Sold as a single shoe in a 1 litre bottle, or a pair of shoes in a 2 litre bottle.
People will shit trying to figure out "why?" anyone would do this.

Oh, my, god. The new laxative! Anorexics and old people will love it! BUN |
|

Yeah, I think I'm with [po] on this one. BUN |

It's already starting to work its magic on [pa've]. |
|

[Pa've], dude, are you shitting yet? |

//How do you tie the laces? //
Knitting needles, patience and a very steady hand. It could be a new 'executive toy'. |

New Reenshoes, guaranteed to stay dry in any weather. |
|
| |
Is there any liquid in the bottle? Pickled sneakers? |
|
| |
It's like the Caramilk secret. |
|
| |
..pssst!....What's the Caramilk secret? |
|
| |
Do the shoes have some kind of rigging-like structure that can be erected by the pull of a string? |
|
| |
I can't tell you. Their spys are everywhere. |
|
| |
WTF!?
<clenches; shuffles off to loo> |

It's certainly a really interesting way of selling footwear. Certainly would be a nice promotional tool for a new brand. |

<Cheeks puff out ... eyes widen and redden ... nostrils flare ... spokesperson peeps at bottleneck> "Hey! Is that sole?" |

No, I'd be trying to figure out how anyone would do this. Tell me how and I'll take away this fishbone. |

[baconbrain] - Plastic bottle: use memoryform plastic, heat plastic bottle until elastic, open up neck, insert shoe, cool bottle. Glass bottle: remove base of bottle while glass is still hot and pliable, cool bottle while leaving base heated, insert shoe, press bottle to hot base and fuse. |

Using those fancy manipulator arms for keyhole surgery, a good cobbler could make a shoe inside a bottle. S/He'd just need some training on how to use the arms. |

Annoyingly, after reading the "There was an old lady" starting I was so convinced it would be a limerick that I read it three times thoroughly trying to figure out how "thought" could rhyme with "head". |
|

Well, I wrote one while in school (creative writing class) |

There was a young penguin in drag,
Who swore he was not a real fag;
"But ice cubes are kinky,
And dresses are slinky,
And girl penguins just make me gag". |
|
| |
Back to the shoes: Does the cobbler get a wee cobbling stand in the bottle? |
|
| |
Oh, and a liter bottle would have a size 43 shoe, but a quart bottle would have a 10-1/2. |

While walking on beach a man finds a shoe in a glass bottle on the tideline. Seeing a message in the shoe he breaks open the bottle to read: "Ha!, now no one will believe you found a shoe in a bottle" (+) |

... and that, class, concludes today's lesson on how to write a parable. |
|
| |
+ I just added the extra bun to bring this over the top.
Bottled shoes, gloves and undies... |
|
| |
Cloth shoes such as sneakers would be easier to get into a bottle and maybe out. It could be a new way to market sneakers and recycle old bottles. |
