SleekHeels Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 So what's with the word "funky"? I always use it in the sense of cool and stylish, but I've seen others use the word with far less flattering intent implied (apparently it means "foul-smelling" too). Any other adjectives people associate with heels? If you like it, wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heelster Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 CFM comes to mind. That's what the wife calls them which is kinda funny as she never is wearing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleekHeels Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Vertiginous Now that you've mentioned it I remember seeing "vertiginous heels" especially in newspaper/magazine articles. We often drop the "high" from "high heels" and just call them heels, but I rather like calling them "high heels", I think it sounds more exciting. There's something similar about "strappy sandals" rather than just "sandals" (though I'm not sure that "strippy sandals" has the same allure). The other one that springs to mind is "slinky slingbacks". If you like it, wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meganiwish Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 But one needs to beware of too much alliteration or risk seeming too Letterland. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letterland I was never able to read Lucy Lamp Lady without hearing Lily Marlene The original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleekHeels Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Maervelous Megan, it seems that Susceptible SleekHeels has succumbed to Luring Letterland! I had no idea such a place existed, I shall have to watch out for that. (Thanks for the video clips). Other adjectives.... "Killer Heels" is one that never really appealed to me (nor with music, as in "killer tune"). If you like it, wear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
