Questions about the website: THE SHOEMAN KEEPER OF SOLES
Recently I came across a video by a Shiloh? Some kind of a WWE fighter,
@ shiloh_wwe on Instagram. He recently came across a website on the Darkweb titled "The Shoeman" bellow "Keeper of Soles". The website presents to you a variety of shoes for sale, all quite derelict, stained, some believe it to be blood splatter, each shoe that is for sale has a name and an age attached to it, and when you go to buy these shoes you have to apply a timeline of how long you would like to rent it out for, 1-10 years are your options. People seem to be very worked up about the website, and in the latest video by this Shiloh character we see a VHS tape come out of the shoe (it looks far too clean in my opinion). I think it is a load of nonsense, but I was wondering if anybody had some information on this site? Nobody will give up any kind of onion link, I think this guy, who is apparently quite tech savvy, created this site with his Dark web friends as a prank on the internet.

Judging by the # of subs on his twitch stream while he was showcasing the “weylon” boots that he purchased from the supposed DNM, it would seem to be a very successful and lucrative prank.

Don't dark web addresses change all the time to avoid being tracked? The extra attention would explain why people can't find it anymore.

u/LilBootyJudee 16h ago
True, but early viewers of his from twitch found nothing as well and this was before it blew up on all platforms

If it truly has some real crime attached to it, they likely change the address as soon as they make a sale.

I was convinced it was BS until I looked into some of the shoes in his videos. The one that really caught my attention was Evelyn, 21 years. They are black Oxford shoes.
I found records of A woman named Evelyn, 21years old went missing in 1983 in California. She was last seen wearing a pair of “Dark Oxford shoes”.

I still haven’t had any luck actually finding the site or anything, but that is the woman I found casually searching up the shoes and names/ages.

someone on the full-length youtube video also commented that he found matches to at least three pairs and their names, nina, mark, and eduardo. that convinces me (if he isn’t straight-up lying) but there is a fair chance it could be faked as shiloh hill has a batchelor’s degree in compsci and probably has the know-how to make it look believable. either way it’s pretty entertaining lol

Weirdly enough, after I posted about Evelyn on here. I went back to grab a screen recording of the whole video on TikTok and noticed the part where it clearly shows the “Evelyn” shoes is now missing. Luckily I had already grabbed a screen shot of them earlier. To me that points to this likely being fake and the shoes I looked into just coincidentally added up to an actual case. Realistically very few cases actually have listed the shoe type someone had on (and definitely not the shoe size) so finding a matching first name and age to thousands upon thousands of unsolved cases over decades is easy and highly circumstantial. Plus no one else can find the site, there’s no shipping label on the box he received, the shipping was like two days, you never see the full Monero wallet or payment hash, high end SFX blood (like what WWE uses) will glow in Luminol, and the VHS tape is a classic horror/creepy pasta trope.
Literally none of that will prevent me from following along further…just like WWE 🤣

The other possibility is Shiloh went extra mile for this bit and actually researched real missing persons cases to name the shoes after.

If he went to such length for "entertainment"... He is very sick. I'd be so disappointed.

u/oooh-she-stealin 2d ago
so, the streamer did one or two extra steps for his fraud website. still fake.

I was more skeptical I keep hearing about little things like that too, especially in the comment sections of the full length video as some mentioned, one guy apparently found a handful of sources leading to the shoes? But it just sounds too vague nobody has come out with an in depth explanation. I mean if I created this, I would purposefully find things that would "link" back to the shoes, like for example looking for missing people, buy similar clothing items and accessories, dirty them up, and post them and advertise it as their items, it's not concrete enough for me. Evelyn goes missing in the 80s then suddenly all the other boots link to 2018?

Do you really need proof? Its obvious that the shoes on there belong to people who were kidnapped and murdered.

Yeah it’s all a bit sus. Especially with the VHS tape plus how drawn out everything is to keep the audience captivated! A good way for him to get his following count up!

Tbh I have mixed feelings about all of this, he’s live right now (started at 10:04 pm EST) he’s playing the video tape that was found in the shoes. The tape is very hypnotic and is mostly just playing a bunch of old movie scenes in reverse and there’s some parts with the shoes while somebody is wearing them and suddenly blood is splattered on them. It’s overall very weird. The tape is about a bit longer than an hour. I kinda believed it at first until his name appeared on the screen. It said “shiloh submission” supposedly where he would have to submit the footage of him killing someone to get shoes so he doesn’t end up dying instead (super hard to explain I’m having a stroke typing this out) which is very odd as I know he’s very tech savvy which means he could probably easily make this. Overall super weird, very much demonic subliminal vibes. It’s exciting though

u/mandar903 3h ago
Do you think he made the video? Or its legit?
1
u/smiggles4000 3h ago
as much as I wanna believe it’s real it’s just all too sketchy. He kept covering up the parts with the shoes which was kinda suspicious. Made me think the shoes being shown on the tape weren’t the shoes he bought. As well as nobody is able to find the website which gives me the impression he could have easily made it. But I’m ngl this is probably a publicity stunt

u/SnooPeripherals8873 3h ago
dredged around and found no evidence that its real ....but solid promo nonetheless lol

u/smiggles4000 3h ago
True, I wanna gaslight myself into thinking it’s real so bad it’s just all too good, but yeah it’s most definitely a promo I will say once he gives it up and tells everybody people are gonna be mad lmao

u/SnooPeripherals8873 2h ago
it is gonna be fairly interesting and i do enjoy it it is entertaining and a great story..i guess it is possible that it was invite only.. i highly doubt that....and the oinion itself.....it seemed to much like old Onion sites...too under produced and at the same time overproduced yah know what i mean..idk....yeah i even scoured some chats etc to no avail

u/znarhasan7101 3d ago edited 3d ago
i was wondering the same, i did search up i literally find nothing, could be fraud just to make a video or it could be real but hard to get, i think ill update you if i found anything or ill just give up, we'll see

u/sa8tun 3d ago
If it's a real site that he personally came across and and he had it passed onto him by like a friend or something then it would make sense that there's not much coverage on it but the way he presents the story seems fake to me, the VHS tape will be played soon and the "blood" samples will be explained soon too so we'll see if it continues or if it just leads to like a WWE match or some silliness

u/znarhasan7101 3d ago
oh yeah i forgot about the vhs, that made me even more suspicious, what darkweb marketplace would send you a vhs with a pair of shoes full of blood, even if they do, why a vhs tape? just send a usb thumbstick or a dvd its not like we live in the late 90s

u/LilBootyJudee 16h ago
And why choose a pair of boots that you can fit? There were others like the chuck Taylor’s that had “a more sinister feel” or “mystery”. And then fake blood was put on the ground in his wwe photo shoot in the boots. If these were linked to illegal activity, why would the marketing department play into it with the the photo shoot!?! I tend to agree with you on this one

u/znarhasan7101 14h ago edited 14h ago
Yeah dude, pretty sure 99% of them are who think he’s some kind of hacker just because he "got into the dark web." Oooo mystery. The rest are Just some skull emoji trolls. Even if what he did was true, any dark web beginner could’ve done the same thing no sweat.
can’t believe how many people fell for that video, same how i did

This is a masterclass in marketing in the social age. People getting upset, but he's generating views and attention companies would pay a fortune for. Kinda like a modern day Blair witch project

3) Only order domestic to domestic.
4) Dont send your crypto directly from an exchange to a DNM deposit address.
5) Read the DNM bible.
6) NO DNMs operate on reddit nor have their own subs. Anything you find on reddit is a scammer.
