LukeVibertUK Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Stumbled accross these two of many clips on You Tube featuring the marvelous Bettie Page. There is something about the shoes featured in the clips that I think is just missing in more recent fetish styles of today....

derf Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Those black thick heel pumps are kick ass I wish you could still get them. She is very hot but by today's standards she is considered obese (FAT). Today's standards suck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegant Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Since I like Gothic scene chicks (and some of them are really simmilar to Bettie), my definition of attractivity doesn't go with today's standards . But DILLIGAS about this? Everyone is different and most of those "standards" are a crime against individuality. What is good for a goose, can be good for any gender!

Dr. Shoe Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Is Dita Von Tease the new Bettie Page? (Don't answer, it's only a rhetorical question.) Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeVibertUK Posted January 13, 2007 Author Share Posted January 13, 2007 In my books absolutly! I just think it is a shame that the style and dimension and look of the shoes havnt managed to survive the passage of time. Of course we still have high heel shoes but somehow these are "different". I remember a long time ago someone was trying to set up a company on here that was going to design and sell fetish footwear with a vintage bent to them and be very similar in appearance to those in the clips. I never did find the site/shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richy Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 If I get a chance in the next few days, I'll scan the 1958 catalogue that I have for Regent's Shoes, the Soho based store that made a lot of shoes for the theatre. It's worth looking at the styles that were available then. (And even proves that ballet boots aren't a modern day idea). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaLou Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I even saw in a book the picture of a pair of "ballet boots" of... 1901!! It was described as fetish boots unable to walk with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
