The Paper-Feet Sandal gives you the barefoot feel for a portion of the regular designer sandal price. Designer Jimmy Tomczac created these savvy kicks using billboard vinyl, a durable and sustainable material for the sandal’s soles.

Having gotten inspiration from materials lying around his home, Jimmy Tomczac's Paper-Feet Sandal was a result of experimentation with comfort and durability from recycled materials. Geared towards those who love to walk barefoot--minus the cuts and scratches--these Paper-Feet sandals may be just the thing for you.
