    Throw a Shoemerang

    Strawbees Team

    A boomerang is a tool thrown consistently spinning on an axis and eventually returns back to you. While your everyday pair of shoes protect your feet, the shape of the soles also make great airfoil blades for this tri-blade, shoemerang. The cardboard material makes this boomerang design lightweight and stable enough to glide through the air back into your hand.
