Hobbes' nail boots
Plural: Unknown
This is a pair of old fashioned boots, stuck together with heavy iron nails that stick out from the sole, so they make a terrific amount of noise when you walk. They've also been wrapped in genuine fake tiger skin to make them look fashionable. Supposedly. You're rather skeptical that anyone would consider these things chic. If you had to describe them, you'd probably say they were nasty, brutish, and short. Yes. Short.
