I think it was Linda who told me, several years ago, then Ceku reminded me recently, that ancient Chinese wisdom advises against giving someone you love a pair of shoes as a gift. The superstitious belief is that if you do, that person can run away from you. It sounds …

Somehow or another I missed these shoe-techy “Vacuum Shoes” that Electrolux had unveiled over a year ago. Looking like some sort of mutated low galoshes, the motor that powers the vacuum shoe is housed in the sole - hence the astronaut boot look. I wonder if they’re thinking of competing …

Uh, yes. First of all this is definitely NSFW (Not safe for work) and contains loads of profanity. You’ve been warned.

Liam Sullivan’s viral “Shoes” YouTube video ended up winning a People’s Choice award in the “favorite user-generated” category. We might add that the humorous hit with over 11 million views …

A shoe film directed by and starring Yvonne. Camera work by Laura.

Yes, these were edible. Originally exhibited at the Winkleman Gallery in 2003, these oversized Licorice Shoes by NY artist Andy Yoder remind us why “eat” rhymes with “feet”. They were apparently based on his memory of his father’s black wingtips and grandmother’s ever-present black licorice candy cache. Eating the entire …

Hooray, hooray. Let’s hear it for Shoe PR stunts. These are all the rage now and they certainly give me something meaty to post about on Shoe-n-Tell. The latest involves London’s Harrods department store which hired an actual live Egyptian cobra in order to guard their $120,000 Rene Caovilla jewel …

Here is some correspondence between Endless.com and me regarding a delivery I should have received last Friday, August 17. Thanks to Endless.com for their prompt and courteous, excellent customer service. I also got a call from DHL today for clarification on my address so I must commend them for trying …

Yep. This would make a great April’s Fools joke or post on The Onion, wouldn’t it? The problem is that it’s true. In a publicity stunt move that’s sure to set other designer shoe outlets scrambling to suck up to the post office, Saks Fifth Avenue opened their new shoe …

I just got Our Love to Admire, the new CD by Interpol. So you might be thinking out loud, “What kind of fool actually buys CDs anymore?” Well, the kind that is me! I’m also the kind of person to pay attention to lyrics, especially when they refer to shoes, …

Sometimes a picture is worth a billion words.

I hesitated about posting this for a split second. But the sharply dressed dude in the photo who seems to have confused going to work with ET flying across a full moon looked so darn HAPPY that I figured there must be …

Just in case you just can’t get enough Katamari Damacy, someone’s put them on shoes so you can show off how your gaming habits are taking over your life. Man, why didn’t I think of making these. The white canvas shoes feature 24 different colorful Katamari “Cousins” and have black …

Geez, I know hardly anything about the Onitsuka Tiger Injector DX shoe - it’s a street shoe that’s been modeled after the classic “direct injection” football (that’s soccer to us Americanites) shoe they pioneered in 1972. Looks sort of like a spaceman shoe to me. Onitsuka Tiger is …

Whoops, I had meant to post this earlier in the week. So - you think you have big feet, do you? No, you don’t. Whoever wears this shoe created for the 2008 Olympics has the largest stompers in the world. Measuring 2m long and weighing almost …

I know what I want to be for Halloween. A centipede. I’ve got part of the costume already — a hundred pairs of shoes!

Ever have one of those days where you’re so tired that your feet feel like they’re dragging along the ground like huge tanks? I think the guy that designed this Shoe Tank might sympathize with you. The way it’s riveted together reminds me of those old civil war …
