Elegant Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 I've searched this forum a bit and stumbled across some pics and opinions about high heel oxfords (a.k.a. granny shoes, or governess shoes). Some were positive, but this style didn't appeal to most of people. I wonder why . High heel oxfords are a real turn-on for me, they're IMHO classy and elegant, and very androgynous- a "feminine" heel combined with a generally "masculine" shoe. Thus, at least for me, it's a fashion freestyler's perfect choice- could go well with a suit (or at least I imagine it that way ), either conventional or more avant-garde (e.g. a tux, or made of leather), jeans etc. I haven't got any "granny shoes", but I'd like to someday either black leather or black patent (to match very elegant outfits), with max 4" heels not to make them look too blatant. What are your opinions? What is good for a goose, can be good for any gender!
shyguy Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Why not go for it tubehead? If you like that style, and feel it will fit with your look in general, then just do it. I'm sure someone on this forum has already street heeled in Oxfords, but they're not my cup o tea He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes.

sscotty727 Posted January 20, 2006 Posted January 20, 2006 Shyguy, I was just about to say the same thing. Speaking of Oxfords, just noticed you got yours too now. Congrats:) Scotty
hoverfly Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 I love the look of oxfords, would I wear them out? You bet, just not my 5", some day I will get me a pair with a lower heel stiletto, or chunky heel. Hello, my name is Hoverfly. I’m a high heel addict…. Weeeeeeeeeee! 👠1998 to 2022!
Shafted Posted January 21, 2006 Posted January 21, 2006 To me, oxfords are the lace up boot that didn't quite make it. Sorry, but they are just not my cup of tea. Shafted, the boots that is!

I'm sure someone on this forum has already street heeled in Oxfords, but they're not my cup o tea Well, I'm just a "theoretical wearer" unfortunately and ain't got a pair, except for those in my dreams . I love the look of these shoes however. I'd like to buy some, but I have no cash and frankly I don't know of any places in Poland where I could buy some, and international transactions are too scary for me . Maybe some other time...

Dawn HH Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I grew up with a Mom that wore nothing but oxfords. They weren't my cup of tea then and they certainly are not now. If you like them, be my guest. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
