The Takashin Boots have evolved over the past few years from being a round toe back in 2018, pointed toe in 2019 and now as a hybrid lace boot - introducing the Takashin Tripwire Boots.

Designed to match our line of Post Apocalyptic wear, the extra-long lace is used as a tripwire for unsuspecting zombies. When not in use, the boot's six eyelet placement allows you to create creases on the trunk with the boot's collar open or closed.
Thread the lace through the eyelets as shown in the photos and pull down on both ends of the laces which will crease the trunk of the boot - then wrap the rest of the lace around the boot and tuck in the ends in one of the nooks and crannies.

If your Smart Doll finds themselves in a heavily populated zombie area, they can wear the boot plain and wrap the lace around their wrists instead for easy tripwire access and placement.

There is no right or wrong way to wear the boots - let your creativity decide. Boot Cuffs and molotovs sold separately.

A word of warning of the possibility that the eyelets may oxidize and turn green depending on the environment you live in. This is not so much a problem with the standard lace boots because the tongue of the boot prevents the eyelets from touching the vinyl leg. However, the eyelets on the Takashin Tripwire Boots may come in direct contact with the vinyl.

If you want to prevent oxidization effectively then you need to live in an atmosphere with little or no oxygen. Mars has 0.13% oxygen in its atmosphere and thanks to Elon Musk, it looks like we are getting closer to living on there - maybe wait until then to buy. 

The boot cuffs, Smart Doll, buildings are sky are not included. You will get a pair of boots and a pair of long laces.

Made in Minami Senju Tokyo. 

Reasons Not To Buy

1. Smart Doll boots will probably cost more than your human footwear unless you are one of those sneaker collectors - in which case your Smart Doll may get jealous and slap you.
2. While the lining of the boot is cream-colored to minimize the risk of staining, the surface of the leather does not have such stain prevention measures. As such, anything left in contact with the outside of the boot may end up staining.
3. Until we find a better longer lasting alternative to faux leather, Smart Doll boots are made of real leather and thus will have blemishes. The patina will develop over time but if you want an even more weathered look then you can lightly sand the surface or rub the surface with your fingers. The oils from your hands will seep into the roughened areas. Just make sure that if you just had a Big Mac to wash your hands first as thats not the type of oils I'm talking about.
4. If the product name is "brown blah boots" then don't expect the color to be the same brown in the photos - it can be anything from light to dark brown. Same for "wine red blah boots" - it can be anything from light to dark wine red.
5. Not great for water activities such as scuba diving or snorkeling.
6. Not effective for ice cream storage.
7. Will not look good with a wedding dress - unless the Smart Doll bride is planning on doing a runner after the wedding.
8. The soles do not have nonstick abilities like Teflon fry pans - if your Smart Doll steps in dog poo, then poo will do as stepped-in-poo does. If this happens, gently tell your Smart Doll to avoid purposely stepping in poo and look for a patch of grass to wipe the shoe on.
   
   Just make sure that a dog didn't previously visit the patch of grass, or you will end up adding another layer of poo that protects the first layer. If this happens, then you will need to wait until the first layer dries before using a chisel and hammer to remove both layers. Do not inhale while you proceed to de-poo the shoes.
   
   Also, if you didn’t gently tell your Smart Doll to avoid the poo, they may get angry and trample on your pillow before you can catch them (because the boots are so comfy they can run faster even when covered in poo.) If this happens, just turn the pillow over before you sleep.
