They’re actually the well-known French fighting heels. Developed during the Napoleonic era, they were an infantry weapon which were much feared by the enemies of the First Empire. Sadly, the epidemic of sprained ankles caused by their usage by under-trained troops mitigated much of their effectiveness, and the failure of the charge of the Old Guard at the Battle of Waterloo, widely thought to have been caused by the use of these shoes, put the final nail in the coffin of this technology.

While people are making jokes.

Clearly what has happened in the Design process, was that a graphic designer dropped in the english for each country as "holding" text, and they would send those off to be translated. Someone dropped the ball and didn't do a final proof read and sent it off to be printed.

They may have realized after it was printed, and said "fuck it, we printed 30,000 boxes. We're not tossing in them in the trash now".
