Animal footprint shoes, including Bigfoot, leave 'mystery' tracks in snow
The urban legend of Bigfoot looks set to be revived in a major way with these sets of custom-made shoes, which leave behind enormous footprints similar to that of the mysterious sasquatch.



Unexplainable gigantic footprints in the snow have long been considered as proof of the existence of Bigfoot, according to conspiracy theorists.

But now there seems to be another more reasonable explanation.

Canadian sculptor Maskull Lasserre has created a series of quirky designs which leave the prints of predatory creatures behind them when walked through snow or muddy terrain.

The 33-year-old has been experimenting with the custom-made deceptive pieces of footwear in the Canadian city of Montreal where he lives.

Explaining the idea behind the unique project he said: 'I spent a lot of time in the Canadian woods and countryside growing up and I loved recognising the traces of animals that share that environment.

'Living now in the city, I found a strange kind of loneliness seeing only human shoe prints in the puddles and snow.

'This project was my way of introducing a sort of mysterious possibility to the urban landscape, for those who happened upon it.

'But I admit that I just couldn't resist making a Bigfoot track.'



He has been working for over two years on a series of 20 footwear designs based on a variety of animals including bears, moose and dear.

Maskull, who has to individually hand carve, mould and cast each animal's footprint, admitted he couldn�t resist wearing the boots himself.

'Beyond their presentation in exhibition format at visual art galleries, I do wear them myself on occasion,' he said.

'For those few who do notice them, and recognise the implication of what they are seeing, I am not sure at all how they react as by that point they are already behind me.

'I guess that they have the reaction I would; a moment of wonder at something that is at once inexplicable, and undeniable.'

The shoes are only currently on show at art exhibitions but the sculptor plans to set up a service where people can send in their own pairs of shoes to be animalised in the future.

Heck, all I gotta do to get that affect is take my size 14 shoes/boots off. My nickname with our church youth qroup is 'squatchie'....

So does anyone here think Bigfoot really exist- and if so, does this guy tick you off?

Only if we can bring our Cow dogs and Alligators.
