Given the MSDS ( Home Depot's copy ), I don't think encasing skin in a good idea. Allergic reaction and cancer risks seem to be the largest concerns.
Maybe if they took the brand out of it, it would be a good idea. I went through a Vibram phase a decade or so ago. I really enjoyed it; being unable to wear them at work, and the added difficulty of putting them on and off eventually turned me off to them, but I felt the concept was great.
Not to mention trench foot and the wide variety of other diseases this would encourage. Shoes are breathable four a reason. This just feels like owning nothing and being happy about it, but shoes.

And my hands are too hairy to hide
Pics or it didn't happen.
Same, was thinking that it would be quite painful to coat the dorsal side. But maybe just a 5mm plantar coat, extending a bit up the sides, would be an idea?
And this classic....
Remember folks, if it spays and sticks, you don't want it on your body.

hugely wasteful and bad for the environment (in addition to all the potential health issues).
