You Might Want to Rethink
Van Halen's Toe Jam

Eddie Van Halen's boots were made for trashin'.
Eddie Van Halen
The guitarist hosted an event at LA's House of Petals on Wednesday sporting a pair of boots that were worn down to the bone -- literally.

Eddie's taped up concoction gives new meaning to the term open toe shoes!

UPDATE: TMZ has learned that Eddie's kicks hold extreme sentimental value to the rockstar. The boots were the very first pair of footwear that Eddie was able to purchase on his own. He now wears them to remind himself of where he came from.

19. How sad. No one knows who Van Halen is anymore. Everyone is so caught up in the Paris Hilton/Lindsay Lohan/Jenn Anniston/Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie saga !

22. #19 Anon - how sad indeed. I saw Van Hagar about 20 years ago this week and man they ROCKED. Van Hagar has not lived up to the promise they had 20 years ago. What makes it worse is that Eddie isn't in the limelight, people are now concerned about the untalented boy bands and untalented spoiled "pop princesses". It's a shame.

24. you negative f******s who are bashing the "ONE AND ONLY GUITAR GOD" don't appreciate his music or talents and don't know what the hell you are talking about. It's obvious you have no idea about the man's talent or attitude towardshis profession and YOU are so shallow to make such comments. YOU people net to get a life and appreciate the finer qualities of life...
