A Redditor's shocking post over the imprint left by his new work boots has led to the item's recall. Unsurprising, since the imprint resembles several little swastikas.

The imprints really could not be any closer to a swastika.

I've been needing some new boots. I think these will be my final solution.

Saw this on GMA. Cracks me up.

Clearly unintentional, but I don't think they have a choice but to recall them (or sell them to the AB).

One redditor brought up that the name of these boots are Polar Fox. Operation Artic Fox (Unternehmen Polarfuchs in German) was the name of a Nazi operation against the Soviets in WW2.

So what? They're boots?

Why recall them? Was this some grand conspiracy by a white supremacist to go to college, get a degree in fashion design, get a job at a boot company, design these soles as a grand elaborate troll on the Jews?

Recalling them is good business practice. Intentional or not, sales will be hurt because people won't knowingly purchase a boot that makes swastika imprints. Normal people at least, the OT will probably love them.
