Bono's shoes

[dmalezi]

Where does Bono get those punk creeper shoes? Is there anywhere regular people can get ones similar? I'm growing fond of them.
Not because I'm short.

They're TUK Creepers (and Larry was wearing them first ), you can find a bunch here:

http://www.heelandsoleshoes.com/browser/4/24/browse.html

This was just the first site that came up when I googled, there are plenty of places where you can buy them online, and I'm sure plenty in the real world too, just not in my pathetic little city I'd suggest calling shoe stores in your area and asking about TUK Creepers.

Actually, on second thought, here's the official site:

I wear a U.S. women's size 8.5
Should I go with a U.K. men's size 6 or 7?

And of course Larry was wearing them first. He is the cool one! Going back to his teen age Doc Marten days.

Holy crap, those are high! I could do with some of those... I wonder if they make them in my size though, I have tiny size 5 1/2 feet.

I hate when shoes don't come in half sizes

If you can't wear a women's 8 comfortably (I can't, and I wear an 8.5, and it's really a pity because I have a really cute pair of brown leather wing-tips in a size 8 and I can't wear them ), I'd say go up, and get a UK men's 7.

It's a great photo .

They have them in womans sizes I got mine by NY-LA brand and yes they are that high and they have the 2 fat lace rings..just like Bono/Larry wears...

I used to have some waaaaaaayyyy back when..they had a cool leopard print on the top part...

You can find them in your size BD...I work in an office and I wear them people think Im a closet punk-rocker...well so they ask if I am..

I want a pair like Larry has that have the silver stars at the top

Sounds like a plan!!

The shoes I want look "exactly" like Larrys

 

[perrypickwick]

Bonos shoes are soooo horrible. Back in the time were he weared normal shoes (like in Rattle and Hum ) everybody thougt he was a tall guy. But with this bricks he looks always very shot - and I think that's not what he wants to.

Meh, I wish it were that easy to make creepers look like his. :-S

*has yet to figure out how to stitch these damn shoes and not kill her hands*

When you're short you do whatever it takes to give a bit aof height though in the end you are still short

I totally relate to Bono in having a height complex...

and that's totally o.k.
What I meant: Since he wear those shoes he looks very short - it's the optic. Everybody in the band is very short - and most people in Showbizz are too. So the time before he wears those moon-Boots everybody thought Bono is 1,80 - 1,90. But when you wear those shoes everybodys focus is on them - you just look more short with these extra 10 cm than with normal shoes without the extra high.

- U2: that's all about the music and the magic .

In all fairness to Bono though, according to IMDB, Tim is like 6' 5". Sooo he'd tower over anyone...still
