Custom fit slippers are at the tip of your scissors with this self-adhesive footwear. Ernest Perera’s Uncut slippers are a DIY solution to finding the perfect fit.
These slippers start with a simple design—a single sheet of material is marked with sizes so you can cut out your exact fit. The slippers then fold over and attach Velcro-style, and are completely adjustable to the width of your foot.
If the sheet of material didn’t waste what you can’t use on your feet (which is about half the material), this would be an awesome eco-tastic invention. As it is, it’s just a quirky way to make sandals.
