Wal-Mart's feet-burning flip-flops

Darlings, anyone with the most basic fashion sensibility knows that the only things more stylish than Wal-Mart shoes are... chemical burns!

Well, now you can have the best of both worlds, apparently. Check out this woman's account of her horrifying experience with some very normal-looking flip-flops that she bought from Wal-Mart. I didn't want to post any of the pictures of the serious burns left on her feet because some of you may find them quite unsettling.

Despite informing Wal-Mart of this major problem and hearing from someone else who experienced the same issue with identical flip-flops, not much progress has been made in the situation. The problem still has yet to be resolved and it looks like the woman's website will be updated as news comes in.

The scariest thing is that Wal-Mart is still selling the shoes. Sign of good customer care, right there.
