Support your candidate with your shoes

Political t-shirts? So over. Your candidate on underwear? Yes-ter-day! The newest cool way to show your support is to emblazon your candidate across a pair of Keds.

Through the magic of digital print on demand, Zazzle.com lets you put pretty much any picture on any item and sell it through their online marketplace.

Taking advantage of this technology, dozens of enthusiastic Obama supporters have customized Keds with their artistic interpretation of his likeness.

Mr. McCain also has a selection of shoes that bear his likeness, although we must admit that his supporters are both more traditional and more conservative.

We love a comfy skimmer as much as the next girl, but we're not sure how well this political statement translates into a fashion statement. At least they're easier to change than a bumper sticker.

In the gallery, see what the "shoe designers" came up with for your candidate.
