A name used for any shoes falling under the crepe soled family. Not only are they crepe soled, but sound of footfalls is somewhat more insulated, enabling the wearer to 'creep' up on whatever. Creepers used to be more of a British punk style of footwear, but it doesn't matter because they're comfortable and they look fuckin' cool. To see a quick example of these shoes, watch Sid and Nancy, and look for the guy with the weird red shoes.
