Just when we thought we had seen every conceivable fashion innovation, a company from Italy has introduced a product that turns our perception of footwear on its head. Enter NakeFit, a revolutionary adhesive foot pad that allows us to enjoy the sensation of going barefoot while providing protection from rough surfaces and extreme temperatures. Essentially, these sticky soles are like an adhesive bra for our feet, which admittedly raises some eyebrows.
According to the company’s Kickstarter page, these soles come in a variety of colors—black, pink, and light blue—and boast impressive features like waterproofing, cut-resistance, heat-resistance, and slip-proof properties. With their initial funding goal of $22,395 already surpassed by over $217,000, it seems that NakeFit is on the brink of major success. “Imagine a world where you could run freely without the worries of being barefoot,” the promotional video enticingly suggests. “NakeFit is the ultimate solution for foot protection in all settings.”
These adhesive soles are claimed to be suitable for a multitude of environments: from hot sandy beaches to pools, asphalt, and even spas. While the idea of avoiding scorching sand on a summer day is appealing, one must wonder—doesn’t the joy of going barefoot lie in feeling the sand between your toes or the grass beneath your feet?
Nevertheless, count us in. The creators of NakeFit designed these foot pads to “effectively safeguard your feet while supporting their natural capabilities.” Proudly crafted in Italy, these products are also vegan and eco-friendly, which means that even those committed to a plant-based lifestyle can showcase their footwear choices.
For interested buyers, a pledge of $39-42 secures a pack of ten soles for men, women, or even infants. However, the longevity of each pack remains a mystery; if these pads lose their stickiness after one use, it could end up costing nearly $4 per use—a bit pricey for a temporary solution. Shipping is set to commence globally starting in July.
In a world where fashion trends often leave us scratching our heads, stick-on sandals may just be the latest bewildering addition.
