Barefoot Pads Leave Feet Free Without Dirt

Disposable Soles

Because we all love being barefoot, but don't necessarily like the dirt that can accompany the act, this new concept can help. Disposable soles are basically a stack of sticky, foot-shaped pads that fit perfectly on the bottom of your feet.

With these stuck to your soles, it looks like you're barefoot and almost feels it, minus the feel of the crumbs stuck under your toes.

Implications - There are many behaviors in which individuals refrain from engaging due to the consequences or negative results that follow. Businesses that provide these consumers with products that allow them to indulge in such activities will appeal to a large clientele and see big returns.
