Could be wrong, but it looks like a Yaktrax kinda thing. They're made to stretch over your shoe and give you extra grip when it's icy outside.

I didn't expect it to be SFW

[-] Landless2029@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yep. Looks like underwear and the pants off frame make it super misleading

[-] leadore@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

BTW those aren't very good. Get the ones that have actual cleats.

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Had a similar model, can confirm

I mean if you're brave enough. Metal would probably cut you.

Microspikes for hiking in icy conditions

[-] Landless2029@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Correct. More for just being outside in icy conditions. Good for boots.

Someone beat you by 30 seconds.

[-] snooting@sub.wetshaving.social 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah I’ve used them to good effect on winter hikes in the mountains.

Dang, so close to glory.

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Crampons, put them on your shoes to keep from falling on ice.

Sounds like the really unpleasant sibling of the tampon.

An ouchy thong.

[-] teegus@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 years ago

Randomly found one in the wild right after seeing this post.

I use these, much better

[-] Landless2029@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I stole this image from the internet. Loved it since they look like underwear and are laying next to pants.

Super misleading

[-] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Those are definitely trap underwear

Water bottle holder for bicycle?

Edit: Nope.

[-] Landless2029@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I mean you might be able to swing that.
