Grass flip flops turn your shoes into a dirty, squishy lawn

City dwellers, are you tired of walking on sidewalks, carpet, or -- God forbid -- the brightly colored plastic of your summer flip flops? Well then, Krispy Kreme has a solution for you. Yes, for some bizarre reason America's number one "Get 'em while they're hot" donut retailer has started making shoes. Not just any shoes though, grass shoes. Behold:

The idea is to give you "that feeling of a summer lawn beneath your bare feet." The reality sounds a lot dirtier and squishier. After all, that grass must be growing in something. Reportedly, these seeded flip flops will stay green for nearly four months, provided you "care for them." We can only assume that means watering them, mowing them, and playing on miniature slip-n-slides laid out across their tiny green expanses.
