I really wanted to like these, in a thirteen-year-old hippie girl on the beach sort of way. But I just can’t. Maybe if they fit – although that may just be because of the angle of the photo. Maybe if the pattern was centered and the seams were finished. One mile walking the woods in these and that zig-zags going to be all torn up with bramble. I know I’m getting technical, but avant-garde raw edge deconstructed looks irk my soul.
Know what? I save every snippet of lace, fabric and string, too, but I don’t make shit like this out of them. And even if I did, I would paint my toenails first or at the very least wash my feet.
Sadly, your feet will no longer be beautiful, Mountain Girl, if you wear shitty scraps of fabric on your feet. They will be dirty, cut, and callused.
Maybe you can use the money you make to buy a pumice stone and some organic, fair trade bandages.
Ew, ew, ew-whomever is high enough to buy these will need to don them AFTER her nasty encrusted tootsies modeled them. I’d rather they stuck a dick in it!
Will someone please buy a pair so that she can afford a pedicure? Does the modeled pair come with a free blood sample from the cut on her leg? If she were a real mountain girl she would have more hair on her legs.
#19 Patty – my ex-wife-in-law bites her toenails. (but that wasn’t the reason my husband divorced her, I’m sorry to say).
the only purpose I can imagine these “foot adornments” used for is some sort of wannabe bondage accessory. But I don’t think they’d hold up under actual use.
‘Hello. I’m happy to introduce some mountain girl yada yada…’
At least we weren’t introduced in the first person like we were to the embellished denim torso handbag thingy featured here last week.
Having been a barefoot hippie mountain girl in my day, let me say (1) don’t go barefoot in the fucking mountains, moron; (2) I’ll just get my toe fungus at the gym; and (3) is that a damn orange sack with bottom cut out? WTF?
That shit looks like makeshift bandages. Which, come to think of it, would probably really come in handy once you cut your feet into oblivion on those “mountain rocks”.
Just imagine how fresh that white scalloped material will look after an hour of walking around on either a dusty dirty garden path or filthy polluted city street.
Oh noo
the last thing I expected to see on my daily check of regretsy was my little toes that apparently no one likes but the truth is
I knew you all would catch me someday…making something…ridiculous =)

and okay fine..next time I’ll get a pedicure I promise!
but come on….on the beach maybe? no? okay.
oh, and barefoot sandals are designed to wear on the beach – there’s a few websites that make them (proper ones, with real stitching!) for people who are getting married on a beach and don’t want to wear shoes (in case you sink i guess) but the ones on those website are actually well-made, colour co-ordinated, and made out of gemstones instead of leftover scraps of awful material
And for only $140 you can join the Mountain Girl Clothing group! Just what every mountain girl always wanted… to receive useless pieces of clothing (accessories) that are poorly patched together. Maybe you should spend some time in the woods hunny, see what you would really need. Or change it to Wannabe Mountain Whore because your giving the rest of us a bad name.
I put my wager on MargaretMaggieMay. Plus, *Wannabe Mountain Whore* sounds like it would be more fun than dirty footed Mountain Girl.
MMM sounds Irish and I think with a little liquid encouragement, she could beat the granola out of Mountain Girl. Being Irish, I can say these things…
#35 Calophi :
I hate the concept of barefoot sandals. There are a few knit and crochet patterns for them, but I honestly don’t see the point!
******************
I think that about thong underwear! What’s the point of bothering to wear them? You don’t want panty lines but there’s not enough fabric to cover the essentials…….
Barefoot sandals are somewhat of a misnomer, referring to straps or jewelry such as anklets and toe rings that have no sole. barefoot sandals originated in South Asia and are popularly worn at religious festivities and events primarily for decoration rather than protection.
I kinda like them. I think with the right outfit they could be very sexy. I would like to see more glass beads incorporated in them though.
Yeah, have fun with those in the mountains. Don’t know about the mountains the seller is thinking of, but the mountains where I live have snakes, sharp rocks, brambles, mud and other features that make actual shoes very attractive.
I think they need some beads added to them. I don’t think they’re that bad at all. I’ve seen some rediculous hippy clothing over the years & these barefoot sandals are normal in comparison.

#87 Wow thanks for the “sewing advice” that you put so nicely in that beautiful list for me….I’ll be sure to print it out and hang it above my sewing machine table for future reference…I’ll even frame it!
ps. if you’d like a bag of my toenail clippings since you love my toes so much, I’ll send em to you…..CONVO me! =)
<3
Let me say, that 1) I know that my feet are ugly, but nowhere near as ugly as those, but I would never use my feet to model anything and 2) a huge WTF on the Stickysandals. Thanks for sharing, Ihad never sen those before, but I mean, WHO actually *likes* something constantly sticking to the bottom of their entire foot? Even if those DID work more than once? Yikes!
So, my mom used to make things like this.. they were all of thread/string, and braided or knotted.. which isn’t to say they are any ‘better’.. but it’s the truth.. good God, the shame I feel admitting this.. hey, maybe we can make a few bucks..

I’d go barefoot before I’d wear those! Oh wait…
June 16, 2010 at 4:37 pm
This would go great with my drum circle outfit! I can already smell the patchouli now.
June 16, 2010 at 4:37 pm
Is it weird that I’m more disturbed by the toenails than the “sandals”?
June 16, 2010 at 4:38 pm
When I saw that headline, I said to myself
“Self, that’s gonna be a pair of feet I do NOT want to see.”
…yep.

“All these barefoot sandals are made using the little pieces left behind from other mountain girl creations.”
why, that DOES make me feel unique and special!.”
June 16, 2010 at 4:47 pm
These are so silly. Everyone knows feral mountain girls don’t have internet access to buy them.
June 16, 2010 at 4:52 pm
But wouldn’t they look fantastic with the Loseralls?!?
The carnie folk must be scrambling to get their hands on these!
June 16, 2010 at 4:53 pm
I didn’t know people could bite their own toenails.
June 16, 2010 at 4:54 pm
Just don’t wear them jaywalking in Seattle. You’ll get worse than a Regretsy beatdown.

Some of those toenails seem to be foaming.
Even the fly wouldn’t land on these tootsies.

Sweetie, you are not a Mountain Girl. If you wore those while climbing any sort of mountain, your feet would be torn to pieces.
Oh, sorry, they’d be torn to “peaces”.
June 16, 2010 at 5:32 pm

You would have to be moronic to wear those.

where?
June 16, 2010 at 5:41 pm
I think I figured out what these things are-foot fascinators.Useless & usually completely ridiculous.
June 16, 2010 at 5:43 pm
I thought they might be foot flatinators, hamoza, due to no arch support.
June 16, 2010 at 5:49 pm
Will someone please buy a pair so that she can afford a pedicure? Does the modeled pair come with a free blood sample from the cut on her leg? If she were a real mountain girl she would have more hair on her legs.

She should cross-sell a good pair of surgical tweezers so you can dig all the crap out of your feet.

I just like everyone else am grossed out by the nasty toenails and sheer BS of this item, but a someone who sews shit Mountain Girl needs to:
1) Learn how to properly use a damn serger-it’s not a toy MG!
2) Learn how to back-stitch to lock a seam, random stoned squigglies like on the toe straps won’t hold a NY minute in Seattle or the Mountains!
Sorry shit like that bugs me it’s sewing not Rocket Science buy sewing for dummies or take a damn class.
