Do people ever get plantar warts from someones sandal?

Possible: The wart virus is common to the skin area. When you get a break in the skin the virus can penetrated into the epidermal layers and develop into a painful verruca-wart.

Risky business.: It is just not worth the risk. If you are susceptible and the sandal has a virus, you have a great chance of picking it up.
