Is it kool? Got my eye on some e-bay treasures, but kinda grossed out at the same time. I buy used shirts & jeans all the time though, so what's the diff?

Just disinfect them real good to kill the AIDS and such, and it'll be fine, I'm sure.
Then again, you might die.
Nah, it's cool... as long as they're in good condition and you clean 'em pretty good.

It does depend on the shoes .
Vintage 4” alligator pumps from the '50s way cool
Vintage 15” engineer boots just like in 'Rebel With Out a Cause'' also way cool.
an old pair of Adidas not cool
last years Prada's ? HELLO... do you even have to ask?
Thats without going into who might have worn them before.
Which leads to other fantasies or aversions.
I shop at consignment shops, and have 7 brothers and sisters.
Wearing somebody else's shoes or clothes was how I grew up.

Second hand shoes turn evil and if you are not careful they will bite your feet off at the ankle.

i mean, that way, you'll never need shoes again, eh?

Yeah, but it'll get old slapping the footswitch on your favorite fuzz box with the nub you're left with!

Might be more accurate depending on the size of you former foot.
My huge feet are always pushing down some extra effects I don't want. I'll go to switch on my overdrive and BAM I get a little extra unwanted vibrato mixed in there.
