Sh….you know the rest
During my spell in the motherland I took a break from staring at the feet of people around me, scouring for cool footwear.
But even if I had spent every minute of every day in Her Majesty’s kingdom examining shoes, I still wouldn’t have found anyone wearing a pair of these beauties.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Of course the irony with these shoes is that they’re made by Puma (a genus of big cat which includes the Cougar), but the skin pattern is actually taken from that of a Leopard (a species under the completely seperate Panthera genus)!.
You couldn’t make it up.
Shoe Tuesday- where knowledge begins and the fun never stops.
If you liked that, you might like...


they’re actually quite nice Swiss!
I’ve seen the horsehair Nikes . . . and I passed.
Are you wearing these abominable things Swiss?
Neal and I took a picture in the Pittsburgh airport for you. Turned the corner and we both sort of stopped and looked at each other and went . . . . James.
I’ll have to find it.
Top marks for these mate. A mighty fine pair.
A cat is a cat is a cat. Now dog fur is in this year
I am not wearing them Scarletti, just observing. Think I’d be tempted if I saw them in the shops though, wouldn’t you Peter?
Dog fur, horse hair, seal feathers etc. etc. are all false dawns. The future is Leopardskin Brogues.
Kristi’s comment should have read “Neal took a picture in the Pittsburgh Airport for you.”
Community property Neal, community property.
Do they purrr or ROAR when you walk in those?
Leopard fur Pumas, Irony?… No, I think it’s pure Genus!
Ha ha, no no, stop, it’s too funny!!…
O.K. I’ll stop now…. really
