The title says it all, there are now transformer shoes. They're scaled down so you can't actually wear them, but they might not be that comfortable anyway.

I know there's a lot of Transformers fans out there, so when I stumbled upon this I came here right away Razz

I'm not even a fan of Transformer and I think those shoes are pretty awesome looking....although I bet they don't have the best arch support. Laughing Sweet find, I so I see those in shoes store, kids taking off their shoes and playing with it.....oh that can't be very clean now can't it?

I don't think that's going to stop any of the die-hard Transformers fans from trying to slip their feet in at least once. Laughing

They look pretty interesting but I agree, when transformed, they don't automatically look like a pair of shoes you would buy.

I do not see how these shows remind you of the Evangelion sneakers. Shaped different and obviously different capabilities. The EVA shoes do look comfortable though

Ya I seen those last month when Tomy Takara introduced them at the Tokyo Toy Fair(Obviously I wasn't there, but thanks to the Internet I know about them).Still hoping for Hasbro to release them worldwide...

They probably remind him about the Evangelion sneaker because they're both shoes and they're both based from animations. They may not look alike, but there's enough reason for one to remind someone of the other.

I got the impression that meant something along the lines of those shoes probablly being a kids size, at the largest, or about half the size of a normal adult's shoe.

I saw a white mock up of these a few months ago, didn't think they would actually be made.
