GrayLion Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 ok folks, we have a few pix: http://213.79.36.113/Store please ignore the heel, that's just there so something is there. cheers Bernhard
Bubba136 Posted July 9, 2004 Posted July 9, 2004 It's a good start Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
GrayLion Posted July 11, 2004 Author Posted July 11, 2004 Folks, if you have any misgiving, post them now! Also what other styles would you like? Court shoes obviously Ankle boots? Sandals? I'll add ankle straps of different width and with a locking option. Any other styles com to mind?
Trolldeg Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 sorry, but I'd like a sharper angle at the bend of the toe...
Dr. Shoe Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 You can only make a sharper angle with a different last and higher pitch. The styles are a bit "samey" I've seen both styles before. Do something different and you'll have my order. I'd like to see a knee length pull-on "tube" boot coming right up to the knee-cap. Court shoes with a very low cut vamp and three skinny straps across the instep. D'Orsey pumps with an overlaid strap up the front to an ankle strap. If you want me to put a collection together for you I will! Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
GrayLion Posted July 11, 2004 Author Posted July 11, 2004 go ahead the last is there, it's what we do with it cheers Bernhard
GrayLion Posted July 12, 2004 Author Posted July 12, 2004 Before we start there - are you a shoe designer? I have designers, but communications are a bit slow and difficult.

mk4625 Posted July 17, 2004 Posted July 17, 2004 The "special arch" shoes at the orientvisual site are reminiscent of those shown in fetish magazines of the 40s and early 50s, except that the needle-thin spike does not become commonplace until around 1958. Michael
