"It's up pretty high and they've used like a washer nail so it's kind of professional. Unless they stood on a real high truck...that's the only way I can think of. They probably done it real early in the morning when nobody is watching," Foster added.

There are some rumors. Social media is buzzing about the bizarre sight.

"There's a lot of jokes stirring up about the electric men and the rates going up. It's a cheaper way for them to get up the pole, but I don't believe that."

For now, folks will just have to wonder what exactly are those shoes doing up towards the sky.

We talked to Middlesboro Police about the shoes. They do not believe there is anything criminal. We are told they just think someone is trying to be artistic.

1. What does this mean?

From the article: "There's a lot of jokes stirring up about the electric men and the rates going up. It's a cheaper way for them to get up the pole, but I don't believe that."

I don't get it......

3. Either that or there's some kind of underground promotion for a drag show

at one of the local bars.

I prefer them nailed to telephone poles than on some poor woman's feet.

That would be a sacrilege.

[u4ic]

23. A natural evolution

shoe tossing is so passé

[Jim Beard]

25. Someone just wanted to give people something to talk about.

I know of a farmer that has land with a playa lake next to the highway. When the lake was dry (As it usually is in West Texas) he made wo high mounds of dirt and on one mound, he put a Gorilla statue which is about 6- foot tall. On the other mound of dirt, he put a Dinosaur that is smaller. I ask when passing through if it was a local school mascot and they said no, it was just something for people to talk about. It is in Crosbyton, TX.

26. Why do people hang their sneakers from telephone wires? n/t

39. Perhaps it was someone seeking to create a wedge issue...

but they were confused about the platform so they just spiked the discussion.

[eridani]

41. They will probably flip-flop on the issue n/t

[pinboy3niner]

43. I hate it when they do that. I wish they would just Choos one and stick with it. nt

Hope it's not something that would make a good episode of Criminal Minds.
