For those who have everything: Feel the turf between your toes
Turf-covered sandals that make you feel like you're walking barefoot — and more in our collection of bizarrely elite consumer products
You can get the feeling of walking barefoot in a grassy field wherever you go with Kusa flip-flops ($32), Australian-made knockabouts lined with high-quality synthetic turf that has "the look and feel" of the real thing. Their designer says that sporting the shoes is a way to rebel against "imposed conformity." But feel free to wear them just to start conversations when you're out strolling on a city street, along a beach, "or — if you're into irony — on an actual lawn." Source: Discovery
