Interestingly the techno was created by teenage ranch hands from impoverished towns. The shoes themselves used to be handmade by the person wearing them and they'd have shoe competitions amongst themselves in the ranches.

Amy: they're available on Amazon, but ridiculously expensive!

One of the actors at the stop of the clip when they offer suggestions is Hrithik Roshan and he has two thumbs:

Y'all know its a very Bollywood thing to be accepting of a physical deformity. Megan Fox doesn't ever show her toe thumbs much.

Well, if you said they make an interesting sound, who'd doubt it?
Besides, the idea that Mexico is electronically-minded enough to have a techno scene gladdens the heart!
