Can somebody explain where these come from?

Shoe factories

Last summer I found a Teva sandle out on the lake...

E36 M3 THAT'S where I left it!

somebody was driving by and realized that being a barefoot hippy is the way to go so they chucked their shoe out the window

the laces finally rot away enough for it to fall off of the wires?

Theory: Your hands are full. You need to get your keys out of your pocket. Shoes go on roof, you get in car and drive away.

Squid is riding his gixer in a beater, shorts and loafers, sans helmet. He tries to hit the rear brake, and his foot slips off the peg.

Someone took "giving him the boot" a little too seriously.

Local miata club sponsors the last two miles of the Dragon(highway 129 at the NC line) and we conduct quarterly trash pickups. It will just amaze you what we find that people have dropped including but not limited to money and clothing. Broken motorcycle parts dont even get a comment.

Taiwanese child labor?

a foot?

If the shoes were on the roof of the car why is there always only one shoe? No matter how far you drive the other shoe never shows up.

I'm also wondering why no one ever comes and picks them up. I know if I lost one of my shoes I'd go back and get it.

I see them every so often. Wonder, how come.

I see stuff like this a lot at the ski resort I work at. Lots of folks tired after a long day of skiing either leave stuff on top of the car and drive off or leave the ski box on their roof open as they drive off. We have a lost and found sale at the end of the year to benefit a local charity. You wouldn't believe the number of single gloves, boots, poles, skis that we end up with.

Road-shoes are a phenomenon best left unexplained. Just one of those things man was not meant to know.

kinda like no one knows why hot dogs come in packs of 10 and hot dog buns come in packs of 8...one of those great wonders of the universe!

And in unrelated news, demonstrating my limited psychic ability yet again, I knew that this thread would be on the topic of single shoes as soon as I saw the title.

I mentioned this before so sorry for the repost.

We’ve got 1,950 employees at my facility and whenever something gets lost, everyone gets a lost-n-found e-mail.

I once happened across a prosthetic eye at a garage sale. I bought it and strategically placed it in a restroom near our reception area to maximize the odds of my maniacal plan coming to fruition.

WIN!!! The next day, I, along with 1,949 other folks, got an e-mail calmly describing the item along with pertinent information intended to help individuals determine if this particular item was in fact there’s.

Bhahahahaha

I've been to a bunch of accidents where pedestrians (and motorcyclists) have been struck by cars. In almost every case, at least one shoe has been knocked off.

That is usually the least of their problems.

PIRATES!

(peg leg, remember?)

I've heard that a pair of shoes dangling from the power lines used to be a common marker of a drug dealer's territory.

That's no big deal, tell me where they come from when you see them just sitting in the middle of nowhere!

"Dum dee dum, driving through a deep gully in a cane field in the middle of nowhere...oh look, a shoe "

In towns near military bases, it's not uncommon to see pairs of boots hanging from telephone lines. It's a minor tradition among soldiers as the ETS (end of tour of service).
