Does this mean anything?

[CorCentral]

I was at a junkyard the other day picking up a hubcap for my van.
It seemed as two of the guys were picking on the new young kid and one of them said to him.......Your shoes are on backwards!

I've never heard this one. What's it mean, if anything?

Stay out of junkyards.

 

[pontifex]

just teasing?

or maybe he is clumsy or trips over things?

Either his shoes were on the wrong foot or they were trying to confuse him

 

[Ktulu]

Maybe they wanted him to stare down at his shoes at which point one of the other guys throws a punch?

Gunna hafta agree with pontiflex. Probably insinuating he is clumsy.

i agree. whoever said it probably meant the shoes were on the wrong foot.

They were talking about his breaks.

If you put brake shoes on backwards things don't fit right.
