I watched a YouTube video a while ago where a professional shoemaker cuts this thing apart and discovers that it’s actually a pretty darn well made piece of footwear. Like, quality materials and good construction and everything.
All other ridiculous aspects of these boots aside, at least it’s well made.
Rose anvil?
Yes - that’s the one. Really cool channel if you’re into shoes and boots, if you just like to see how things are made
I’m not into shoes and boots, but that guy has thuroughly described why I hate some shoes, why I like some, and which models to avoid or seek. He’s a shoe scientist! Everyone that seeks function and quality should watch some of his videos.
This video? The image in the post looks like a knockoff though.
Yep! That’s the one! What a great channel!

Good bot
The legit ones or this knockoff version?
The video show the deconstruction of the legit ones. The name of the channel is Rose Anvil
They are guaranteed to make the wearer « brave and gentle and wise » too!
Rose Anvil’s channel does a pretty good job at holding footwear companies feet - or should I say “shoes” - to the fire. I do feel conflicted with some of his opinions on leather vs other eco-friendly options, though.

Those Astro Boy boots have got to be super uncomfortable
Lol, I got the Astro Boy theme stuck in my head just looking at these.

Perfect for my sexy Strong Bad Halloween costume.
You can find the hype beast version on reselling sites for ~$250 USD. The shoes made from Mschf, called the big red boot. There’s also a crocs version.
That last sentence makes me feel actually sick
In all honesty idk why, I don’t know why I prefer the crocs, they embrace the stupidness of it .
Lol. Random Seinfeld quote.

Mfin Megaman shoes
The boots reminded me of this show:
I also first misremembered the name as “nobby” which sounds like a euphemism for something in particular
They are inspired by Astro Boy
Look like pipette bulbs.
Aren’t these Kanye boots?
Nah it’s from Mschf, the big red boot.
The brands known for making ridiculous things, like they made the shoes with a drop of blood in them and WD-40 scented cologne.
Not a fan of the big red boot, but I’ve loved a few of their other subversive designs. I just copped their latest Reebok Omnizone with pump bubbles all over the shoes and absolutely love them.
