Do you know of any picture of this? All i can find is ads for sandals inspired by this phenomenon.

Closest I can find is an Amazonian rubber shoe from the late 19th century here:

The darker Amazon shoe is further down. The more ornate one is Macintosh's.

What tales of falling meatballs? I'm a bit lost.

This is a plot point in the movie "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs."

In the movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs the main character uses something similar

My feet are too hairy to do this.

They wouldn't be if you did it a second time...

All my life I was very deprived
I ain't had a woman in years
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?

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).

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.
Could maybe wearing a sock help to protect against these risks? IE wear a thick sock and spray the socks (instead of feet) with the flex seal and you have less cancer/allergies?
Or just wear shoes and avoid it all together?
Spray on socks
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.
For me the worst part was wearing them on any hard flat surfaces always made my feet hurt, I have a high arch and it felt like the pain was due to not having enough support
I still love the idea of Vibrams and the five fingers were so fun but I just never wear them...
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.
