Nothing Like Crocheted Flip Flops for Summer

I have no idea where the good people at What Not to Crochet found these… acts of footwear, but I definitely agree they were a monumentally bad idea. The yarn is acrylic, and the perpetrator assures us the leather soles are not animal cruelty since they come “from a cow that’s already dead.”
Well, at least there isn’t a cow walking around with a gaping wound shaped like two flip flop soles.
On the other hand, since the entire point of flip flops is to provide breezy footwear that slips on and off easily at will by the poolside, I don’t think crocheting acrylic shin guards and knee-high straps improves the usefulness of the item in question.
But maybe I’m wrong.
Opinions?
