The blue one shall be mine. I have a thing for shoes. I’m worse than Imelda Marcos.

THIS IS AMAZING!!!

Airwalk still makes shoes?

Anyone know if these will be on sale in the UK and where? Love ’em, want ’em!!!

This is awesome. I like how they’re simple, yet get the message across in a subtle way.

Do they think women don’t want to walk like Trekkies? Where’s the love for ladies’ shoes?

Wow, that is nerdtastic.

Fun! So, if you wear the red shoes, should you look over your shoulder alot?

‘Nella, you don’t go with the hi-top look? My daughter and niece will definitely be getting these, but they do tend to wear this kind of stuff with their lime green tight jeans and little dead bunny t-shirts. Kind of the look.

Maybe some 5 inch stillettos with a delta shield at the toe would be a good idea for the more upscale lady.

Nice looking shoe. Wonder if they have a pair without the Star Trek logos (that scream “NERRRRRD!!!!!”).

If you buy the red ones do you run the risk of going on away missions to the shops only to be untimely vapourised by a giant man eating zepholopod from the planet Zykon 3??

already ordered…payless.com

i wonder what would happen to me if i wore these?

Now if they’d only come in women’s sizes, I’d be all over that. More so if it was converse sneakers.

Good Lord.

Coooooooooooollllllllllll

#8 pacimage – “So, if you wear the red shoes, should you look over your shoulder alot?”

I don’t know – but I definitely would NOT wear them to the firing range. Might shoot my own foot off!

I’m waiting for the gravity boot model…

Now if they brought out some hover boots like what spock had when he rescued Kirk when he fell off El Cap. at Yosemite I may consider a purchase :)

“Perhaps you have heard Russian epic of Cinderella? If shoe fits, wear it! “

I read about these about a week ago and thought they weren’t for me, but now my shoes are starting to fall apart and some of my friends on campus are saying I should definitely get them, so I might.

I really like that they decided not to go with the metallic silver as the prototypes had, but I wish that they had kept the “Star” and “Trek” in the left and right shoes respectively and also the “NCC-1701” along the back of the heel.

I’m gonna go trekking in the trekkies.

And one more thing for the Christmas List.

oh yeah, i’m getting’em.

That has got to be the coolest thing I have ever seen.

They need a basic black version for dress uniforms…….I mean work clothes….

You know, like a stealthy trek kinda thing.

So, so silly….I want them!

I haven’t been big on buying Trek merchandise for years now, but HOT DAMN I want those shoes. Christmas List, here I come.

Ok. For heavens sake. DO NOT WEAR RED!!!! Or you may be Killed!!!! Ok lol. Just kidding. I will havt to think on that. Looks kool though.

Good thing nobody has a shoe size bigger than 13…..

9. Thigh-high boots a la the Romulan commander look…only with the Starfleet delta shields on the front….now that would be fun.

“Merchandising, merchandising, where the real money from the movie is made. (Star Trek)-the T-shirt, (Star Trek)-the Coloring Book, (Star Trek)-the Lunch box, (Star Trek)-the Breakfast Cereal, (Star Trek)-the Flame Thrower…..and now (Star Trek) the Sneakers???- Derived from Yogurt from Spaceballs

Oh god.

I WANT THEM ALL NOW!!!!!
:)

Really? A couple of things spring to mind:
1. ATHLETIC shoes and Trekkies (Trekkers), Is this an oxymoron? Unfortunately most of the fans I know arent exactly the ‘athletic’ type but if this gets them excercising then BRAVO! (Dont boo or hiss we know this to be true.)
2. Who will be brave enough to jaywalk in the red ones? Call me superstitious but I think thats taunting fate :)
3. Have we actually progressed in society enough that this wont be tantamount to wearing a sign around our necks saying, “Its OK, I wasnt interested in dating anyway…”. women notice shoes, this is a fact.
Im not being (too) sarcastic here and am seriously wondering if Trekdom is mainstream enough now that this will be ‘geek chic’.

What is this mens sizes only nonsense? I hope I can get my feet into one of the smaller sizes. Yeah science blue! Too bad command gold is online only. Nerdshoegasm!

Erm,
1) Science blue.
2) Hey, what about women that are average foot size? I am a 7 womens and I am rather afraid I won’t fit into the smallest.
3) 49.99 is a lil pricey, especially for Payless.
4) Getting ’em anyway.
5) Hope the lil metal thing is removable so I don’t feel like too much of a dork when I wear these to school.
6) @AngryKlingon I notice shoes, but I think there are plenty of girls out there that a) won’t care or b) will like your dorkiness ;)

#20.,

Unfortunately Reebok made Spock’s TFF levitation boots.

As for the others speculating on the deadliness of the red shoes, I think they are forgetting it’s the SHIRT (and maybe a dress or two) and not the shoes that carries the curse. There’s not one recorded scene of a dead Fed adorned in upper torso red wearing any shoe of matching color.

The only curse I’m aware of with regards to wearing red shoes is from a fairy tale.

I wonder when they’ll do a Klingon shoe with the spike at the toe and the Klingon symbol?

My husband and I will be in the US visiting family over the Christmas holidays. We will definitely be hitting Payless Shoe Source for those shoes.

I used to teach high school, and the Airwalk brand was quite popular amongst my students that identified themselves as skateboarders.

I have rather large feet for a woman and I sometimes purchase men’s trainers. They seen to be more comfortable than the women’s styles.

@35

The witch in the film “Penelope” (2008) wore red trainers!

I wouldnt be seen dead them, fan or not…

Nerd Alert! Might just have to get a pair

and Payless is having their buy one get one half off sale right now!.

too bad the smallest equals a women’s 8 1/2…. they missed a big market there…

$50?? I don’t think so.
Even when I get re-employed, I wouldn’t spend that!

The sole of Star Trek. (Couldn’t resist)

That’s awesome

@18 & 44
LOL

These shoes were made for trekking, and that’s just what I’ll do…

But, are they available in Canada?

“Who will be brave enough to jaywalk in the red ones? Call me superstitious but I think thats taunting fate :)”

Nope. Jaywalking while wearing armadillo-skin boots – THAT’S tempting fate!

THIS IS A DISASTER

I WEAR SIZE 16 SHOES AND THESE ARE NOT OFFERED IN MY SIZE

THIS IS A DISASTER

:-D

Gawd I am ordering RIGHT NOW, methinks this is the first merchandising item I completely went bonkers over at first site!
