A few days ago, I bought a new pair of sneakers. Yesterday I wore them, and they caused blisters on my feet. The sneakers are mostly made of plastic so they are not as flexible as synthetic materials I used to wear. I think I will not buy plastic sneakers again.

A few days ago, I bought a new pair of sneakers. Yesterday I wore them, and they caused blisters on my feet. The sneakers are mostly made of plastic, so they are not as flexible as other shoes (usually made of different synthetic materials) I used to wear. I think I will not buy plastic sneakers again.

I have never heard of plastic sneakers before.

I have never heard of plastic sneakers before.

They looks like plastic to me. I don’t know what exactly they are.

I have never heard of plastic sneakers before.

Reebok, Nike, Adidas, and numerous smaller companies all make "plastic sneakers". I found a fascinating link about Recycled Sneakers on YouTube.

Thanks a million for that great link @Amigos4.

I was shocked, and impressed, when I saw what was being done with recycled plastic bags! I learn something new every day.

Do you need to say on my feet?

 

[Ms. Worth]

Do you need to say on my feet?

No, you don't need to say "on my feet."
It can be confidently assumed that shoes won't give you blisters anywhere else.
It's certainly possible to say it, and no one would particularly notice it, but it certainly is not usually specified.

 

[Ms. Worth]

Would you usually say "I don't know exactly what they're made of"?

Would you usually say "I don't know exactly what they're made of"?

Yes, I would.
