With this awesomely simple Instructable, you will create a pair of comfortable, cheap, and crazy-cool duct tape flats. The main difference between these and other duct tape shoes (as awesome as they are) is that with these, the shoes are made around your feet, so they fit awesomely (and how cool is wrapping up your own feet in duct tape!?)
I put together my first and current pair in two hours, and was finished in time for physics lab. I used them in place of paid-for shoes, both inside and outside. They've held up very nice-like, with the help of some extra duct tape every few adventures.

Why waste a roll of duct tape?
My motivation was the ability to throw these things in my bag for barefoot/sock-only days. When I need to succumb to The Man (always getting us down) who requires shoes for service, I need only to equip these and could acquire food.
If you choose bright duct tape, you can increase the attention your feet receive by up to 100!% (That's no typo. That's one hundred factorial percent. That's right, over 10^157 percent!)
When wearing these shoes, many of the one-phrase conversations passerby-ers say at you will become the question: "Are you wearing duct tape shoes?" You need only to nod to increase your coolness.

tl;dr They can be an inside/outside shoe, if you want. Fine for walking around town, though your feet might hurt.
