The flip-flops which don't flip or flop

The flip-flops which don't flip or flopThe topless flipflop - a sandal with no straps and no apparent way of staying on your foot. The secret is the tacky water-based glue that keeps the foamy sole in place but does not come off on skin.

In the two weeks since the sandals have gone on sale - under the slogan "flip-flops that don't flip or flop" - an astonishing 3,000 pairs have been sold, despite minimal publicity.

"They do need more tender loving care than the usual sandal - a regular brush in soapy water to keep them sticky. And they work more easily with girls rather than heavy men, although mine are still working."

The flip-flops, which come in five designs, including beach, rainforest and aloha sunset, cost £12.50 each and are available in three sizes - small, medium and large.

Invented in the U.S. and made in China, they have already proved a hit in Australia and Canada, where thousands of pairs have been sold.
