A collection of high fashion casual street shoes that use art lithographed tin plate bonded to man-made breathable and flexible materials. They would have a cool, metallic finish with bright future retro artwork reminiscent of '50s tin robots and car toys. Some could have lights or wind up keys.-- wombat, Nov 24 2003 Check out those shoes http://www.neatstuf...ts/wu-astronaut.jpg [wombat, Oct 05 2004] For some reason, I like these better...? http://www.physics....s/images/klaatu.jpg [Klaatu, Oct 05 2004] Bad metal shoes http://www.willjackson.co.uk/scimu.htmNot very comfortable these [wombat, Oct 05 2004] you're *all* heart, tin man +1
with the proviso, they don't hurt your feet!-- po, Nov 24 2003 Strangely, I like this...-- galukalock, Nov 24 2003 I'm seeing mine as a pair in bright yellow and red with big white numbers on them. (Don't know why numbers -- just seemed to fit: kinda like thunderbirds meets bowling shoes). I'd want mine slightly pre-rusted to give that really austhentic retro look.
Winding up the shoes should allow extra moving parts and maybe even a flint that throws sparks out the back the way some old tin robots do.
Strangely, I like this too...
Where can I order? (read: please bake this!)-- not_only_but_also, Nov 25 2003 I'm thinking Campbell's soup or Heinz baked beans.-- FarmerJohn, Nov 25 2003 [+] link-- Klaatu, Nov 25 2003 Not these. See link.-- wombat, Nov 25 2003 do you need a tin opener to get out of them?-- po, Nov 25 2003 random, halfbakery
