A Lithuanian designer team has made a series of edible, wearable bread shoes that can be purchased on their site. They seem like they'd be comfy house slippers.

Advisor: Are you an Internet addict?
You spend a lot of time online. Maybe it comes with the job. Maybe your idea of a perfect weekend is to be perched in front of your computer reading blogs, buying shit you don't need on Amazon, Tweeting and Facebooking, or surfing YouPorn. But at what point are you considered a bona fide Internet ... More.
"Star Ship" Chandelier Boldly Lights Where No Lamp Has Lit Before
Yesterday, my husband went hunting around the Internets for a new dining room lamp. This is one of the options he presented me with. Only $189. Cheap! Sadly, no Battlestar model is available. Or a Death Star. I might have gone for a Death Star. Star Ship Chandelier from eLights... More.

I hope they meant "edible & wearable" as an either/or proposition.
Yeah, edible goes out the window once they touch my feet.
shame they weren't made from ciabatta bread (lit. "shoe" in Italian)
In a related story, Kraft announced a new line of spreadable toe cheeses.
Reminds me of an old David Byrne quote that I think was on one of his tour t-shirts for the Grown Backwards.
"David Byrne supplied journalists with written synopses of dreams he had while making his new album. We asked leading dream analyst Quentin Watts what they say about him.
Byrne dreams he is in a public toilet. There is urine on the floor, and it soaks through his shoes, which are made of bread."
Loafers.
Ahh, so they're loafers. ;D
Artist HR Giger did this for a shoe-themed party in 1975:

Meh, they won't exactly be toasty warm by the time they get here from Lithuania.
Hans Christian Andersen would have a fit.

Hera seems to think bread shoes are a pretty comfy idea.
In Italy, apart from Berlusconi and mandatory crucifix in all classes and public spaces, we have a kind of bread called ciabatta (cha-ba-ta) that means, well you guessed it, house slippers. A few cuts here and there and it shares with the real thing not just the name but the looks. Berlusconi's still there but our bread gets funnier and funnier :-)
bunnery is the lowest form of wit.
@Massimo: Oh Dio! I've known the word "ciabatta" for bread and "ciabatta" for slippers all my life, and I never made the connection until now.
Grazie!
Dough! I knew it was too tasty for me to have been the only one to rise to the occasion and baguette for myself. That's a rye sense of humor you have, sir, flouring for all to digest here where it is much kneaded. It is my deepest convection that if I had not so recently been baked, I would have been golden, but this batch goes to you, however you slice it.
Didn't Dali do this?
Do you spread toe jam on them?
lord, the crumbs all over the place.
Ah yes, nothing promotes good hygiene like putting your sweaty feet in to a warm pair of yeasty loaves of bread.
If those are comfortable I'll eat my hat (which is also made out of bread.)
Seems like they would keep your feet nice and toesty.
Mmmm.. I'd like a peanut butter and toe jam sandwich please.
Imagine how comfortable they'll be once that nice fuzzy mold starts growing on them. Then they'll have cool colour patterns on them too!
I cannot tell you all how often I have looked at a loaf of bread and thought, "I must put my feet inside of it..."
Useful for sourdough starter.
I can imagine someone waking up one bright sunny morning and sticking their feet into their comfy bread slippers, only to discover...
THE ANTS HAVE FOUND THEM!
These'd go well with those French cheeses that smell like feet.
After wearing these shoes for a day you'll have cheese bread...
"Chausson aux pommes"?
This puts the "bun" in bunny slippers!
HAHAHAHAHA! That is a GREAT one. :)
didn't h.r giger wear loafers at some party back in the 70's? i recall reading about that in some book about him :)
warm, just out of the oven...mmm....
Here is a video with the Norwegian comic Kristoffer Schau doing something similar - and if you wondered, he is miming to Dutch gibberish....
