i would LOVE to see someone walk on the beach in bodega bay with these on, it would be like you had power over all the birds in the world...then they would poop on you

In Toronto with our pigeon population, not to mention the evil squirrels that mug you at lunch... you'd be shoeless within the hour!! But worth it for the cute little chickadees and sparrows... hmmm, maybe if I can find non evil squirrel he could have a snack too...

LMAO... "Whatever you do, don't wear these to Bodega Bay."

I live 5 minutes from there and that's not too far from the truth... (/flees from seagulls)

WOW!! Bird seed shoes! Fool the birds, get pooped on!

Catman Dude =^-.-^=

please to spalin-
"Bodega bay"

The movie, The Birds, by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Tippi Hedren, set in Bodega Bay, CA !

Now the song is stuck in my head... MAKE IT STOP....

rissu
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 11:35 AM

Dare I saw someone is footing the bill for lunch? (runs away)

DanS
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 11:36 AM

ok
i never realized how RIDICULOUS that movie was until i saw it again recently on AMC. couldnt
make it through the whole thing.

liz
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 11:39 AM

That is just so *WRONG*...

But funny.

acelightning
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 11:40 AM

Ah, The Birds is not ridiculous, great Hitchcock film!

These shoes are ridiculous though. I would never make it out of my frontyard with all the skwrrlees and chippymunks abount.

rissu
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 11:43 AM

Feeding the birds with your shoes is okay. But you're just asking fer trouble when the evil squirrels who want to rule the world coming running at your shoes!

Sprock

DanS-
I just read that-
'smacks you on head with rolled up newspaper'.

liz
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 11:47 AM

I tinks I seed a funny picture. Can't wait for the crows and jays to arrive.

(also picturing german frauline walking down cobblestone with skwerls attached to feets)

Kiragirl
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 11:47 AM

OK, what is more disturbing is the fact that if you click the link - it's a man, sitting on a stool wearing the shoes, not a hairy legged chick anyway.

Carrie
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 11:51 AM

Is that a woman with very hairy legs or a man with dainty socks and shoes?

Pepe
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 11:52 AM

I can only imagine what it would be like if it's designed as a hat! :P

chun
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 11:56 AM

Hate to say it but that's for the birds.

luvinmalssomuch
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 11:57 AM

how 'bout a (dare I say it?) cod-piece

Kiragirl
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 11:57 AM

Five minutes after this picture was taken, three skwerls had taken this dude's feet off.

Kara
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 12:00 PM

German skwerls are kewt (and not nearly as proliferous as they are in the US/Canada/UK). They have kewt little tufts on their ears.

I can see the slogan now:

That seems really ill-advised in a place with mockingbirds.

Zeki
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 12:56 PM

puts a whole new spin on it
with it being a guy and all-
i just think that is so very,
hmmm, how to put it...
Not something my husband would wear EVER.

liz
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 01:03 PM

"Ja, ja. Ze fut tastes gut!"

ThreeCatNight
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 01:14 PM

These shoes give tasteless a whole new meaning.
Just BTW - not all German Fräuleins have hairy legs. In fact, most of us prefer to shave. But if you wear something like that or Birkenstocks, hairy legs might accessorize better. Ugh.

Cara
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 01:37 PM

Um, hello peoples, did you look at the ridiculous picture of the guy looking at his bird-foodie feet? OMG!!! LOL

Juliagoolia
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 02:08 PM

I can't believe none of you'se can reads!

I said it was a guy for goldarn sakes.

Carrie - disturbed

Oops, Carrie, you're right. Still, whaaaattt the heck!
He's all wearing girlie socks and highwater pantalones!

dem shoes is gee.

liz

Those shoes may not last for long

ask-god-a-question.com
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 03:01 PM

Uh, that is Spiegel Online (a German magazine's website) and not Spiegel Shoes (part of the American catalog company). The shoes seem to be designed by some guy named Arnold van Bezooyen for his Material Stories industrial design...thing. His name is right there next

Narcissus
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 04:00 PM

so can you get the shoes reseeded once they have been snacked on??!

colpuz
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 04:00 PM

Definitely interesting shoes but I'd hate to be that guy's pants, legs or socks. Cute as birds are (and I've got a pet bird) they poo all over the place.

gay gay gay

imgay
 |  Oct 15, 2007 at 05:29 PM

the movie "the birds" is in bodega, ca
bodega bay is just over-run with birds who will stop at nothing to get food, just try to have a snack on the beach...

Has anyone else read /Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close/ by Jonathan Safran Foer?

"What about a birdseed shirt?"
