Gnome Boots

We already wear cows, alligators, and snakes on our feet; Why not Gnomes? Ever since the first Gnome sighting in early 1975, man has always struggled to find a use for these bizarre creatures. They have served as jesters, bowling balls, garden ornaments, and even spokesmen for Cash Call… Isn’t it about time we wore them on our feet?

Now that dream can become a reality with the stylish and affordable gnome booting system. What makes our patented system work is the weighted backpack worn by each of the gnomes. This backpack is perfectly counterweighted along with the head mount to hold about 150 pounds on a gnome's frame. The system works best for gnome's under 3.5 feet, and causes the gnome no pain. Heels slide into the foot strap atop the gnome's head, with the greatest of ease, no shoehorn required. You will be the envy of your block with these sleek, practical, 100 % genuine gnome boots (gnome's sold separately).

These boots were designed for running but can serve multiple purposes. Don’t trust the shower? Gnome Boots work great under water. Whether rock climbing, playing soccer or just lounging around the house, Gnome Boots are perfect for you. We do not condone gnome abuse, keep your gnome's happy, feed them many Reese’s Pieces everyday (because like E.T. gnomes love Reese’s Pieces, it‘s a Fact).
