It's easy to find a cute summer sandal, but they often come with straps that leave unwanted tan lines that are difficult to get rid of. With this specifically in mind, the Love Sandal was created, featuring heart-shaped designs that leave behind playful markings once the shoes have been removed.
The Love Sandal is currently crowdfunding on Indiegogo, aiming to raise a total of $15,000, and what's most remarkable about the idea is that it was conceived by a 10-year-old. Abi Smithson is a girl with a grand vision and the know-how to make her ideas become reality. Abi says: "Since the realization that sandal tan lines can be fairly unsightly after a day in the sun, I solved the problem with custom-designed footwear with heart."
10% of the net profits from Love Sandal sales will go towards the Sick Kids Foundation, in order to give back to kids in need.
