The Case of the Odd Shoe Empty The Case of the Odd Shoe

Post  ChasMcG Sun Jul 10, 2011 4:09 pm

At a race today, I saw an older man running in some funny looking shoes. They looked like oversized shoes or pillow shoes. I don't know. It's killing me. I have to know what the are.

This was a trail run if that makes a difference. I've never seen them before. I've looked all over the internet. What are they used for? What's the purpose of them?

Looked like a slipper but instead of Homer Simpson it was a running shoe.



Has anyone seen this shoe?

A lady at work does the same thing. Not as thick as the clowns, but just as fake. She's a ginger, so it makes it even worse!!

That's it!! I'll tell you they look HUGE on feet. It's so weird! My wedge shoes (pictured) have less sole than these and mine are a 5" heel! WTF? The Case of the Odd Shoe PCHIC1-9673913t242x313
