Somebody's Converse Shoes

Well, these were supposed to be for baby Alex, but his feet grew faster than I anticipated and by the time I finally got around to crocheting these hilarious shoes, his feet were too large.  Whoops.  But I have big plans to alter the pattern to make them bigger!  For now, I'm trying to decide what to do with these ones:

Sonia is modeling the shoes as potential mittens since poor Alex couldn't model them for me on his feet.....

I found the free pattern for these cute shoes here on Ravelry.
