So I am an autistic person and really love wearing stuff with pikachu on it. Like obsessively. Most of the shoes with them on it are super expensive short runs that are like a billion dollars on ebay. Which super bums me out! There is one exception to this and its crocs which also happen to be comfy.
Could you apply Pikachu to your own shoes? Like a sticker or an applique or something?
Thanks for replying to my comment with such a thoughtful idea! I have tried that before and I dont like the looks of DIY stuff sadly. I am also not that creative as a person which does not help at all. My skills are more towards setting up networks and managing arrays of server. The other issue is I am also downright abusive to anything I own. I wish this was not the case but clothing really does not last long with me shoes included.
EDIT: Now that I look at these applique things you talked about they might work! Like I should have checked that out before commenting. Thanks again!
There's stuff like print-out iron-on transfers too, might be a pain to do on a shoe but you might be able to make it work on like a canvas shoe.

I imagine the problem with that would be wear and tear - the sticker in particular. A native solution is just more durable, and often higher quality.
Have you looked into getting your shoes customised? I would expect there's some relatively cheap solutions out there
Never thought of looking something like this up. Gonna give it a look when I have time.
Heck, buy some blank shoes and paint them yourself!
I hope you find something good!
My partner owns like 8 pairs of crocs
I actually just got into them because of a recent collab with pokemon. If I knew about them before and how comfy they were I would have bought them and decked them out before this.
whyyyyyy
She and her mom have the same shoe size, so tgey kinda joint own them atm
I've become croc-pilled recently. Or at least knock-off $5-$10 Croc pilled.
They're a lot better than slides, and they have an optional back strap so you can walk fast without worrying about them slipping off.
Plus they're super wide at the toes so they're comfy. And easily washable when muddy. They're the perfect camping/garden shoe. If they had a real running-shoe sole they'd be great for everywhere, but because of that I don't really like wearing them walking around normally on pavement

i mean i have a pair of sandals, one of regular sneakers, one formal, i probably have boots, and i used to have some sports-specific footwear but i struggle to understand how someone can make use of 8 pair of crocs, or even four if she's sharing with her mom (also that's kinda gross)
ok that rocks
