I don't get a chance to post here all that much but I just wanted to warn everyone so they won't have to go through what I am right now!! I purchased a pair of slide shoes from a payless shoe store. You know just a fun pair of shoes for summer - after a week of wearing the shoes I started to itch, then the itching got worse, so bad that I couldn't wear any shoes at all!! Then then almost overnight I got this huge red raised rash on my feet only now I know it's not a rash it's a chemical burn! I'm into my second week with these horrible burns on my feet and tonight I'm watching the news and see this woman talking about how a $2.99 pair of flip flops from Wal-Mart burned her feet- the shoes were made in China. I have the same exact looking marks on my feet! There is a void in the burn marks and now that I look at these stupid shoes it's the exact same pattern in the fabric on the shoes.
At least now I know what is wrong and I have been putting anti-biotic cream on the burns, but this is horrible and I just want people to be careful these burns are terrible and take so long to heal. The woman with the flip flops took pictures and they are SO bad. I don't rememeber where the link is but if you type "feet destroyed by wal-mart flip flops" on the net you can see her story. There is at least one other person who purchased her flip flops in July too at Walmart and had the same problem.
I just wanted to post this - I'm so afraid this will happen to someone's child or something, the trouble is how do you know this is going to happen? The shoes I bought were not from China they say US on them with paten pending.
Anyway this is very painful and I can only imagine what kind of scars I can look forward to. NO more cheap shoes for me!! I hope no one else goes through this!!
