General FAQ:
How long do your flops take to biodegrade?
Some thai farmers placed a pair of our flip-flops in their backyard, near a tree. In just over 4 years, they had broken apart and returned to the earth. I think it’s sooner, as I have a pair in my own backyard and, in less than 6 months, they are getting VERY soft. Pretty neat. Try it yourself!
How can I dispose of them once I’m finished?
Be creative! I’ve dug a hole in my backyard and thrown a pair in there. We’ve cut them up and used them as bedding in worm compost bins. We’ve used them as doorstops while moving Joel from apartment to his new house. We’d recommend sending them back to us so that we can recycle them through our Recycle your UnFlop program… but you can do anything you want. They’ll eventually biodegrade. If you send them to us at : Feelgoodz Recycle your UnFlop, 143 Hein Drive, Garner, NC 27529 We will give you five flipsquad points for each pair you send. Please include your email address so we can reward you with points!
Will your flops give me blisters?
Probably not, but with any other rubber flops, you need to break them in. We recommend easin’ into them. Please don’t take an 8-hour hike up Mt Kilamanjaro on the first day.
Do the dyes rub off on my feet?
Our flops are dyed with lead and mercury free inks. All natural. They shouldn’t, but we have had a few people tell us the dyes ‘bleed’ a bit. No worries. You’re only a shower away.
I’m allergic to natural latex. Am I allergic to your flops?
Yes. Our flops come straight from the yang para latex rubber trees, so please do not wear them if you are allergic. If you’re allergic to latex, you know you’re allergic. Or at least we hope so!
