Today in WTF: Underwear For Your Feet

Capezio — a company that’s famous for making dancewear — also makes a little something called “Thongz FootUndeez.” It looks like a tiny pair of underwear, but (as the name implies) you wear it on your foot, with the crotch part between your toes. I don’t know anything about dance, but I guess the point of something like this is to protect your foot when you’re wearing uncomfortable dance shoes, the kind that hurt so much they make your feet bleed. So this actually makes sense. It even makes sense to make them available in cute colors and patterns (Flowers! Leopard print! Skulls!) instead of just boring, ugly beige. But the only problem is that you have a miniature pair of underwear on your feet, and that’s just  dumb.

Maybe Capezio knows this, and they made these things on some kind of company-wide dare. I can picture the marketing team cracking themselves up as they decide that the product name should contain not one, but two, gratuitous z’s, and then writing ad copy explaining that Foot Undeez “provide protection and security where it is needed most.”
