I watched a YouTube video a while ago where a professional shoemaker cuts this thing apart and discovers that it's actually a pretty darn well made piece of footwear. Like, quality materials and good construction and everything.

All other ridiculous aspects of these boots aside, at least it's well made.

Yes - that's the one. Really cool channel if you're into shoes and boots, if you just like to see how things are made

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not into shoes and boots, but that guy has thuroughly described why I hate some shoes, why I like some, and which models to avoid or seek. He's a shoe scientist! Everyone that seeks function and quality should watch some of his videos.

This video? The image in the post looks like a knockoff though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yep! That's the one! What a great channel!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

This video?

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

The legit ones or this knockoff version?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The video show the deconstruction of the legit ones. The name of the channel is Rose Anvil

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Rose Anvil's channel does a pretty good job at holding footwear companies feet - or should I say "shoes" - to the fire. I do feel conflicted with some of his opinions on leather vs other eco-friendly options, though.

They are guaranteed to make the wearer « brave and gentle and wise » too!

Those Astro Boy boots have got to be super uncomfortable

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Lol, I got the Astro Boy theme stuck in my head just looking at these.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You dont like pools of sweat around your toes? Weirdo

New boot goofin

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Perfect for my sexy Strong Bad Halloween costume.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can find the hype beast version on reselling sites for ~$250 USD. The shoes made from Mschf, called the big red boot. There’s also a crocs version.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That last sentence makes me feel actually sick

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

In all honesty idk why, I don’t know why I prefer the crocs, they embrace the stupidness of it .

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Lol. Random Seinfeld quote.

Mfin Megaman shoes

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The boots reminded me of this show:

I also first misremembered the name as "nobby" which sounds like a euphemism for something in particular

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

They are inspired by Astro Boy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Look like pipette bulbs.

90% of this URL is tracking. I’m not even kidding: it has 539 characters as opposed to 53: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005920960538.html

It is more than a basic graphical game on Linux: https://youtu.be/9_n6CBoEZwg?t=8m9s

There is a lot of sus shit, including gps-id and scm-url. Probably nothing to do with precise location and scams but why would they name it that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Because that's probably just what it is lol

Nah it’s from Mschf, the big red boot.

The brands known for making ridiculous things, like they made the shoes with a drop of blood in them and WD-40 scented cologne.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not a fan of the big red boot, but I’ve loved a few of their other subversive designs. I just copped their latest Reebok Omnizone with pump bubbles all over the shoes and absolutely love them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm happy you love em, but I'm ngl, I wouldn't even think about wearing those

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

IMO 99% of the shoes I see for sale in stores these days are ugly as sin. All the expensive designer men's shoes look like they belong on circus clowns and I absolutely don't get what happened to everyone to just accept this shit. How am I the only one that thinks all these shoes look fucking horrible? Plus a ton of the expensive shoes now have shit for padding in the soles so you are forced to buy insole inserts to even wear them without being in pain. What happened to good shoes?!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Good shoes no longer allowed
