WHAT ARE THOSE
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_pointy_boots
I'd argue it's a toned down version of these. Go to any mostly Mexican party/club, and you see these.
…elongating the toe of normal boots by as much as 5 feet (1.5 m)
That’s excessive.
lol that’s the best name they could come up with for them?
It's only worse with seagulls. I saw a cool big speckled seagull once and decided to google how it's called. It's called "big speckled seagull". A small gray seagull would be called a "small grey seagull". All the other animals are usually called something cool, like if you see a big beaver, it's "Johnson's beaver", or an eagle, and it's called a "southern nesting eagle".
Then a fucking seagull is a fucking seagull.
Great for kicking someone in the sphincter from the front
Must be how they got their name
A person of culture, I see.
Reminded me of a Finnish rock group called Leningrad Cowboys. They were big over here I think when I was a kid at least.
Then you slowly follow the shoes up the uncannily thin and tall figure to be greeted with a sharp toothed smile, attached to the face of a tight skinned yet aged man "helllooo, pity about the loss of another" he states.
However if the deceased has these shoes its your duty to take them
Oh what's this conveniently placed hole in the ground that I can push this dude in?
Sometimes you need a little laugh when you're in mourning. People wearing ridiculous shit is actually a thing that helps
i think there's like a whole subculture around these shoes, no joke
edit - other people in thread explaining it better!
They look a lot like leeches.
