Underwaterbob,

They look a lot like leeches.

Then you slowly follow the shoes up the uncannily thin and tall figure to be greeted with a sharp toothed smile, attached to the face of a tight skinned yet aged man “helllooo, pity about the loss of another” he states.

Reminded me of a Finnish rock group called Leningrad Cowboys. They were big over here I think when I was a kid at least.

moon,

Sometimes you need a little laugh when you’re in mourning. People wearing ridiculous shit is actually a thing that helps

braxy29,

i think there’s like a whole subculture around these shoes, no joke

edit - other people in thread explaining it better!

ParabolicMotion,

Those were extremely popular in a town where I worked between 2013 and 2016. As a non-Latina, I laughed a little when I first saw them, because I had never seen any shoes like that. Someone told me they were Oaxacan boots. Men who dress in traditional Oaxacan attire will often wear them.

Best comment 😂

Blaster_M,

WHAT ARE THOSE

Gerudo,

I’d argue it’s a toned down version of these. Go to any mostly Mexican party/club, and you see these.

…elongating the toe of normal boots by as much as 5 feet (1.5 m)

That’s excessive.

lol that’s the best name they could come up with for them?

toofpic,

It’s only worse with seagulls. I saw a cool big speckled seagull once and decided to google how it’s called. It’s called “big speckled seagull”. A small gray seagull would be called a “small grey seagull”. All the other animals are usually called something cool, like if you see a big beaver, it’s “Johnson’s beaver”, or an eagle, and it’s called a “southern nesting eagle”.
Then a fucking seagull is a fucking seagull.

Oh what’s this conveniently placed hole in the ground that I can push this dude in?

Fedizen,

However if the deceased has these shoes its your duty to take them
