That's Cool Original Topless Sticky Sandals Specific Disclaimer
Our Topless Sandals are a novelty item and are fun to wear in warm weather to many places, they are designed for casual use and there are many circumstances where they should not be worn. We do not recommend them to be worn to heavy traffic venues; i.e. Disneyland or other amusement parks for walking around all day on the hot asphalt or when hiking in areas where sticks or brush could cause injury to your feet. Any place that a flip flop should not be worn would also apply to the Topless Sandal.
On another note, it is very difficult to keep the Topless Sandals looking beautiful and like new. Once they have been worn many times, they will start to show wear and the adhesive will even bead up in places around the big toe, heel and ball of the foot. While it may be normal for a few areas to have the glue missing after some wear, it should not affect the adhesive ability of the Topless Sandal.
The shoes do come with a six (6) month REPLACEMENT guarantee. The warranty is for the adhesive on the shoe and it does not cover problems some may experience with excessive perspiration or humidity of the air. If you experience heavy perspiration on your feet, dry a dry anti-perspiring spray prior to wearing the sandals.
Prior to use, make sure and read our detailed instruction header that describes how to care for the Topless Sandals!
When ordering, we allow you to choose the size and a base color of the sandals; we can not guarantee a certain pattern since they are constantly changing. It is not practical for us to list every Topless Sandal pattern we have available. As our stock level change, we may even have difficulty providing the color you chose.
Nevertheless, we will do our best to have the base color you chose for the sandal, but it may not always be the dominant color. Providing us with a 2nd and 3rd choice would be recommended. If we do not get an email with your 2nd or 3rd choice, we reserve the right to substitute with another color.
With respect to wear, if you are having trouble taking the sandals off, DO NOT YANK OR RIP THEM OFF; just merely place your feet in warm water and wiggle the sandals back and forth until the adhesive breaks free of your skin. The sandals are NOT recommended for children under 7 years old or at any age if you have sensitive, excessively dry or tender skin.
