Given the MSDS ( Home Depot's copy ), I don't think encasing skin in a good idea. Allergic reaction and cancer risks seem to be the largest concerns.

[–] pastaPersona@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Could maybe wearing a sock help to protect against these risks? IE wear a thick sock and spray the socks (instead of feet) with the flex seal and you have less cancer/allergies?

Or just wear shoes and avoid it all together?

Right? This is some next level Balenciaga shit happening.

Spray on socks

Maybe if they took the brand out of it, it would be a good idea. I went through a Vibram phase a decade or so ago. I really enjoyed it; being unable to wear them at work, and the added difficulty of putting them on and off eventually turned me off to them, but I felt the concept was great.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still love the idea of Vibrams and the five fingers were so fun but I just never wear them...

[–] sxan@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Fingers were the only Vibrams available at the time, I think; I may have had more success with something less fussy.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Vibrams also made/makes normal soles that are often found on shoes of other brands too. You may have worn some without even realizing. I did.

[–] theRealBassist@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yup, I swear by hiking boots with Vibram soles, and have for over a decade.

For me the worst part was wearing them on any hard flat surfaces always made my feet hurt, I have a high arch and it felt like the pain was due to not having enough support

[–] sxan@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, concrete was certainly an issue. I figured I just didn't wear them enough to get used to it. So many runners are able to do it.

[–] Kittenstix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh! That could have been it, but also runners aren't exactly a healthy standard, those weirdos are cool with bloody nipples. /s

[–] Umbrias@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Not to mention trench foot and the wide variety of other diseases this would encourage. Shoes are breathable four a reason. This just feels like owning nothing and being happy about it, but shoes.

What tales of falling meatballs? I'm a bit lost.

[–] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago

This is a plot point in the movie "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs."

[–] BoxerDevil@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

In the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs the main character uses something similar

Peeling it off is like getting waxed

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 2 points 1 year ago

Oddly satisfying tho.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (4 children)

My feet are too hairy to do this.

[–] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

They wouldn't be if you did it a second time...

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

All my life I was very deprived

I ain't had a woman in years

And my hands are too hairy to hide

[–] yamapikariya@lemmyfi.com 5 points 1 year ago

Pics or it didn't happen.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Same, was thinking that it would be quite painful to coat the dorsal side. But maybe just a 5mm plantar coat, extending a bit up the sides, would be an idea?

Remember folks, if it spays and sticks, you don't want it on your body.

[–] tiredofsametab@kbin.social -2 points 1 year ago

hugely wasteful and bad for the environment (in addition to all the potential health issues).
