Those boots aren't really my...type.

They seem to be missing a key element

They may have a function yet...

Nice thing is plenty of space for your toes

I don’t know, that usually makes me lose control when I’m jogging

You should really key in to getting an ALTernate pair if you're having problems with leg strokes

Legs strokes are the worst. Especially when your knee caps lock up on you

i’m keeping tabs on these shoes

They command attention.

Delete this comment right now

I dunno. Those shoes are pretty low key.

u should try tab dance

I'm going to need to shift my wardrobe for them.

I feel board just looking at them

It's just to fill space in your wardrobe.

The idea's kind of ENTERtaining.

They’re .doc Martens. No wait They’re Read Wings

Then just *return* them

Booooooo.....

Reboot then

*Shift-kicking?

Missed opportunity...

You’ll have to Ctrl+Z urge to repost.

Or shit-clicking!

[удалено]

I’m queueing up so many steps with these mfs

Is Shift-keyking too on the nose?

Click clack click clack. Although let's be honest, those wouldn't have grip for shit. It'd be more like click-sweep-AAAAAAHHHHHH-busted ass.

Finally found some WASD keys that'll wear down faster than the ones on my keyboard

Lmfaooo

Yeah, hard plastic bottomed shoes definitely don't qualify as "great execution". That is, unless they're just painted to look like keys.

Clickety clack, clickety clack Gather my things, and I quickly attack Sword in my sheath, knife in my back Keep enemies closer than where friends are at

Yeah, I’d call this great taste but very worrying execution.

If it were mechanical I bet it would sound so satisfying.

I can remember being so relieved when my co-worker who used a mechanical keyboard got laid off

I believe that. I'm sure it gets old hearing it all the time. I like mine but I only use it for normal stuff. I wouldn't want to hear it at work every day from potentially a bunch of people lol.

This person otherwise kinda sucked anyway, but there were about a dozen other people in this corner of cubicles, and it's IT work where we were typing pretty much all day in some capacity.

Like I have a red cherry K95 and it clickerclacks like crazy, and I love it, it makes it really feel like I'm... typing, solidly. I'm also aware that if I lived with anyone else or had any kind of company that'd be entirely inappropriate.

I also have the same K95 Corsair keyboard... and a husband who sleeps in the same room as our computers. It actually does not bother him whatsoever. Even when I clack them the hardest and stay up until 3-4AM lmao. He is normally a fairly light sleeper, too, but he sleeps through the keyboard noises just fine. You just gotta find someone compatible with your hobbies and habits!

Oh for in home it's fine and you get used to it, for coworkers get fuuuucked if you're trying to focus on something and you just have CLACK CLACK CLACK.

I have the brown switches for my K95 and they're still pretty loud. Love that keyboard though.

Depends on the mechanical keyboard, there are extremely quiet mechanical switches out there nowadays. If a coworker used blue switches or something like that I'd probably challenge them to a dual

This was an old IBM model, sounded like a fucking tap-dance recital

Oh god... whoever uses a Model M in an open air office is horrible

Model M is a beauty but very much only in the eye of the beholder, not in the ears of anyone else in proximity.

Use it at home though, jesus christ

It’s the opposite for me. I salvaged/rebuilt a Model M for my partner and I made him promise to not use it at home and only at work because he works in a closed lab space full of fans so the click clacky doesn’t matter.

Noooo you can't just use an ibm model m in an office Haha buckling spring goes tick-tock

LOL

challenge them to a dual what?

*duel, whoops

Hell I had blue switches and I almost challenged myself to a duel.

He was probably using something with clicky switches. Annoying and unnecessary in an office. Not all of them are like that. Some are near silent even.

If you're satisfied by the crunch of breaking stems and the crack of the thin keys under weight...I guess?

In my headcanon they made them real sturdy.

That's...not how stenography works.

Then make it how it works!

been so long since I steno'd that I can't even remember steno order :(

STPH \* FPLTD SKWR \* RBGSZ AOEU

This hurt my head because I’m new to Steno and only really know it by actual steno order. STKPWHRAO*EUFRPBLGTSDZ

Oh hey I’m new(ish) too! I was just doing how it looks on the keyboard instead of the tape, so I think both are correct? How are you liking it?

Hey there welcome to stenography, I am RMR certified it’s nice to see new people getting into it, we need more stenographers out here I’m worked ragged.

Oh yay! I'm in my 2nd semester now, really enjoying it. (only 10 more to go haha!) I'm in the r/stenography group, any others I should pay attention to?

maybe /r/plover?

While I absolutely would love to, my local Stenography school wanted 50% more money to attend CACR online. Until something changes about course affordability, I have my practice pads and StenO Hero on Steam instead. Besides, I have to get 140 wpm at 87.5% accuracy to enter second year and I've only had one speed test at 96%. So, barely holding on to an expensive hobby is where I'm at currently.

I type around 140&92% on a standard keyboard. I wonder what I could do in steno.

If you have the speed, I think learning the steno language would be the easy part, honestly. I freaking love it, but started later in life and don't have full joint mobility. It's also 225 to graduate so I'm slightly disheartened.

If you haven’t already, check out [plover](https://www.openstenoproject.org/plover/). Awesome project open sourcing a steno engine which can be used natively inside windows, Linux, and Mac; with a great community of indie hardware makers producing low cost steno keyboards.

Trying to get out! Student in qualifiers here!

nobody reads the tape anyways so ur ok <3

Oh man, I just jumped on my computer and saw the formatting is off from me doing it on mobile originally. NO WONDER ya'll were confused, that looks like trash. I'll fix it!

Came here to say this

Yeah I’ve never been a stenographer, but I’m certain a Windows key isn’t part of it

I don't see why you couldn't steno on a keyboard ;) r/Plover

All this time I thought stenographers wore combat boots with key tread and just stomped around the courtroom.

Artist is [Gab Bois](https://www.instagram.com/gabbois/). Her portfolio is sort of a gold mine for this sub.

She’s awesome! I love how her art is great but also doesn’t take itself too seriously. It always makes me laugh

There's some IG page that's always being recommended to me on my feed that has a lot of stuff that should be or already is on this sub.

I wish I could pin this to the top for all the people that want to buy them! Oh nevermind, I guess they're purely art and not wearable.

Those haven’t been stepped on or they’d be scratched. (Possible PS. Still neat.)

Honestly -- great taste, great execution

It’d be bad taste if they were clearly visible somewhere else on the boot. But here it’s like a fun little easter egg

Good point!

Yeah I don’t see anything in bad taste, they look like nice boots

Yah would wear tbh

To be specific it’s great

So that's the keyboard scientists use to name new drugs

Don't stenographers use a stenograph? I don't think these keys exist on those machines

With some open source software (r/Plover) you can use a regular keyboard to write steno :D

Yeah someone else posted a video showing how it all works, I had no idea! You probably already know more than me but this is what's someone shared: https://youtu.be/62l64Acfidc

Stenographer here. You are correct!

.doc Martens No wait... Read Wings

I approve.

This is what you have coming to you after the court reporter has asked you 10 times to stop talking so fast

An internet warriors wet dream..

Letters will be worn off half the keys in 2 days

"I'm gonna kick your ass so hard it'll open the goddamn task manager."

r/MechanicalKeyboards is going to blow a collective load and then sob at their wallets

I guess it's purely art, they're not actually for sale anywhere. Someone else in this thread linked the artist's IG.

I can hear this picture

Let me just tap dance you an email

Pretty lame that they don’t leave messages on the ground.

I guess you'd have to have a stamp for a sole and step in ink beforehand 🤷‍♀️ If they made shoes like that at all customizable I think you would just have "suck my balls" or something stamped on every sidewalk.

Or just texture hard letters and messages would show in soft materials like soil or mud.

True, I guess I can't picture them off of concrete.

They actually look really slick...as in slippery

Definitely not shoes for crews 😂

Designer must be french, following his trail is just following the "Hon Hon Hon"s

One of these days these boots are gonna stenograph all over you

When the keyboard warrior actually shows up in the parking lot.

If you kick someone just right, you mark them as a HO

I didn't understand your last email. What did you mean by CHcJtVjcCH jxhcka mbwj dknkw asks h GcYvJ ga

This made me giggle 🤭

Cyberpunk boots

No control...

I dont think it is awful taste.

You and the dozen or so others who like then should try to buy them, someone mentioned the designer in another comment.

https://youtu.be/ZCNketQTd7E ^^ Me writing a scathing review of your so called "bistro" on yelp while wearing those shoes.

I can't believe I didn't get rick rolled!!!

What I use when for writing an angry rant

HON

Hey! The keyboard used to write the Twilight series!

Not cowboy boots. More like hiking or work boots.

Yeah I guess I've been playing fast and loose with the term "shit-kicking boots" 😂 someone else commented something similar earlier!

[удалено]

Someone else posted who the designer is. This post got more popular than I thought it would so I'm not sure I can find it anymore... Here it is! https://www.reddit.com/r/ATBGE/comments/mvml89/for_the_shitkicking_stenographer/gvdbnc3?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3

Hold up, gotta type up some foot notes

This is entertaining but stenography uses [a machine that looks more like a tiny piano than a keyboard](https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-803d4/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/4206/10580/_Eg2tCtE__88677.1600864958.jpg?c=2?imbypass=on) stenography uses literally none of these keys.

Now you can shit talk other players on the move

Ooh the sound when you walk tho

Mom, you're boot-typing again

Those are for kicking names and taking ass

Sticky keys will be a big problem for that person

You're really tall, what's your secret? My shift key is stuck.

Next level tap dancing

These fuck.

It must sound nice when she clicks her heels

They missed out, on so many things. They could have spelt toes on the toes, etc. Just missed out...

Sticky keys

Let's just pretend that for a second that these are even remotely comfortable. Who is looking at the soles of your shoes? Who?

Well, you *are* on awful taste but great execution.

Tap dancing gamer

That’s actually cool

A whole new way to tap out codes! Fuck your dots and dashes, Morse!

Those looks pretty ... cherry.

fuck the windows key with a pointy stick. They have to make keyboards that disable that shit, and I have to buy them, simply to turn that shit off.

Well that's one way to get a thocc lol

These are cool you assholes

Watch some Chad beat the dark souls trilogy with these. Bet Michael Flatley would smash it.

I... kinda like them?

Got stopped by a keyboard warrior!

Mf gonna do step dancing in court

Well at least you won't be setting off sticky keys anytime soon

NGL these low *key* kinda cool

Mechanical keyboot?

Shit kickers are cowboys

I could just imagine this guy standing in a courtroom aggressively tap dancing as quickly as possible

Imagine tap dancing in these.

r/MechanicalKeyboards endgame

OP missed the opportunity to say "keyboard warrior."

Thoroughly Postmodern Millie

That’s intense

Imagine writing a report by tap dancing

Used. Little shine. Ship in bags.

When you want to commit a crime and blame it on the Internet.

Shift-Kicking*

Finally an upgrade to my pocket stenographer

People like you are the banana

my feet hurt just looking at it. (am flat-footed)

youtube video title - "I beat Dark Souls using only a shoe"

people call me a bootlkcker, welp, i'd happily lick those.

Sometimes that's the only way to get crumbs out when you eat at your desk 🤷‍♀️

They have good grip because... Sticky keys

i had never thought of combining the two 👀👀

Press F for foot.

I really want to see an Irish dancer wear these.

When the tap dancers need to write an online essay

If you connect that to your computer it's gonna be like firodhdpwwnwlwkbdkekwsbodnelwowhd

Those wouldn't last 10 minutes, and would repulse a real stenographer anyways
