FRIDAY CHALLENGE 08/16/13; THE CRAZY SHOE CHALLENGE

[RogerP]

Thank you, Roger! Now, the question is whether it's a mark of honor or dishonor to win this competition . . . .

It could be spun either way.

But I'll go with honour - it's still a shiny trophy for the display case.

 

[Holdfast]

Also I voted for PTDubs. Remember, a vote for PTDubs is also a vote for whatever zany challenge he'll choose.

This. This times a million. No, a squillion. There is no alternative. PTW FTW.

Hey, I got a nice innovative idea for a challenge as well. Don't disregard us newbies...:

[NOBD]

I ran. Am I still in time?

 

[bernoulli]

Certainly a mark of honor. You should wear it with proud! Crazy shoes are the most fun part of dressing up...

[archibaldleach]

Tir, Crusty and PTWilliams for me.

 

[mrjester]

DC, for sure.

 

[Tirailleur1]

DC should win this .

 

[unbelragazzo]

I would have voted for clapeyron, but with him doing something French instead of competing I voted for T. Sigh. I always vote for T. One! More! Week! One! More! Week!

DC's look was solid, no doubt, but Señor Crust's Governor of Texas look was the killer. Maybe some extended time in the Lone Star State is required to appreciate it, but it is a sterling example of the breed.

Those would have to be tiger-striped or lime green to partake.

Or an exotic skin running shoe may win. Bespoke G&G.

I featured these shoes a while back on a SF thread, hand painted Allen Edmonds to match the speckled jacket. I've worn this outfit a few times in the wild. The shoes are at least noticeable in a dark nightclub scene.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Before voting I need clarification: Do the spots glow in the dark?

(I own a pair of purple shoes, but they're captoe balmorals and so dark that they look burgundy, so they really wouldn't be competitive with the entries I've seen here. Well done, gents!)

 

[in stitches]

crusty for the win, plus a voat for unbel bc i love GG stingray. crusty deserves the win here, imo.

I can't believe Spoo sat-out a Shoe Throwdown.

He doesn't need it man! These challenges are like the Top 40 and Spoo is like Pink Floyd. While everyone is scrambling around trying to impress a handful of admirers to win a weekly contest, Spoo is off somewhere cooking up a sartorial equivalent to Dark Side of the Moon.

Hey, why isn't Coldsalmon on the voting list? I want to put one on him, Fivefingers with a suit is the most Pythonesque option on this thread.
