say a company made several pair of shoes with the image of your #1 favorite toy on them...but say they cost as much (or more than in some cases) buying the toy itself.

now say they would likely only be displayed, not worn, right alongside the toy.

which would you get? shoes or toy?

One the one hand-the toy is a sure thing-a nice addition to your collection, on the other, shoes 30 years from now, no one will believe that all those things on your shelf also had a line of shoes modeled after them.

This is not a hypothetical question:

and the UK ones are even stranger and more wonderful!

Maybe this is just a girlie question anyway, but I know there are some sneaker fans on here who would flip if a zag showed up on a nike, right?

I should note, that I am a sucker for a kitten heel.

the shoes are hot! i like the Dixies best

I knew I could count on my fabulous metro pal in LA!

you need to look good for nerd quake

scott took me in no less than 10 shoe stores when I stayed with him. totally metro.

I vote Toys only.

I have a pair of TOY2R Adidas that are just sitting in their box in my closet.

i voted for shoes but the true option is.....buy both!

I vote toy.I have been wearing the same pair of shoes for at least 3 years,everytime I think of buying a new pair of shoes I see a toy I want..

go for the shoes

pink polk dots fucking rule

If you don't buy them Lisa will be wearing them at SDCC this year.

Without a doubt, toys.

I have 3 pairs of shoes, 1 pair of cowboy boots and some dog slippers. I have tons of toys. Since it was asked "what would YOU do?" I went toys.

I had to go for toys, but if the UK store doesn't do International or rips on shipping just drop me a line.

HMS . . . metro . . . . . . . that guy's like an onion! . . .

buy both. get whichever will be harder to find later first. display them side by side.

toys...Not much of shoe collector. I have 3 pairs only and flip flops which I wear almost everyday.

I see the site is called 'irregularchoice,' but 'irregular' hardly seems to cover these - ! Looks like a cross between a shoe and a doorstop.

they make some really (really) weird shoes. I have some. They kind of "walk" the line between art and shoe. haha. get it!?

buy the shoes and display! i have a lot of sneakers that came out to compliment my toy collection... kaws bapestas in my kaws collection / futura sb's in my futura collection / pushead etc... you get the idea. spend that money girl you only live once!!!

Melissa has a green pair of those for display only.

If you ask me, they are butt-ugly 80's shoes with a beautiful blythe slapped on em'..

Girls look good in irregular choice. this is a fact. I say get both.

I likes my shoes and I likes my toys, but never shall the twain meet.

My girlfriend has stacks of irregular choice shoes in her closet. She would love these too! You should definitely get a few pairs.

for the record there are some bootleg astroboy dunks that look so cool I would buy to display.

i have two pairs of pushead dunks. one to wear and want for safe keeping.

Wow really? I mean, I get it and I don't get it.

Shoes are to WEAR and I tear mine the fuck up. But than again, I collect toys so..........I get it a little.

I can appreciate clothing/fashion as art kinda, but for it to be FULLY appreciated, to me, it needs to be worn not displayed. But hey, I have a box of cereal I'll never open and a few cans of pop too that are all just for display.
