I Need Those On My Feet NOW: Panzer Tank Slippers

This is a pair of custom crocheted Panzer tank slippers made by Etsy seller miligurumis for her husband. Thankfully, she's selling the pattern for $7 so we can all make our own. And by "we can all make our own" I mean "you can make me a pair". I don't want Panzer tanks though, I want Shermans. And I want them to actually shoot fireworks out of their cannons when I click my heels together like Dorothy. Oh, and if you could put wheels on them like roller skates that would be cool too. "Of cooouuurse, GW, anything else -- maybe some rocket thrusters on the back?" GOOD CALL. "I was being facetious." I don't even know what that means but you call me the second they're ready, okay?

Hit the jump for several more shots from different angles.

    I know you think you want the sherman GW but the sloped armor on the Panzer will come in handy when your stubbing toes in drunken shambles...just something to think about.

    Is there any reason she felt compelled to make Nazi slippers?

  • BillGatesIsYourDaddy

    probably because she located in Argentina. we all know the Nazi's took off to South America after WWII with their gold.
