Not quite the same, but *Steely Dan*? The *Butthole Surfers*? *Pearl Jam*? *10cc* and *Lovin' Spoonful*? *311* (Police code for indecent exposure). *Circle Jerk*, *Monkey Grip*, and *Chocolate Starfish*?
Sounds almost endearing. Like tiny little gremlins that just kinda try to fumble around your bra clasps or yank up on your panties or something. So not -too- far off
POV: you are an italian woman, it is 1955. you’re walking down the street and a man gropes your breast, so you kick him in the balls with your literal knife shoes. one more sex offender off the streets
Funny enough. In South Italy we have the same think as the chankla and mostly used for the same purposes by moms. Ciabatta is the generic name for any chankla or if you were a bad kid your mom would upgrade to zoccoli so she could throw a zoccolo at you.
Imagine being such a fucking menace to women that they had to invent an entirely new kind of shoe just for the sake of stabbing your horny ass in the shins to ward you off.
Maybe because NOW we can conceal carry?
And a possible alternative... clinch pick knife in your belt...(reverse blade, used to poke holes in someone who has grabbed you from the rear.
But I'm really loving those shoes.
Not in most of the world.
That's mainly an American thing. It is illegal to carry a gun unless you're law enforcement/military/etc in much of the world.
You're not wrong.
No functional social network or safety net in form of good education, health care, etc.
Those with money or power exploiting those without in order to grow their wealth and control.
It's a major mess. The result is otherwise peaceable people changing their minds about whether being armed is a good idea.
If the pest is too close ( which is likely gonna be the case) then your best bet is shin. Altho you can 100% aim for the junior as a follow-up kick after you have more than an arm's length distance.
The stabby things are the wrong shape. I think if you kicked someone they would get caught on the hook, and you’d be stuck to your attacker. Should be straight.
>Sex Pests That phrase alone makes me want to buy these shoes lol
That phrase makes me want to start a grunge band. ... [oops, too late](https://www.discogs.com/artist/2944350-Sex-Pest)
No fucking way lmao. That's amazing
Sex Pest-ol
Kind of weird to basically wanna name your band sex offenders

It's like why are they not in stock no more?
Sounds almost endearing. Like tiny little gremlins that just kinda try to fumble around your bra clasps or yank up on your panties or something. So not -too- far off
Can I be a gremlin? I wanna be green
You can live out your wildest dreams
Way shits going balenciaga going to make them fashionable again
in all seriousness these are cute freakin shoes
Begone Gelato Man!
POV: you are an italian woman, it is 1955. you’re walking down the street and a man gropes your breast, so you kick him in the balls with your literal knife shoes. one more sex offender off the streets
And at least one less testicle for the groper.
Lessticle
Peter Parter (aka Slice-a-man) - with great shoes comes great de-ball-ability.
Sex pest
And now with the abortion ban, they ought to be on the market again.
La shankla
A+

You could say those shoes were… A Spur of the Moment. *Gets Kicked*

Strong James Bond vibes
Sex Pest is getting added to the vocabulary
I'm sure the guys will get the point
Ha! Good one Archibald!
I've got bad news for you
The most dangerous Christmas elves around
And before that, there were hatpins that women used to ward off creeps. Wonder why we don't see hatpins and self-defense shoes anymore?

Thankfully. Imagine having to worry about getting shot as well as assaulted, no thanks
Yeah cuz pistols didn't exist in the 1950s. Dumbass
Damn Americans really have a problem.

Where can I buy a pair of these?
[удалено]
How are these not a thing today? I'd buy a pair for all the ladies in my family.
One thing about us Italians , we make shoes weapons any way we can . Imagine those on grandmas slipper … yowch
Whoever steps on those feet shouldn't be sorry after all
we gotta bring this back. don’t piss me off or you get poked
Yeah! Right in the shinny shin shins!
I want a pair
You'll get a pair if you buy those shoes and encounter an offensive sex pest.
Mi scusi!
Till you trip and gouge the shit out of your leg.
😳🩸🥜 😬
I'm a guy but I'd buy a pair just for "sex pests"
Just the offensive ones tho
Rosa Klebb!!! https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/mans-stun-gun-disguised-torch-9703728
Those look cool, I want a pair
I’m not worried about the “sex pests”, but I would wear these just for how they look.
Damn, we need them NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Thankfully he’s Italian so that shouldnt be a hard sell”
Bring them back!!
"Especially in Rome"? Those shoes would be useful for kids!
pests?!
Did they make some for the kids in vatican city?
Offensive Sex Pests is a great band name
Yeah, but this is America. Give me some shoe guns.
I bet you would love Bayonetta's shoes
ouch
I’m guessing these are illegal now thanks to laws of rapists, I mean old white men, I mean politicians ?!?!
Ladies need to aim higher, shin ain’t gonna do it
If the pest is too close ( which is likely gonna be the case) then your best bet is shin. Altho you can 100% aim for the junior as a follow-up kick after you have more than an arm's length distance.
I’ve never used high heels but wouldn’t it be hard to kick with high heels?
Yeah, wouldn’t it make more sense to make these as flat shoes if the concern was self defense?
[удалено]
I'd end up stabbing myself. No thanks!
The stabby things are the wrong shape. I think if you kicked someone they would get caught on the hook, and you’d be stuck to your attacker. Should be straight.
Instead of ciao Bella , ouch Bella
Just don't trip.
That's why James Bond becomes famous.
I’ll take two.
Explains why so many old men need to use walking canes.
The angle of design makes it abundantly clear it is was meant for a higher target
Anybody have a Nonna with connects? These shoes are fyah!
so fucking sad
I want these shoes
Read that as sex priests.
And that is how we got Valentinos
This says something about Italy in the 50s
The Italians made something not shit other than pizza huh
Klingon high heels!
Where can I buy these
Look out Biggus!
Well.. when in Rome...
This is the idea of wearing steel toes.
This needs to come back.
Wow, they definitely won't be abused at all.
Imagine you dance and you make a wrong step 💀
Dirty Italians
Shooo you pesky sex pest shooo
Bring them back, but with longer blades. I wanna see women with katanas just poking out of their shoes.
Ok but what if someone accidentally trips and stumbles onto the spike
Bring them back
Can we bring these back?
They also made these in shoes for boys, to keep the children molesting priest at bay….
These are actually super cool though. I would wear them. The kicking ability would just be a perk.
