Here is the poll about the shoes!
If you're not familiar with what's going on, please see the following posts that explain the situation and what the options are (contains photos with alt text!):
Which patches should I use on my shoes to cover up the rick and morty logos and characters? Please select two choices.
(note: I don't like rick and morty and don't care if you do. Please don't reply guy talking about how you love adult american cartooning)

So next is what to do about these hideous logos? We have patches! These are the patches I have that at all match the shoes and would make the most sense to sew on given the colors.
We have:
I've placed them on the shoes so you can get an idea of the side of each patch and how it might look, but might go with yellow on the blue and blue on the yellow. I'm not sure. The next post is the poll!

Today @cloudymax and I went to the Footlocker Outlet by the stadium and we both bought some of the "Not From Here" Puma shoes. (If you like sneakers, you know these always look really cool) My colors are typically black and blue and my pop colors are typically orange, yellow, or green. I found these and fell in love, but didn't notice the Rick and Morty logos on the backs of them. I saw the "Rick and Morty" on the shoe box, but failed to notice the backs of the actual shoe, which is thankfully the only place they actually show up.
I hate Rick and Morty. That's not up for debate and I'm not interested in your opinions if you love that show.
I am interested in what to do about the backs. I have several patches I could sew over the Rick and Morty logos, and I want Fedi's opinions on which patches to use. Please see all 3 posts in this thread, as the second post will have examples, and the third post will have a poll!
First off, here's the shoes, mostly unaltered, as I got them for €65 at FootLocker Outlet. (Max did try to scrape off the rick and morty logo from the yellow shoe, but it was really hard - we also tried acetone and isopropyl alcohol to no avail)

Hey y'all, for those that don't know, I do deliveries, so I'm on my feet a lot, and I'm already wearing out my shoes, so it's time for new.
No real feet problems beyond the obvious sore feet from walking so much (over 8K steps a day according to my watch), so good padding or room for inserts is important. I'm thinking possibly some manner of boots maybe for durability and traction.
Being frugal, I'm looking for the best bargain, rather than the cheap stuff I've been getting. Cheap is easy to find, frugal not so much.
