Daryl van Wouw’s Converse Extension 1 leaves me in a conundrum: are they shoes that are pants or are they pants that are also shoes? Link

After a survey of the house with education levels ranging from highschool dropout to masters, pants.

So what happens everytime you want to enter or leave the (no wearing shoes allowed inside of the) home?
Lea
This could pose a problem in Japan.
And they look pretty uncomfortable.
Miss Cellania
Whatever they are, don't break a string! I'd hate to have to relace them.

In the '60's there were some very awesome mod go-go boots/tights varieties - I love the update!
Bailey
What do you do if you have a pebble in your shoe/pants??
czeltic girl
Reminds me of those footie pajamas little kids wear (but far more complicated).
Leyla
I want them!
(But in silver or black.)

I'll bet these pants are a pain when going to the restroom.

I hereby name these -- Shants!
Well, s'better than the alternative -- Poos...

The store would need to stock a LOT of sizes to get all the permutations of waist, inseam, and shoe size covered! Wow... Definitely a custom made sort of thing and not practical for real-world marketing....

Shoes or pants?
There is an answer. It depends on where they placed the "Chuck Taylor All Star" badge.

The answer is in the name: "Converse Extension". It's shoes.

These are really cool looking, however, I'd be a tad peeved in the morning having to lace those bad boys up. Unless you oil yourself into already tightened "Shants" as Munky has named them.

I remember these from the early 1980s. The girlfriend of the guy who worked at the skateboard shop had these, she had a beehive hairdoo and popped gum all the time. I think she wished she was Debbie Harry. Seeing these again really takes me back to 1981-1982.

1 day to lace up...
2 days to Take off.

I vote for shoes. It's much more fun to go pantless than shoeless.
If you wear them, don't go in a mosque.
And I hope you like preleminaries...
LHR
Pants? I don't see any Pants? That's supposed to be underwear?
You mean TROUSERS?
Alex
@LHR: pants = trousers for us Yanks.

They're "Booties". Get it?
Booties 'cause they're like boots, and Booties 'cause they cover your bootie.
amberae
i'm going to try and recreate a pair of these for myself... i need some. as far as comfort goes, i don't think there's much trouble, they look to made out of the same stuff sweats are made of. lol, if you have to pee, pull them down like pants, it's not like they're overalls.
Maia
i want some of these
Nintygirl
They look awesome to me.. I might even try to make a pair myself!
Melodee
I wonder how much a pair of these would cost?
They probably would cost a lot, but it would be worth it.
In my opinion, they are shoes.
glaze
I WANT SOME OF THOSE SA BAD! does anyone no where to find them?
Laura Dits
How about boots trousers? Or trousers boots then?

jessica rae

*PeanutButterJellyTime*
Hahah, how interesting! I'm not sure if anyone else has seen the movie, "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen," but I just saw it yesterday with my niece, and near the end there is a scene where the best friend of the main character is wearing those same shoes! I know that was a run-on sentence, but that was really quite interesting. I'm a scene kid more-so, and I would really like a pair of these. Haha.
Kaylia
I actually really like these a lot, I have a relatively average-ish small waist size and a very generic shoe size lol. if i found these in a shop i would absolutely buy them 
also people are thinking to much, they aren't 'lace ups' thats the illusion, it looks like elastic string to me while the waist is drawstring like pajamas. so as long as you're not particularly fat or skinny, you just buy your shoe size and 1 size fit all.
btw the confessions of a teenage drama queen is where i saw them first as well, and they look much better as a converse twist, black fabric white 'lace' strings
Madie

Kalei A.
