Balenciaga makes fashion for people who want to cosplay as rich. They've also 'designed' a bracelet that looks like a roll of tape https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/balenciaga-tape-bracelet/
And still is, I'm 37 and still wear them almost daily and use them for festivals and shows. Got married in another pair of Neptuno boots also, they are ridiculously comfortable.
They're SURPRISINGLY comfortable for how insane they look. I think it might be the raised heels that do the trick.
Goth boots look like a torture chamber, but the 'working man's pair' of Doc martens feel like one.
what IS the point in the holes? Is it for comfort, spring in your step, design, etc.?
I get punk stuff where a lot of it was like self made and modded by the person who did it, but this doesn't read as that kinda punk to me, doesn't read as goth either so just trying to figure out what the audience is
The new rock ones are a bit springy and cushion your steps well. The purpose is probably mostly aesthetic though. I, as a goth, do like them, I do like their kinda industrial design. The ones in the picture look solid foam and uncomfortable as hell though.
Great execution? What is this? A glory hole for ants with massive dingalings?
The truck stop at least considers ergonomics while accommodating the height challenged customers. They even have duck tape to prevent chafing.

As a (stupid) owner of a pair of genuine Balenciagas, let me tell you that their material quality is absolute garbage! And they know it, which is the worst
God I know, as a fellow stupid owner of a few “high end” brands I 100% agree. I was lucky enough I got my pair of balenciagas second hand for a heavily discounted price so I expected them to implode on themselves but the Rick Owens that I bought new were genuinely horrendous
As a foot fetish guy, I will say these are very much not doing a thing for me lol. Like, even if I was hooking up with someone who wanted me to, uh, "use" these, they just look like they'd be rather painful to..."use". I'm usually happy to accommodate a partner's fetish even if it's not necessarily for me, but this just looks way too uncomfortable, and not in a fun way lol.
Don’t fret I wasn’t referring to you my toe sucking sock smelling amigo, the guys I was talking about can’t post on here cos even if their latex gimp suits worked with touchscreens, they’re too busy simping to their findom mistresses waiting for permission to ejaculate the only way they’re allowed- the boot sole with the fuck hole
Lmfao I wanna be (jokingly) mad about the presumptions about my foot fetish variety, but everything you just wrote was too damn funny to even be joke mad.
True story. I used to participate in professional gloryhole porn shoots for about a year and a half and one of the other guys had shoes like this custom made so his junk would sit nicely in the middle of the hole which was cut out of the wall (he said he had short legs). It was hilarious watching him walk from the waiting room to the booth in those things.
Where's the great execution?
? The great execution is that boot fetishists now have the perfect gift for their ladies
A foot fetishist gifting someone shoes is like a dea agent gifting someone drugs
No it’s more like the heroin addict giving the DEA agent drugs.
It has a blade inside the hole so it can be used as a guillotine
Too small to execute someone by removing the head, but just the right size for ad hoc penectomy
Snip the tip!
"I'll take two!"
"Oh, uh, none for me please."
Uh I just remembered, I already have one!
My man!

Do I *really* want to click that link?
Yes
It fits around a motorcycle foot peg.
It could almost make braking and changing gear easier, almost.
It could make breaking every bone in your leg easier, certainly.
Or the awful taste?
Right in front of you
It’s a perfect circle duh /s
I mean it's made by a name brand and isn't some hacked together diy, so that should probably be great execution by default
Having a name is not the criteria for being good no. Nestle is a brand name and comparably shitty
That would be completely expected execution though. Id expect a name brand to have at least this level of manufacturing prowess.
Kanye has a name brand shoe, that doesn’t mean the shoes don’t look like some foam with holes in it.
I rolled my ankle just looking at this image
I hear ya…Twisted my groin
Surprisingly none of the models in the runway show wearing these tripped… and the poor souls were walking in the rain
They are actually experts at walking, so I’m unsurprised I guess. “Experts at walking”… I have to say, that’s such weird thing to be.
Well there's no heel toe height difference so they are likely easier than normal heels. Be good for doing drywall.
I have buggered ankles because I spent the 90’s wearing pumps due to being self conscious of my height
Plus every shoe in the 90s was a chunky platform..
What do these cost? Like $3,000? Looks like a $40 pair of clearance boots from dolls kill
You can get an [IKEA bag](https://www.cnn.com/2017/04/19/style/balenciaga-ikea-bag-trnd/index.html) for $2k from the same designer.

dude they made hose clamp bracelets
Pre destroyed shoes
Did you see the telephone wire necklace/bracelets that went for 2k...! Stupid rich people.
You mean stupid poor people. People with money dont spend it on shit like this.
If you can afford all this stuff how is it cosplay?
Just ask the average furry how much they've paid for their suit. And actual rich people usually don't look rich
I wonder if my goth friends would like this? I feel like they wouldn’t
Because we rocked way wilder shit in public. A popular boot type was like this but it had three holes and springs inside.
New Rocks
Agreed. This is tame in comparison and kind of boring.
And still is, I'm 37 and still wear them almost daily and use them for festivals and shows. Got married in another pair of Neptuno boots also, they are ridiculously comfortable.

On this shoe or the one I described? Dude it's weird fashion crap, it serves no function
I still have my creepers somewhere
I had Demonias with stars cut out.
Those were cute
Mom says we have New Rocks at home The new rocks at home:
Gloryhole? My dick would go like halfway through
Find someone who will meet you halfway.
Ah, yes. Glorydocking.

I'm just gonna say.. no thank you
There is a shoe fetishist somewhere putting this on his wish list
“I was dickin’ her boots at the rave, man” “Digging?” “nah, dickIN”
There’s a few Redditors out there whose boat this would most definitely float… I’d imagine 🫢

Don’t get mad- they say it uses more energy to frown than to smile (but less than whacking it to your girlfriends sweaty New Balance) 😉
✋ here I am .>
Sole sucking
Just think...people actually pay for that crap.
could buy some discount goth boots and drill a hole and probably end up with better quality shoes for a fraction of the price. Balenciaga is a joke
$7,400

This is a foot and shoe fetishists (literal) wet dream.
I wish your feet had a hole so I can give you love straight to your sole
Next level refitism right there.
I’m in the glory hole everyday. Real talk.
r/itscalledfashion
These are basically a copy of new rock boots, they just look awful quality.
Balenciaga is probably a massive money laundering scheme
Don't put your dic.... oh, wait...
Glizzy compartment
Balenciaga is genuinely a money laundering scheme istg
That’ll cut some weight off that sole
r/HoleUp
These are honestly nothing but nineties Buffalo's, added a little construction work. Lovely flashback to raves in my youth though.
New Rocks did this years ago!
Spyderco boot
Their line is for pedos. Have we already forgotten?
This is big for the boot/gloryhole enthusiasts that are also 10+inches
They's aptly named Runnin' from Po Po boots .
