Sarah Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 and these and these One of these pictures is of any heel wearers dream wardrobe
Bubba136 Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 The picture of the "shoes racks" is taken either in a shoe store ( called Heels on the racks), a theater costume department /prop room or Imelda Marcos's closet. :rofl: Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
High Surprise Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 I simply love the shape of the feet in the metal (rather strange looking shoes). I think arches like that look sexy on a girl!
Tahira Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Nice shoe selection to try on. I would spend hours in that closet like she is admiring some shoes on top.
Ionic Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 Do you think the steel tripods were designed by Saddam Hussein's secret torturers??? /I /I
Ionic Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 Here is a nice unusual mainstream shoe with a metal heel just sold on eBay, late bidding sadly too strong for me to get involved. Purists who dislike platforms might not like them too much because of the thin wooden base: Described as 'not for doing the shopping in', I'm sure our galls would have taken up the challenge. They were exactly Laurie's size too, so she just missed out on a present! /I /I
jo Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 I saw those shoes in a number of independant teenager-clothing type shops back in the Summer of 2001. That curved metal heel was securely fixed to the wooden underside of the shoe with several ordinary looking, but quite substantial, self tapping screws. I only ever saw one girl actually wearing them on a night out.
Ionic Posted October 19, 2003 Posted October 19, 2003 I bow to Jo's superior knowledge, I don't even try to compete!! /I /I
zathrus69 Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 I bought a pair like these (but in black) in a discount store in Leicester last year. Allowing for the platform the instep was equivalent to a 5" heel and they were reasonably stable - despite the strange heel arrangement. I never wore them out (I never go out in my heels - still trying to overcome that little hurdle) and binned them just a few months ago to make way for a proper pair of 5" heels. Nice shoes though.

Ionic Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 ......and binned them just a few months ago to make way for a proper pair of 5" heels. Zathrus Binned them??? You should start flogging your surplus stock on eBay, you might even have made a profit on these and funded some new styles nicely!! Of course some of us have shoe museums rather than collections... /I /I
zathrus69 Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 I know, I know. Having just lost my Ebay virginity as a buyer I feel pretty good but buying is one thing, selling is another. I had to lose the shoes quickly so binning them was easier. Zathrus
Rob Posted October 21, 2003 Posted October 21, 2003 I had to lose the shoes quickly so binning them was easier. Or at the very least given then to a charity shop so that money would go to a good cause, and someone else would still have the pleasure of wearing them.
