THE WHEEZY SHOE

[newschooled]

So if you haven't seen Wheezy shoe yet, here it is. tweakfootwear.com/Shoes/the-wheezy-shoe/

My opinion: I won't buy DC's unless they're in the $30 discount bin. (And I like DC's!) As much as I love Wheezy, I'm not even close to shelling out $75 plus shipping for something that looks like it came from the children's isle of WalMart. Dissapointed face emoticon.

^But that's just me.

Discuss.

I like it a lot.

Or maybe I don't. Maybe I just like Craig a lot.


I very rarely buy merchandise from YouTubers... for the most part, they don't sell wearable merchandise. I really don't want the URL of their YouTube channel on my t-shirt. How tacky. The perfect merchandise is the kind that looks good in the eyes of everyone, but is recognized by someone who also watches that person. Unfortunately, it's incredibly rare that anyone produces that.

That being said, I was planning on buying these shoes before I even saw them. Buuuuut, $85? I don't think I can talk my parents into that. Christmas is coming up, but I've already asked for over $700 worth of presents. I feel like another $85, for SHOES, from some guy I watch on the Internet, would be pushing it. Not to mention, I don't even wear shoes. Flip flops all the way. Every day. Year round.


I like how they look, though. Maybe I'm just not familiar with the children's isle at Wal-Mart (who am I kidding? I definitely am xD), but I think they look great. They could certainly do with another color option, perhaps less boyish, though.

It's a shoe with a beard, can't get anything less boyish out of a shoe with a beard.

Anyway... I actually want the black ones. I see the "childrens" styal in the other ones because they're kinda colorful rather than a solid color but the black ones don't look bad at all. It's less obvious what the shoe is and most people, unless they're beard lovers, I don't think would even notice the shoe's design if you get the black ones.

The problem I have with buying shoes online is that shoe sizes are not universal so I don't feel comfortable buying shoes I can't try on first. Maybe if I could send them back and get a different size without being charged an additional fee I wouldn't mind but as it is I risk getting shoes that won't even fit.

The shoes I currently own that I ware on a day to day basis are 12s. I also have a pair of 13s in the closet that are dress shoes I haven't worn for at least 2 years. In some cases I can even fit into 11s still. Looking at the web site there are 4 sizes I may or may not fit into so there's a 75% chance that I'll end up getting shoes that don't fit me (either too small or too big) and a 25% chance that I'll get the right size first try.

My dad fits anywhere between 13 and 15 and the shoe size chart only goes up to 14 on the site. (good thing I didn't get as big as he is.)

Anyway... long story short, I want wheezy shoes but there needs to be a return policy so I can just send them back and get a different size if they don't fit.

They're awesome, but too pricey. :/

$75 + $25 (or more for Mexico Shipping) + $16 (import taxes) + $whatever the governments wants to steal from me = $120ish.

Nope.

I don't think I really like how they look. The brown ones could be a maybe, but the black ones just seem, well... lame... its just that they seem like "random shoes with random wheezywaiter references on them" instead of "Wheezy shoes!", know what i mean?

To be fair, I only wear converse, running shoes, and Flip flops in summer time. Which means those aren't really my style to begging with.

The price is not really a problem since i've been known to pay 200 bucks for shoes, but even if they were worth 15 bucks I wouldn't really want to buy them.

Speaking of youtubers stuff, the other day I saw someone with a red John Pizza t-shirt and wished I would have bought one...

So, who knows maybe this is another regrettable item I will eventually wish I had, but I doubt it.

BEHOLD: THE NEWSCHOOLED SHOE

[Ricky]

sexy shoe!

*buys one*
yea, just one... xP

If the Wheezy Shoe was less than $20 including all fees, I'd get it.

Otherwise, not worth it.

[IAMNTHOMAS]

I'm in the market for new shoes. That said, I'm not buying those shoes. For all we know those were produced by child labor! I'm not supporting child labor - I support Tom's Shoes!

[amon91]

They're ok, I'm just not a fan of leather altogether. For now Converse still has my money:

[newschooled]

I like my shoes thick and heavily padded. (Skating in thin shoes gets painful very quickly)

SPOILER: Click to show

*GLOBE Chet Thomas IV's FTW*

I can't do the thin converse style shoes. There's nothing to them...The Wheezy shoe seems to be no exception.

[Ferrrrrre]

I don't really like the WheezyWaiter and TBH I'm pretty dissappointed in how it looks.. I mean c'mon what's special about THE WHEEZY SHOE except for a bear image on the heel..

At least the Mythical Shoe had a plectrum-hiding thingy..

The problem with these shoes, is the fact that people expect way too much from it and most of the time it's just a normal, mundan shoe you can get everywhere with an extra feature..
Sure there must be more features Wheezy could have used?

Especially if he let the viewers come up with ides, okay; some idea might be over the top but THINK BIG is something I thought Craig would be into.. but no..

[/rant]

EDIT: okay, after watchign the video about the shoe (youtube was experiencing some problem earlier..)
I have to admit that; okay; there are a few Wheezy characteristics but not THAT obvious (subtle explosion, the beard tip, the alligators inside the shoe and you get a Wheezy bag.)

TWEAK Shoes make me sad

They dont have wide sizes

[Bokchoy67]

I would probably buy them for about 40 Dollars total. I would much rather waste my money on this.

[newschooled]

^THAT.

Is WIN.

Yeah. I wouldn't spend more for some shoes.

[robotdude]

The mythical shoe seemed ridiculous... It's way to covered in Rhett and Link related crap... At least Craig's shoe has the subtle decorations that relate to his videos and jokes... but it isn' t overloaded with crap... as for the price... the less money, the more crappy it's gonna be... to rob... if they were 20 dollars, they would be like wearing an old melon. Without socks.

I've never bought a shoe for $20 that lasted less than 1.5 years. $20 shoes are quite good. You are misinformed.

[newschooled]

Depends how you treat them. I've shredded $140 shoes in a month skating.

[Flappy]

I want a pair sooooooooooo bad! But $75 is just way too much!
