A shoe with what looks like Legos for the heels??? I hope that does not go main stream fashion.

The first picture, the guys with the hats, look like a bunch of Harry Potter clones that escaped from a tacky golf course. 

Hairy legs with a kilt is appropriate if you are in a Highland infantry regiment like the Back Watch or the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders, but then again you would be wearing combat boots, and all of your mates would also have hairy legs. 

Spikemike probably has the same problem I have with open toed shoes. My toe nails are total disaster areas and are cringe worthy to look at and need to be kept hidden.

... and I see that there is also a setting for 'heel height' - 'High' or 'Med'.   

I take it that that the heavy cycle is for your combat boots.

Awful thought on this.  Santa Claus in fur trimmed short shorts, fishnet hose, black knee high stiletto boots, and don't forget the dark sunglasses.

i weirdly like them 

They would make nice shoes for the bedroom, but not outside.

Shoes that belong on a cartoon character. Not to be worn by a real person.

Depending on your body shape, a dead president like Nixon or Theodore Roosevelt is always a uncontroversial option.

I have never heard of anything quite this extreme, I don't really see how they think they can control people's behavior that closely, like forbidding the crossing of legs. Even if there is sound science to it, how are you going to control that? You can buy all the fancy ergonomic stuff in the world, but you can't make people use it.

As a former (and maybe future) "safety guy" at work, I like to think I strike a good balance between putting everybody in bubble wrap and practicality. The creation off OSHA (or its equivalent elsewhere) was a major step in protecting the ordinary worker from unscrupulous employers, but like most things of this nature, it can become absurd. Having said that, I have to admit that I kind of laugh at "office safety." I know there are serious concerns, some of which have been addressed here, but honestly, I work with my hands over my head much of the time, and there is always the potential of being killed violently by chance at any given jobsite, particularly projects with large equipment and machinery.

I regularly deal with MSHA- the OSHA people that deal with mines and quarries. Yes they do go to extremes. The inspectors are very full of themselves. I have only met 2 kinds of MSHA inspectors- those who think they are gods, and those who know they are gods. 

Unless there is something offensive in the background, the background is irrelevant. It's the heels up front that counts.

The third video kind of reminds me of Harpo Marx chasing a girl around a movie set. 

Age is just a number on the scorecard of life. What counts more is attitude, health, an how you look and feel in what you choose to wear. If you have good health, have a positive attitude, look and feel great wearing your heels and clothes,  then age becomes irrelevant.

Inspired by Japanese footwear? 

In Silicon Valley that's how you can spot East Coast salesmen and religion recruiters- they wear suits and ties.

There are lies, bigger lies, and then there are statistics.

If you want to prove something with almost no real facts to back up your argument, use statistics.

She probably has Christian Louboutin on speed dial on her phone.  

Good grief. It's not even Labor Day yet, Haloween stores are popping up, and worse some stores are stocking and selling Christmas stuff. It kind of messes up the seasons.

Can we at least wait untill after Labor Day, before we thinking about Haloween. Better yet wait till at least Vetran's/ Armastice  Day before we before we put up the Christmas decore.

SF, you are not likely to find guys wearing heels in Fresno or Gilroy- those towns are way too square. Santa Cruz maybe. Berkeley and San Francisco- yes. 

Kind of has that 70's retro disco look. Did not like that style back then, nor do I care for the look now.

Special Holiday Shoes now available at your local shoe emporium.

The appropriate footwear to be worn to an ugly holiday sweater contest.

Those worn out heels are an accident just waiting to happen. From the condition of those boots, she should just toss them.  They are not worth the cost of repairing them.

Definitely an indoor shoe only. Not the kind of shoe you would want to get wet or get any mud or snow on it.- it would probably smell like a wet dog when drying. 

Football star Joe Namath stared in Haynes Beautymist  pantyhose commercials back in the 70's. He had great looking legs. Until you saw the gym shorts, you would have sworn it was a woman's legs.

Ones judgment should depend on the location and event. If I see her in worn out shoes and clothes working in her garden, or shopping for paint at Home Depot, that is appropriate and expected attire and has nothing to do with her personality. However, if I first see her in those shabby shoes and clothes at a party or as an employee in an office, her personality and habits are suspect, and I would not care to meet her or get to know her personally.
