Kids of all ages like to express their individuality, so what better than a pair of shoes/trainers/sneakers that print your name or slogan wherever you walk?
The shoes would come supplied with an alphabet of plastic letters that could be clipped into the sole (the letters would be in mirror-reverse
to avoid a Homer Simpson-style "DOH!!!!" at the factory :-).
So, you could clip on your name eg 'STEVE' and 'SMITH' onto the your left and right shoes & wherever you went, your footprints would leave your mark - walking through muddy fields or snow, jumping in a puddle & then onto dry paving etc.

They may have a problem with your personalised shoes, though. [reap, Oct 04 2004]

Neat! Can you give it a bit more descriptive name, though? + (WTAGIPBAN) |
|

No, that was true. 'Wayfarers'. I had some, as a wee lad. There was a compass inside the right heel also. |

Yeah, I'm replying to some [po] said, and which has been deleted. She asked if the shoes with animal tracks actually existed, or were a hoax. |
|
| |
who deleted me? or was it a hoax? |

not exactly a method to win friends and influence people [seljefloyte] |

He may have done it accidentally. *You* may have done it accidentally! |

//shoes with animal tracks actually existed, or were a hoax//
Shoes with animal tracks were used to _create_ probably the biggest hoax of recent memory: Bigfoot. |

oh dear - no I did - see my name under yours? (with a date) - perhaps the original deletion was an accident after all :) |
|
| |
would it complicate matters still more if I said this was half-baked in Toy Story; Woody has Andy inscribed on the sole of his boot. |
|
| |
No, that was a hoax.
(Am I confusing [po] even more?) |
|
| |
no, I am not confused at all - tiddly but not confused :) |
|
| |
there was a hoax some years ago when big animal tracks OR the devil's footprints were discovered one wintry morning that went right through a village - though gardens and over walls and fences (through the snow) ?? |

What if your name is joe blogs, wouldnt you violate some sort of trademark or something. |
|

Maybe you could get NikeID to help in the bakeability of this. [link1] |
|
| |
Then again [link2] maybe not... :) |

I can see a 'World's Dumbest Criminals' episode featuring these in the future. |
