Of all the Batman films that have been made over the years, the one some remember most is the 1989 Tim Burton directed flick with Michael Keaton as Batman. I’m more a Dark Knight man myself, but I do remember that Batmobile with the giant wings on the back from the 1989 flick.

Earlier this year, Dr. Martens released its first batch of Adventure Time boots, featuring heroes Finn and Jake. The latest boot in the collection is based on the mischievous Marceline. Your dad’s not the only one that’s going to notice you in these babies.

We really haven’t had any major upgrade to shoe tech in a long time. There have been some ergonomic improvements, but mostly our shoes are how they have always been. They look the same, feel the same and we wear them in the same way.

We may still have months of hot weather to go here in Texas, but in some parts of the country folks are already gearing up for cooler weather. That means you need to get some shoes lined up to wear around the house to keep your tootsies from getting too cold.

If you are looking for a new pair of shoes, why not go old school – as in old school video games. How about something that looks stylish and also celebrates Nintendo’s first amazing console? Something like these NES controller shoes.

Dress your current-gen console in alternate colorways with Clockwork Signage’s shoebox-themed skins. They have Nike, Jordan, Adidas and New Balance skins for both the PS4 and Xbox One. It’s not clear in the photos but the Jordan and Nike skins are available for both consoles.

My wife and I have this ongoing feud over shoes. She has a plethora of footwear and tends to leave them right where I want to walk. Each time I trip on a pair, I threaten to make a bonfire out of them.

Japanese company No New Folk are working on Orphe, a pair of shoes for performers. Each shoe has 100 individually controlled LEDs, an ARM Cortex microprocessor, a Bluetooth chip and a motion sensor that can be used to control another device with the wearer’s movements.

Yeezy Boost? Pfff. I’d rather have these mathemagical boots! These Doc Martens leather shoes are for doctors, princesses, Doctor Princesses and all Adventure Time fans. Morph into a browser and order the shoes from Solestruck. The white and yellow ones cost $150 (USD) while the black ones go for $130.

Instead of a sewing machine, Studio Swine used a CNC mill to make its eye-catching Meteorite Shoes. The studio used a 3D scanner to scan meteorite samples at the Natural History Museum. They used the resulting 3D files to create a design for the shoes’ upper.

Peter Capaldi is shaping up to be an amazing Doctor. He seems to channel several of the past Doctors, while adding his own unique spin to the character. IMHO, the writing could be better, but I love Capaldi’s Doctor.

Back in 2011 Nike released its official take on the MAG sneakers that Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future II. But those shoes were a limited edition and were auctioned off, which meant that for many of us they may as well have cost as much as a time machine.

These Tricera Hi-Tops from Archaix Laboratories are the single most awesome pieces of footwear I have ever seen. You can walk your triceratops feet around today’s concrete jungles, just like the real thing did ages ago.

PaleoBarefoot’s $265 PRONATIV chainmaille running shoes are not particularly stylish, but they should protect you from tiny swords and daggers should they be aimed at your feet. Apparently they are supposed to feel like you are running barefoot, but somehow I doubt that.

Looking for a new pair of kicks? A pair that will stand up to a bunch of running and jumping, kicking Goombas, and the occasional lava level? Converse has introduced a new line of shoes in Japan that are Super Mario-themed and come in two colors.

Designers draw inspiration from their passions and interests, and from random things that catch their eye. The former was probably true for jewelry and shoe designer Nixxi Rose when she came up with this series of to-die-for footwear featuring the likes of the previously seen Iron Shoes (inspired by the hit show Game of Thrones) and the Krueger Heels (which were inspired by – you guessed it – Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger.)
