Etsy seller PCB Creations, who specializes in art made out of printed circuitboards and other discarded computer pieces, fashioned these $350 “data sandals” which look cool, but obviously cannot be worn:
Its summer and time to show off a unique pair of Data Sandals, these were fashioned from PC mother boards, ribbon wire and a host of other electronic components all put together to make these highly detailed and one of a kind Sandals. You’re going to enjoy just staring at these for hours.

Designer Edmundo Castillo created these Tron: Legacy inspired sandals that use LEDs to light-up. Starting February 1st, they will be sold exclusively at Saks Fifth Avenue, and you know what that means… expensive as hell. These are expected to sell for around $1650. If you’re looking for variety in your Tron shoes, there’s also these.

Teva knows that the biggest untapped market out there has to be the hippie fashionista/well-dressed feminine adventurer types. That’s why they made the logical decision to merge sandal with stiletto.
Who am I kidding? This is completely ridiculous—especially for $330. And if you still aren’t convinced that this is terrible, check out some of the suggested uses after the break.

Why should kids be the only ones to have lights on their shoes? I say put ‘em on sneakers, boots and even sandals. Teva agrees, which is why they installed a small LED on their Illum flip flops for those times when you are walking on the beach in fear what might be lurking underfoot. You can even remove the light and add it to your keychain.
I have to admit, it’s a more practical idea than liquor sandals.

In the sick mind of designer Giuseppe Zanotti and execs at Bloomingdales, sandals with rhinestone-encrusted bullets are somehow worth $650. You had better save one of those glittery bullets to take yourself out when the bill collectors come a-knockin’.

Show your support for a fictional beverage with these Duff Beer sandals. However, if it’s true foot-flavored beer you are after, I suggest picking up these Dram sandals instead.

If you don’t like something, come right out and say it. If you want to share your opinion with everyone around you, just wear flip flops that say it for you. Obviously, someone feels there is a market out there for yoga haters.

If you would rather not have kids, scientists and hunters trailing you at the beach, it might be a good idea to forget about these Dino Trailin Tracks Flip Flops. Each step results in a dinosaur-like footprint that is sure to invite stalking.

Deciding to call the old girlfriends after a night of drinking is always a bad idea. The problem is that you aren’t thinking straight at that point. Since the odds are 50/50 that you will end up on the floor, you may as well put any reminders you want down there as well.
