Lady.B Posted November 13, 2003 Posted November 13, 2003 Hello, anyone here from germany? I am looking for overkneeboots, size 38-38, with 15cm heel and (important!) with open-toe. Does anyone know where I can buy such shoes? I am also interested in every kind of very high heeled special shoes.

Does anyone know where I can buy such shoes? I am also interested in every kind of very high heeled special shoes. Hello Lady.B, I expect both LEATHERWORKS and THE LITTLE SHOEBOX will modify one of their standard items to have an open toe. All purchases are custom made to order anyway. Is that for your long toe nails? Leatherworks do a 5.5" heel rather than a 6" one though. The Little Shoebox web site has only been up a very short time and is incomplete so far, it could take a few more weeks before it is very useful. You will need a fat wallet or the income from your web site to pay their prices! http://www.leatherworks.org.uk/ http://www.thelittleshoebox.com/ _ There are quite a few members of this forum from Germany and the Netherlands, perhaps more read it than post regularly. /I /I

There is a little more to the process than just chopping the toes off. I have described it before but if there is interest I may either dig it out and add a new posting or do it again.

Firefox Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 I thought the previous discussion was about shortening the toe whereas this is making an open toe whle leaving the sole length substantially the same.
Dr. Shoe Posted November 16, 2003 Posted November 16, 2003 Yes we did that as well. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
