Remember the baby scrubbing onesie from earlier? This is for the parent's who actually want their children to live past the age of two. No more excuses for lazy people with these. I would hate it if this were your only pair of shoes. They might work at New York fashion week, or the East Village, but they don't seem like a great hiking shoe, that's for sure.
I have a limited knowledge on cleaning and balance, but from what I do know, this seems like it would be rather difficult. Only professional dancers could pull off this dusting move. Something tells me the normal person will end up making more of a mess. These definitely came from the '50s when people were banging out a lot of ideas that weren't so good. A lot of gnarly inventions came from that time.
