Materials
In order to create a pair of
shoendals, one must first find a pair of lowtop
shoes, new or old. Anything from
Arizona Jean Co. to
Airwalks will work. You will also need some sort of cutting device, like a
pocketknife, or a
boxcutter. Now there are many different ways to create a pair of
shoendals, but I'm going to go by the
design of
Lincoln Southeast Highschool junior
Carl Kacvinsky.
Step 1:
The first step in creating your
shoendals is to cut the toe of the shoe off, like you see on any normal pair of
sandals. This allows the toes to breathe, and not accumulate an
odor such as that of a particular
trombone in
Wind Ensemble.
Step 2:
Step two in creating your
shoendals is to cut the
bridge of the shoe off, so that the bridge of the
foot is visible. This creates the
strap that will cross over the foot, just above your
toes.
Step 3:
Step three in creating your very own
shoendals is to lace up the remaining
laces in what is left of your shoes. The bottom laces will be tied seperately from the top laces, since you did remove the bridge of the shoe.
Finishing Up:
Once you have completed all of the above, you will have in possesion, your very own pair of shoendals. Wear them with
pride, and
joy, just as Carl would have you. I have yet to think of any advice to give you, for the extensive
harassment, and negative comments that will be directed toward your shoendals. Just try to ignore it!
