When my kids were in elementary school 20 years ago I used to use
shoes like that to threaten them when they were misbehaving. I would
threaten to buy a pair and wear them to school when I went to pick
them up. They knew I would do it; although I don't think I could have
found a pair that fit. But they didn't know that.

That got their attention.
