Homemade Flip Flops
What is needed:
- 250 more or less foam earplugs (you can get them in pharmacy dispensers).
- 1 pair of sandals size 1 or 2 sizes larger than the one you wear.
- 1 gun to glue with silicone.
- 1 knife, scissors and a pen and enough silicone.
- A pair of sandals that fit you is a good idea too.
1. Cut the flip flops
- Sticking the plugs to the sole of the flip flops shortens the straps, so it is suggested to buy some oversized flip flops – two sizes larger – and trim just a little bit for more comfortable footwear.
- Wear a well-fitted pair of used flip-flops to trace the appropriate size across the bottom of the large pair that you will be modifying.
- Use a sharp razor to cut off the excess parts.
2. Mark the arch support and glue the plugs in that area
- Draw a curve around the inside strap in the appropriate area for arch support.
- Now cover that area with plugs. Try to stick them with the curved part facing up. Do not forget that in those areas the plugs are higher than the rest, since they go where the foot is more hollowed by the curvature. It’s a good idea to do both sandals at the same time to maintain a similar donning pattern.
3. Cut the plugs
Perhaps the tampons you buy can come from other measures, that depends on where you are buying them, try to make the most of the material by making adequate cuts so that you do not generate leftovers.
And that would be all the step by step to create your therapeutic flip flops, homemade and to get a better rest for your feet.
