Preferably realistic features, but if your perfect shoe involves some kinda anti-grav hover features, I’d absolutely understand.
Heelies? Pfft, check out my real hover-slides.
The ability for them to easily be repaired and recycled unlike the throw away shoes companies make now.
It’s possible to buy repairable shoes. They are just not as trendy or cheap as the mass produced fast fashion counterparts.
100% dirt and water repellant. Just stay clean and dry all the time.
The monkey’s paw curls. Your sweat is forever sealed within the shoes.
Well it forget to make the shoes dirt and water repellant, but otherwise I have those. Not to bad if it isn’t to warm outside, grate autumn/spring early winter shoes.
Retractable ice spikes and claws!
Not mine but saw a reddit post about them a while ago and saved this pic on my phone.
I want some.
Something breathable like canvas but it is more durable than leather. The soles are as tough as possible while staying flexible enough to accommodate squatting. The soles are designed to be replaced multiple times without damaging the rest of the shoes.
It would have a composite protective toe, few to no seams, and laces that can snug it up to your foot if you tug them and hook them, but the shoes would stay on if you don’t do anything to the laces. Like, they just wouldn’t be as supportive without snugging them up.
It would have aggressive arch supports, or else come with several different inserts for different arch support needs.
Also, very wide toe box designed around normal toes, not squashing toes into a narrow or unnaturally shaped space.
Sneakers/Tennis/Running shoes that have automatically pop/retracting heel wheels like Heelys
You lock your shoes together a certain way to engage the wheels which lock in place so you can skate around. When you’re done, you lock in the opposite direction which causes the wheels to eject and swing out to rest on the top of the shoe so it stays out of the way.
You get the ultimate tactical shoe that you can run and play sports in which also also double as Heelys when you need them to
Optionally, make the wheels electric powered as well lol
My favorite shoes are the Red Wing Iron Ranger’s. I worked for them for 3 years and when I left I was gifted my second pair. They’re great shoes in everyway. I only wish they had an 8 inch version available in the states. They had one back then in Europe, but nothing stateside. My two sets and the pile of other shoes I got when I worked there have been going strong some years on so I haven’t boot shopped in a while, maybe they finally took my advice and did it.

So like leather barefoot shoes? Those exist.

I searched for “leather barefoot shoes” and found several. Example

Like heelies but the wheels are sideways so you use it like a skateboard. I don’t know how that would work but that’s what I want.
Secret pocket in the tongue to hide your drugs like my circa late 90’s Chad Muska éS that I tore to shreds skateboarding like an IDIOT!!
I’m old now and don’t need to hide my drugs in my shoe anymore, but those shoes were cool as hell
A limited run of 2023 muskas came out last month FYI. Could probably grab a pair still…
Woah forreal?!
Yeah when I looked earlier they had most sizes left in the UK, not sure where you’re based but a quick Google should get you there.
I’m buying a pair. Thanks dude you’re my hero!
Rocket shoes? Yeah, definitely rocket shoes
Slip in (already a thing) and machine washable.
I agree. With “Lemmy is fantastic” part, too.
It’s meh. It could be fantastic but communist have taken it over and it’ll die down over there next few years.
I hope to be proven wrong but this place is just going to end up being fancy forums after everyone bans every opinion they hate and defederates.
I’ll probably be back on Reddit inside a year 😑
It’s always the quintessential Redditor that complains about the fediverse.
This place is so much more positive than Reddit. Maybe you’d notice your mood improve a bit if you tried to participate in a positive way.

Ah the american classic shoe
Steel radial truck-tyre soles. Sick of wearing through them in a few months.
Fits my weird-shaped feet (wide fitting, deep through the instep).
Uppers squashy enough not to destroy my feet after an all-day hike, but hard-wearing enough not to fall apart.

Ruby slippers
I would just like some width varieties as well as length.
