What are those?!

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I know it’s a meme but it’s actually a pretty good reason people where them. They are ridiculous and they get a reaction. Or having one of those anime girl cars. It’s not exactly a joke but the it’s not exactly serious either.

Whenever I see these I always think of the film Leningrad Cowboys Go America (wiki link).

I love these, wish I could find a pair.

There are actually quite a few hobbyist cobblers. Many focus on historical shoes. I'm sure they can custom make you a pair.
