With these Twitter flip-flops, every step you take is a new opportunity to make a mark on this world -- literally.
These flip-flops are designed so that the bottom of the shoes resemble a stamp, so that every time you take a step, the footprint left behind will read, "Who loves me, will follow me."
This is an ingenious invention by Italian designer Paolo Ullen, who is not only capitalizing on the current Twitter craze, but also combining it with everyone's favourite season -- summer. A must-have for the beaches, these sandals show off how social media savvy you are (not to mention, the priceless pictures and shameless advertising you would be doing for your Twitter account ).
