WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS SHOE?

Walmart shoes
These men's dress shoes, which are described on the Walmart website as 'alluring square-toe slip-ons', have elicited some hilarious customer reviews

'I can even flip pancakes with these shoes!' Hilariously sarcastic internet reviewers make fun of $119 pair of Walmart slip-ons

An odd-looking pair of men's dress shoes on the Walmart website have attracted a lot of buzz due to the hilarious customer reviews that have been written about them.
All eight reviews of the shoes, which feature a very pronounced square-toed shape, give them five stars - although the comments themselves reveal a marked sense of sarcasm.
'I've been wearing them around the house pretty much every day!' wrote one reviewer, adding: 'The best part is, I can flip pancakes with them!'


The website's description of the footwear reads: 'Alluring square toe slip-on with charming detail and design. A must have for your dress collection this season.'
But their bizarre shape give them a clownish appearance, a fact that one commenter drew on in his review of them.
Calling them a 'time saver', the customer wrote that the multi-purpose shoes are very convenient on snowy, winter days.

'When I really don't want to go to work I quite often drag my feet on the way to the car,' he wrote. 'Thanks to these new super-shoes, I can shovel the pavement while I walk!'
He then added that the pair are 'a must-have for anyone who hates the repetition of snow shoveling, or has Sideshow Bob feet.'
Another commenter remarked on the shoes' appeal to the opposite sex.

Five stars: Another humorous reviewer said the the best part of the 'super-shoes' is that they are particularly handy on snowy days, when they can double as shovels

'When I wore them out of the store you should have seen the looks I was getting,' he wrote. 'All the mamacitas were checking them out and saying they were looking good.'
The reviewer pointed out that the shoes have one setback, however: 'You need to wear mudguards as on a rainy day you will get your face splashed if you don't watch it,' he explained.

Some of the customers note in their reviews that the shoes can be used for other purposes.
'I locked myself out of my apartment last Sunday,' wrote Civad from Rhode Island.
'Luckily, I was wearing my Zota G803-10's and was able to use them to wedge my door open! These shoes were more useful than a credit card.'
Another said: 'The bindings are very comfortable, and there is plenty of storage space for keys and loose change.'
And one humorous commenter joked that the shoes are 'great for the beach'.

'I get many compliments at the beach when I wear them with my speedos!' he wrote. 'A must buy for any beach-goer, if you're going to the tropics on vacation buy them before you leave!'
