I didn't take it that way, Beth. No worries.
Norm, the Undeez don't look like they will last very long. You could make your own and modify the design so that the pad is one large piece (instead of the two pieces like the picture I saw shows), and you can use more durable materials too. I'm afraid if the sole is anything other than leather, it will force you to run slightly up on your toes; otherwise, you will feel the edge of the rubber cutting into your foot at both after the ball and at the toes. I'd like to see what you come up with.
Also, that sandal looks way too stiff, it has a heel, and the material is that patent leather and will tear up easily. I wouldn't use them. It's possible that they are way too slippery too, but it's hard to tell from the picture.
