THE AMAZING BEER-PROOF SNEAKER

IT’S THE PERFECT Oktoberfest accessory: liquid-repellant sneakers! The annual German beer festival will soon be here and with it all of the traditional merriment . . . and messes. Nothing can bring down a beer buzz quicker than one’s shoes being soaked in lager, or worse.  Now you don’t have to worry about soggy shoes as Adidas has released a limited-edition beer-proof sneaker that is liquid-resistant! Made in Germany, the München shoes are inspired by the traditional lederhosen worn at the event and feature a full grain leather upper, leather lining and embroidery. The design of the leather foot lining is in keeping with the red and white checked Oktoberfest-style shirts, while “Prost” is emblazoned in gold on the side of each shoe. The shoes are made from the “finest leather with DPBR coating,” which allegedly stands  for “durable puke and beer repellent”. Should you feel this is a must-have accoutrement for Oktoberfest, or just for life in general, the shoes are available on the Adidas website for about $24O.
