    Does wearing the red shoes shorten the likelihood of you surviving to your next birthday? #startrek

    I hear that if you buy the red ones you have to pay cash.

    I don't know, $50.00 for shoes at Payless seems over priced, though I admit I haven't been there in a while. #startrek

    Do I really need to give someone a reason to beat me up??? Or make them think I'm retarded. NO.... It's bad enough to be a nerd...but to dress like one and become a moving target!!! I thought we have learned from the past. We must blend in with the public. Yes, I know I know... I was at Star Trek and heard the horrific gasps as Vulcan was sucked away. I was one of them. But we must maintain our cover.
    For the love of God people.... it's too soon.

    I want the yellow ones.

    zomg must have silver sneaks! My husband will be so embarrassed and I DON'T CARE.

    I bet they even make them in men's sizes so I don't have to wonder if they'll carry mine. BLISS. #startrek

    I wouldn't recommend the red ones unless you want to get hit by a car crossing the street, or some other accident. #startrek

    @Go Like Hell Machine: I got hit by a car crossing the street once. I was downtown and crossing with the little WALK light and everything, and I wasn't wearing anything objectionable. I'll take my chances.

    the driver was very upset that I might have hurt his car too #startrek

    @Alasdair5000: They're available throughout the Federation.
    But you'll have to translate the arbitrary American shoe sizes into metric (or are shoe sizes part of the English measurement system?) #startrek

    As with all G.I. Joe toys, the only proper way to use these shoes is to keep them in their original packaging and threaten bodily harm to anyone who tries to wear them.

    Would it kill them to release Back to the Future II-style shoes? I mean, how many GI Joe shoes to they expect to sell, and compare that to all the people who would gladly fork over a hundred dollars to look like Marty McFly. Bah.

    Oohh, I like how all the six eyelets the shoelaces run trough are different shapes: triangular, hexagonal, stars, regular round, etc.

    It really adds some character to the shoes imho.
