Wasn`t really thinking about where I could wear them

Ocean World...get the Orcas really worked up.

nutcracker, these will be the toast of any nightclub. Just remember to lift your feet of the table when the bouncers pass you.

Maybe with a Velvet Dinner Jacket?

Very cool BTW

And why would you? I dream of a stingray wholecut! Where them wherever the hell you like, man!

Yes, the idea of a louche dinner suit arrangement is very entertaining. Make a few monocles fall out at the opera. But I think also you could wear these with pretty much anything casual. As a man who wears a velvet sports jacket as day to day scruffy wear, I could see these fitting into all sorts of scenarios.

You have had the nuts (no pun intended) to buy a truly awesome pair of shoes beyond the imagination of 99.9% of people (i.e. everyone who's not here). So get out and inflict them on the world as much as possible, I say.

Good to be assured that stingray skins are naturally water resistant

Or else I`d be spending all night picking up the beads

thanks. Yeah, was thinking more as a cool alternative to patent shoes for formal parties? (like I ever attend one.... )

Yeah, I guess that is the attitude I need Considering how Stingray skin can last for 100yrs or more, I know the shoes could wait for my other nut to drop

Hnnnnng!!!

+1
most awesome shoes I've seen. I only wish I had the balls to wear them.

Even if they are extremely cool a shoe like this is quite far down on my "to buy list". Even if i had an extra 10 000 SEK burning in my pocket

And most important, i´m not cool enought to wear them.

I think if you're ballsy enough to join the MTO above, you're instantly cool enough to wear them!

Alas, I'm on a shoe diet, and I'm not sure they'd fit me. But...maybe...

So you´re telling me coolness can be bought? I´m afraid it´s going to hit back if one steps outside ones limits of coolness
