People Are Freaking Out About This Japanese Woman Walking In Pigeon Shoes

ADVERTISEMENT

Japanese shoemaker Kyoto Ohata has created a hilarious pair of pigeon-themed high heels and everyone is freaking out. Some people hate it, others love it but probably only a few know that actually these shoes serve a very specific purpose.

Ohata often walks through an area that’s filled with pigeons and the birds scatter in fear when she strolls down the pavement. So, not to scare the pigeons, she decided to disguise her human presence with a pair of DIY shoes that look just like the pigeons themselves!

As a writer and image editor for Bored Panda, Giedrė crafts posts on many different topics to push them to their potential. She's also glad that her Bachelor’s degree in English Philology didn’t go to waste (although collecting dust in the attic could also be considered an achievement of aesthetic value!) Giedrė is an avid fan of cats, photography, and mysteries, and a keen observer of the Internet culture which is what she is most excited to write about. Since she's embarked on her journalistic endeavor, Giedrė has over 600 articles under her belt and hopes for twice as much (fingers crossed - half of them are about cats).

Haha, okay kind of goofy. But looking at some of the photos, they like they are made from felt and possibly felted on her own. If this girl doesn't do cosplay, she should cuz she could probably create some pretty high quality costumes and/or props!
