Romanian cobbler comes up with size 75 shoes to ensure social distancing amid COVID

As the world continues to accept living with the COVID-19 pandemic, bizarre ideas and creations to implement social distancing continue to emerge from across the globe. In one such amusing invention, a Romanian cobbler designed shoes of size 75 in order to prevent people from walking too close to each other. 

Grigore Lup, the Romanian shoemaker behind this invention hails from the Transylvanian city of Cluj. According to him, these long-nosed shoes being dubbed as 'Pinocchio shoes' would help maintain social distancing between people. Available in  European size 75, these shoes which look more like scuba-diving fins will ensure a gap of at least one-and-a-half meter between people. People took to Twitter amused over this bizarre creation asking if it would be even possible to walk in such shoes.
