Top 24 Funny Keywords Searched On Mastershoe

Today I felt like tapping into the more funny side of retail, and what better way to do this then to marvel at some of the trivial and humorous search terms customers enter on our website. I have looked back through our search data for the last 2 months with the intention of giving our readers the top 5 funny keywords. But truth be told I was pleasantly surprised by the large number of smile summoning keywords people have tried using on a footwear website, and after many laughs I simply couldn't narrow it down to 5, or even 10 for that matter.

We actively check our onsite search data and 'redirect' terms to the right place. These can be typos such as sketchers (instead of skechers) and Doc Martins (instead of Dr Martens). The number 1 keyword with the most spelling mistakes from users is Havaianas.

Anyway, back on track: Here we have the revised and improved

Keyword Entered What We Think It Was Supposed To Be My Thoughts/Opinion
Easter Egg N/A This query was searched 13x over 2 weeks near Easter. Do they know something we don't? Shoe Easter Eggs anyone?
Marker Pen N/A Marker Pen and Sharpie were searched very close together, so we think its the same person. Maybe they wanted to write there name on there shoes
Fake Timberland Timberland I'm not sure why anyone would 'want' to purchase Fake Timberlands, maybe because there cheaper? This user would have been left dissapointed as we only ever sell real genuine products.
Youtube N/A This had the lowest search volume at 2. Maybe an accidental copy and paste from the internet browser
Mens HighHeels N/A This query had us in stitches. Possibly a thesbian acting as a dame in panto
Nike hoes Nike Shoes An obvious typo where the 'S' is missing from shoes. Still worthy of my list
Pool Cues N/A I can kinda understand this one. Our original trading name was 'Sportshoe' so its no unreasonable to think we sell sports related equipment.
Lettuce N/A I honestly have no idea. Possibly an unusual colour of footwear that we don't stock?
Racing Cat Puma Speed Cat This style has many different misconceptions. Racing Cat, Fast Cat, Driving Cat, Super Cat
Yay N/A Not much to say about this, except 'Yay' back
Sheep Sheepskin Either a farmer who doesn't know where to purchase livestock - or someone looking for sheepskin footwear?
Blunt Stone Blundstone This is a perfect example of how a simple mixup of letters can produce a surprisingly funny result.
Copper Fist Iron Fist Mixup of metals
Money Off N/A Can't blame you for trying, if only discounts were that easy
Poison N/A Another unusual style colour maybe? Or a lost witchdoctor
Original Penguin N/A This originally baffled me, until I discovered the website 'originalpenguin.co.uk'.
Frozen Heels N/A My initial thought was abit farfetched - heels made of ICE! Or could they mean the disney film 'Frozen'?
Beyonce N/A Unfortunately we do not currently stock celebrities. Or does Beyonce own a footwear brand?
Toast N/A No idea, possibly another unusual colour
Maneater N/A Ahh.. my colleague has revealed this customer was likely looking for the 'Iron Fist - ManEater' style, and not a maneating plant.
Blue Lemonade N/A Aside from being a 'cool' colour for lemonade - we're not sure why you would search this on mastershoe
Foldable N/A Possibly looking for the roll-up Hunter wellies?
Sexy Flop Flop Flip Flop No comment
Moon Boots N/A Boots for the Moon?
