    As much as I love shoes, I dont like these. And it hurts me NOT to like shoes.

    I also see NO humping or breasts here. Sad, sad day. #papershoes

    @Curves: I like the idea but not the aesthetic design they've done. I'm a big fan of shoes myself, at least from an observer standpoint... but I must concur, these aren't very sexy or appealing. Nevertheless, hats off to the paper folder who managed to figure this one out. #papershoes

    @PopandLocke: I dont care for how they look and it would be hard to walk with all those angles jutting out. It doesnt fit into the locomotion of the way women walk in high heels.

    You know, THE walk. #papershoes

    So, rock still beats paper... and generally we walk on substances made from or similar to rock, right? This already seems like kind of a Bad Idea, and that's before contemplating the implications of rain and puddles... #papershoes

    @Synthfilker: Is that how you play it?
    We used to always stab people with the scissers, hit them with the rock, and paper always lost because nobody really cared about papercuts when you have puncture wounds and internal hemorrhaging to deal with... #papershoes

    @Kaiser-Machead: Actually, it says a lot about our culture. It could just have easily been a shot from an Origami nature documentary. In today's day and age, every natural reproductive act can be construed as porn. Where do you think all those cute little paper swans come from? They're not just lovingly crafted by a supreme being. They're the result of a tender moment shared by... wait, no, in this case, it is the supreme being thing. Nevermind. #papershoes

    I've never been a fan of that style of shoe. I guess it's a basketball type shoe? They look retarded to me. In any case, I'll take a nice pair of Lakai or DVS instead.

    @Dr. Evil Genius: dislike of stupid looking shoes =/= lack of shoe knowledge.


    I just happen to think basketball style shoes look like clown shoes.


    I do however, know plenty about EVA molded uppers, rubber gummed out soles, triple stitched rubber molded toe caps and impact absorbing heel pads. kthx

    @bobojuice: Basketball shoes look like basketball shoes because they give you more ankle support. I've twisted my ankle a couple of times playing basketball with regular sneakers.
