GrayLion Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Hi all with a bit of luck I will be getting to work on heels with a modeller some time this week. Now, so far I am thinking 3 shapes - basic stiletto, rather thin. - slender Louis Heel, like in the 50s - wide louis heel as in http://www.fetis.ch/en/shoes/mules7.htm - now which one would people prefer? the shape as in xx25 or as in P512N? I am leaning towards XX25 myself. Also we got some new prototypes from the designers: Dorset Pumps and Brogues :-) cheers Bernhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne_Louise Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Bernhard, for me DEFINITELY stilettos (no surprise there then!) and as slender as science and engineering can manage! Also if the heel could be curved in a little at the back (underslung, I think you called it) that would be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JinxieKat Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Both the stiletto and the slender Louis heel. I love the shape of the Louis heel but am not a big fan of the chunky style. Are you still planing on making the oxford style? I hope so! JinxieKat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayLion Posted July 6, 2004 Author Share Posted July 6, 2004 I do indeed. I currently have some prototypes for oxfords that are brogues, ie all those fancy ornaments on the leather. For a male version see here: http://www.eshopone.com/smx/mens-shoes/oxford-brogue-dip/ I am rather chuffed with them :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
