Things I didn’t know I need

Spittens · 2021-04-20T14:23:30+00:00

These are giving me goth-y supervillian vibes and I want them ....

Flums666 · 2021-04-20T14:25:34+00:00

From the article:

“Reviews of the shoes suggested such a girl would be “publicly displaying her vanity ... that her own good looks would encourage pursuit” and that the wise boy would give the spur-shod girl a wide berth “because of the unmistakeable evidence of spurs on the heart and probably the tongue.”

There’s a lot to unpack here...

Love these! But now I want sneakers with some sort of wolverine-esque retractable blades.

_mooness · 2021-04-20T15:25:36+00:00

Let’s bring these back ?

karabnp · 2021-04-20T17:01:14+00:00

I’m going to scour the internet, to find myself a pair in my size of this vintage glory...🤓

Watzoo · 2021-04-20T16:13:37+00:00

I hate the mindset behind it and I hate this is the solution instead of fines and jail time for harassment....

But I’m kind of loving the actual shoes. I’d wear these to a corporate meeting any day.

miss_peach94 · 2021-04-20T15:04:54+00:00

I'll take 5 pairs.

sweetnsaltyanxiety · 2021-04-20T15:21:12+00:00

Can I get a pair of these in hiking boots? Please and thank you.

offensive sex pests

The classy way to say LVM.

Rowbloks · 2021-04-20T15:37:45+00:00

These can too easily be taken off by the abuser and used against the woman, but I would happily buy the sneakers or boots version

Khentiamentiu42 · 2021-04-20T16:48:13+00:00

I wonder if you can get them in vintage stores there

Phoenix__Rising2018 · 2021-04-20T16:17:32+00:00

I love this!

Mella_20 · 2021-04-20T16:07:15+00:00

If I could have 3 of these in boot form that would be great

Connect_Chipmunk_691 · 2021-04-20T17:23:58+00:00

I've seen some modern shoes that I honestly thought looked pretty sweet for self-defense! Big chunky statement rings and damn near anything in your purse can be used as weapons! It's sad that we need to know this stuff. And even though I think self-defense is just wise I think it's stupid that that's a solution instead of telling men to stop acting like jackasses.

"Offensive sex pests"

localgirlcult · 2021-04-20T20:06:41+00:00

I feel like goth women have had this covered since forever. An offensive sex pest(loool) won't stop sex pesting and oops, your foot slipped. Omg, oh nOoOoOOooOO. 🤣

FabledAngryVillager · 2021-04-20T18:57:03+00:00

Ok is there someone on Etsy who can make these for me lol

MissYouMagdalen · 2021-04-20T21:58:01+00:00

Fyi, I had a goth phase and made a little side cash by personalizing clothing. These are easy to DIY, some snap in place, some screw in, and a few you need to use a piece of wood as a brace and smack it with a hammer. The last type are permanent/ non removable. Glue a piece of cotton over the end so it won't rub and cause blisters. Its very easy, decide where you want it and poke a hole with an ice pick, then place the spike.

The spikes are super cheap too, and if you order a stainless steel they last forever.

🗣🗣🗣Bring em back

UnforgettableBevy · 2021-04-20T18:24:28+00:00

..... and now I must have them.

holographic_kitten · 2021-04-20T21:29:03+00:00

Honestly I want them. I think it’s something a sex pest wouldn’t see coming.

umamifiend · 2021-04-21T01:39:35+00:00

There are shoe self defense spikes but they are cetrainly not as stylish as this.

Novemberinthechair · 2021-04-20T20:26:30+00:00

Those are masterpieces.

gcthwy · 2021-04-20T23:14:39+00:00

“Sex pests” is my new go to term to describe men like this!

chocolatelustpile · 2021-04-20T19:50:46+00:00

These would encourage me to wear heels more!
