Michelin Man High-Tops

The Diet Butcher Slim Skin 'Isetan' Keeps You Strapped from Head to Toe

My Michelin Man cosplay costume is now complete thanks to the Diet Butcher Slim Skin 'Isetan.' This shoe features two incredibly large Velcro straps and some zippers thrown in for good measure. Daring to say the least.

People tend to have a love-hate relationship with Velcro. I am on the fence, as I see Velcro as a deterrent to learning how to tie your own shoes. Regardless, the Diet Butcher Slim Skin 'Isetan' is made of premium leather and will certainly stand out in a crowd. Check out the gallery to see if these super Velcro shoes are right for you.
