eBay WTF of the Day: Shoes from outer space
Filed under: Accessories, Shoes
Wowza. These shoes are astronomically out of control. Not only will they make you 6 inches taller (we think; the shoes measure 8 inches from top to bottom at the back), but they also look like they are made of spaceship scraps.
Perhaps they were designed specifically for outer space. Perhaps there are lasers mounted inside for battling evil moon-critters and martians. Check out the scalloping on the bottom of these shoes. Perhaps they are weighted, to aid with gravitational issues. You could totally dig into some extra terrestrial terrain in these bad boys.
The best part of the listing:
"Not for the faint-of-heart but your friends will love them. Not worn."
This pretty much tells us everything we need to know about the owner's situation. Clearly, she was out shopping with friends and saw these shoes, and was like "oh my god you guys, I have to try those on."
And so she did. And her friends, stunned, were like "Christ on a bike, you have to get those." And so she did.
Her friends still probably ask about the shoes, in that toxic, dripping with superiority way, all like: "Have you worn those shoes yet?" "Hey, why don't you wear those big silver shoes tonight? No one else will be wearing them." *stifled laughter*
Seller Thed.lesliecollection realized her friends were laughing behind her back, and that she had to unload the outrageous pair of cartoon robot shoes. It's a sad story, really.
Honey? We don't want them either. WTF? Okay, maybe we'll buy them for a friend.
No.

designers should be shot for making such monostriousities.
