Well, I’ll add these to the list of shoes that need to be doused in gasoline and set on fire, right before crocs. Also, does this person not was his/her feet? They look dirty to me.
My gut reaction was: “Look what they did to a perfectly good pair of Chucks!”
Then: Tom Hanks did the same thing with the shoes he got off the dead guy in “Cast Away”.
And the price brought this: By the way, I paid $40 for a brand new pair, never been worn. They still reeked of that new shoe smell and the sweat of the children who made them at the factory.
It looks like she melted off the rubber part that is connected to the tongue. Lazy bitch.
I pay 40 dollars for some destroyed shoes you got at some thrift store for probably around 2 dollars. You make them even trashier and less functional, slap on some God-awful shoelaces that aren’t the correct length, and give me the option of bedazzling them for free.
When did this occur to you that this probably wasn’t a good idea? Oh yeah, never.
Oh, wow. I have some boots with a broken heel and some Mary Janes with a torn strap, and I totes need some quick cash. BRB, off to break them…er, “remake” them into “custom” shoes. I’ll be posting on Etsy soon, if anyone’s interested. I’ll even price them at $39.99, a BARGAIN.

Clearly I’m missing out on a very lucrative business opportunity here….
I just picked up a pair of brand new Chuck Taylor’s at the Converse outlet for $15. I can spend a couple of bucks on a micky of vodka, roll a doob, get my party on, take scissors to the shoes, and still come out ahead!
….mind you, i’d have to wait a week to list them on Etsy, on account of the fact that I shaved my legs this morning and all.
Excuse me, but did something attack your shoes and bite off the front bits? And don’t the laces hurt the top of your feet when you walk? Are you trying to raise money to buy yourself some socks? Really the mind boggles.
I suppose if you want to go for a quick jog after getting a pedicure…a $40, one hour pedicure, that is…
The thing that bothers me most is the fact that anyone with $40 could go buy a knock off pair of chucks and hack them up easily, and still have money left over for beer. There is no skill involved here.
Hand to god, back in the 90′s MTV actually had directions on how to make these on some show about summer looks. Even then (at the ripe old age of 9) I thought they were heinous.
Sweet deal! You can get these for a cigarette? In my neighbourhod, they usually run about a cigarette and a case of empties. I think I need to shop around a bit more.
As an avid and long time lover of Chucks, I have to say, this is truley an abomination…..
Also….What is with the gnarly feet theme lately? Between this and the Dr. Schols sandal talons. Don’t people realize that no one wants to buy shoes from their cheesy feet?
I am stupefied, just stupefied… I was going to try to say something not so awful & throw in an aside about the dinosaur converses I had as a child (they had tyrannosaurus prints on the soles, damn it!)… But I have no ability to put a shine on this shit.
Don’t try to sell them — just throw them away… or bury them.
#46 buhbyebirdie – I remember that! I think it was some pretty well known designer too, only I can’t remember his name, so, not too well known I guess. Oh well.
Okay I am sorry but his only listing on his profile is favorite materials and those are duct tape and safety pins. Why didn’t he list garbage because that is the only materials I see here. Garbage on hobbit feet.

I can’t think of anything worse than wearing Chucks without socks.
I can
chucks without socks AND a “Happy Fortune Cookie Necklace” made of plastic and rubber around your neck.
July 15, 2010 at 4:35 pm
I wouldn’t even pay $40 for them intact. They are USED SHOES.

Oh, and what’s the point of those poor Chuck Taylor’s being maimed like this?

Maybe taking a picture of your filthy feet in the customized shoes you are trying to sell is not the best idea.

July 15, 2010 at 4:44 pm
And, those don’t look like they even fit. They look dirty, and those laces look like you got them out of the hot topic dumpster.
July 15, 2010 at 4:48 pm
I like the description of one of his other items, “Happy Fortune Cookie Necklace”:
“Good luck, in plastic and rubber.”
That could be the next ad campaign for Trojans
July 15, 2010 at 4:48 pm
I can’t think of anything worse than wearing Chucks without socks.
…Wait, yes I can. These. Those shoes are pretty expensive to start with! Whyyyyyy :<
July 15, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Unless there’s someone on Etsy with a fetish for old tennis shoes I’m pretty sure these won’t sell.
July 15, 2010 at 4:51 pm
‘Studding optional’ Pass on that , K?
Please keep that filthy stud locked up in a barn , bound in duct tape or whatever it takes to ‘keep it together’ and away from us.
July 15, 2010 at 4:55 pm
*sigh*. I saw that pic and thought “How the hell did someone get a picture of my cankles to photoshop into these horrific used shoes?”
July 15, 2010 at 4:56 pm
I’d like to hear more about the studding, please. Will the stud still do his job if you have really ugly feet? How much is the stud fee?
July 15, 2010 at 4:56 pm
Yeah, no.

Her feet look ready to bust out of them like the Incredible Hulk
July 15, 2010 at 5:16 pm
He should have went all the way with laces that tie around the ankle, obviously. Then he could also call it part of the gladiator sandal trend!
(I refuse to acknowledge that this is a woman. Any woman would know to shave before taking pictures of pasty white legs.)
July 15, 2010 at 5:18 pm
Pot heads shouldn’t play with scissors.
July 15, 2010 at 5:30 pm
Really? Just… REALLY?!
Custom-made? Buying something and hacking the fuck out of it is not “custom”.

I like my chucks “uncut”.
July 15, 2010 at 6:16 pm
In this one instance, I think I prefer he’d have stuck his dick in it.

Gawsh, the toenails don’t even match the shoes… how tacky.
July 15, 2010 at 7:31 pm
These look like regulation Chucks- perfect for those challenging dumster diving competitions.

July 15, 2010 at 7:53 pm
just needs a fly and it’d be fine art!
July 15, 2010 at 8:22 pm
I will opt for the studding to detract from the obvious dirty hobbit feet. I bet the guy behind Target doesn’t have studding on his!

This is the second pair of Fred Flintstone feet I have been seen today.
July 15, 2010 at 10:40 pm
I’d only buy these if I wanted to be fucked one final time before committing suicide, then I’d hang myself with the laces.

Wow…I had a pair of sneakers just like those! I was mowing the lawn and my feet got too close to the blade.
Mine ended up being red too.
But, she’s got toes, I’m envious

I mean, there’s almost no sole on the black pair. She just can’t be serious. Time for Etsy to put some quality controls in place.
