Talking What To Do With These??? Ideas Please!

Got these brand new off ebay. As you will clearly see they are 2 different models, the left foot being a Dickies Cleveland and the right being a Dickies Tradition both in size 8. The seller was absolutly fine with it, he refunded me and told me to keep them.

Apart from searching for a 'one legged people forum' i have no idea what to do with them.

Your suggestions please

I bet you had to look twice before you actually realized - yep - they are actually two very different shoes.

I can't think of who would need them to be honest, even if someone has only one leg they usually have a prosthesis and still wear two matching shoes.

check the sellers other items to see if you can get their opposites in another auction, repeat the process and you have two pairs of boots for free!

I represent the interests of Heather Mills (you may have heard of her)
She has expressed an interest in taking one of them but for the minute I can't remember which one she said she wanted.
I'll find out and get back to you.

Mmmmm, you don't want to see them both on together

Just a thought, if we take hodgy0_2s advice below you could have a nice garage for the 500

Maybe give them to a school, or performing arts centre, I am sure they could use them for something 'creative'.

Or like has been said, fire them down the charity shop, someone might be pleaded to own them, regardless of their non matching identity.

You have two chances of hitting Gordon Brown with them - I suggest you throw them quite hard!

Looking like the only 'sensible' solution.

As you got them from E bay and the seller let you keep them I would file them in the bin as I they almost certainly snides. Got think of anyone who would want one snide shoe

No garden, dog would just eat it

Don't think i could walk far in them, just tried them both on at once and they are different heights, it would look like 'i' had a false leg

Tie their laces together, throw them over your nearest telephone line, and bask in your attemp to make your street look a little more ghetto "blood" hahahaha.
