Dear Leader, shoe designer

Posted on October 13, 2009

Kim Jong-Il never fails to amaze those around him with his on-the-spot guidance. This time, he wore a pair of padded shoes for a week during the summer, apparently enjoying his extremely warm feet, and yet came up with a tweak to their design to improve their performance in winter. What’s the tweak? Add more rubber to keep the water out. Genius! We can now add “shoe designer” to the Dear Leader’s miles-long list of accomplishments.
