Sure it's on GIS, but you're going to need to provide some context. Is this a thing that actually denotes the thing that GQ article claims? You can find anything on GIS. I'm not going to stop because like 0.1% of nazis did it at some photoshoot.
If indeed this is a fairly common nazi thing, then I'll stop wearing them. I don't want anyone to get the wrong message.
I don't know, in a world of fake news where would you like my information to come from? You pulled your information from wikipedia for fucks sake. You know the site where anyone with 10 minutes can write what ever they want.
But here, I took another 3 minutes to find you the info.

If you don't think Pepe is a racist symbol, in both active and widespread use by white supremacists today, you haven't spent much time on the internet in the last few years. The fucking frog is in Gab (nazi twitter)'s logo, ffs. It's irreparably tainted.
See my other comment below.
I had never even seen that frog face until Donald Trump started putting the wacky old lady in her place he was running against.
You are correct, I do not spend much time on the internet looking at the news. I hate SJW and fake news the same. I have a life outside of steemit and this is my only source of toxic news.
So how about those shoes? You wearing them tomorrow? I have seen them in real life on low life Nazi's. I didn't need the internet to know facts I have seen in life. I have never seen that frog outside of trolling internet images.
Then why bother about the 0.0001% that thinks Pepe is racist if you think this photoshoot is just for show?
You're missing my point. I can do an image search for a cat with a CD spindle cover on its head and find one in a split second; this does not mean that cats commonly wear CD spindle covers on their heads.
I have heard rumors about nazis wearing red laces, but I have never witnessed it myself. For example, a GIS for "red laces charlottesville" turns up no evidence. I'm skeptical that it's a common thing.
I don't think it's very widespread, and I've been wearing red laces for decades because I think it looks cool as an accent color (I also always wear all black and have a red watch band and red hair)—nobody has ever come up to me and treated me as a nazi as a result.
If you can demonstrate to me that this is a consistent thing that nazis actually do on the regular (e.g with 2 or 3 recent news service photographs showing nazis doing this) then I will abandon it, but I'm not giving up a fashion I've worn most of my life simply because oft-repeated urban legend has it that "nazis wear red laces!"
Red laces are cool. Fuck nazis.
I apologize, but I am surprised that you did not know about this very common Hate Symbol. It dates back to the late 20th century, where it -all- started and is still known for its symbolism. I'm not going to Google it all for you but here are some links. Also, I would appreciate it if you would lower your flag in percentages and not flag the troll-post for the full 100%.

If it’s very common as you claim, you should be able to link me to 2-3 news service images showing it happening in the last ten years (and not just some random websites repeating urban legends).
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAN.
These images are all from the same LAW site.
Or here post on the ADL

Irrefutable evidence. The Hate Speech Database is the only reason Pepe is a "hateful" image. So it is very fitting the red lace Nazi boots are there.
I don't know. I figured I was done beating a dead horse if the ADL was incorrect and twitter and Wikipedia was where we learned from.
And about the no search results about Charlottesville:
