl. All of the shoes are handmade in Michigan. These surf-ready sandals are an up-and-coming trend, and a way to promote green, American business. Make your vacation buddies jealous!
