jmc Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 There's only one word for that: Clever! . . . but some people actually like that frayed out / worn / muddy / dragged-through-the-dirt look! Have a happy time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euchrid Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I had thought of trying something similar using these Velcro pads:- http://www.directa.co.uk/site/scripts/product_browse.php?product_id=3142&category_id=305 Not to hold the edge of long trousers off the floor but to keep them close to the bottom of the heel-tip to maximise opportunities for 'secret' heeling. It would probably pull free as soon as you sat down but since it's Velcro it can be restuck as soon as you're on the move again. I haven't got around to trying it yet but it should work a treat. Maybe I'll give it a trial during the Int. Heel Meet. Always High-Heel Responsibly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Shoe Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Er.... why don't you just shorten the pants by an inch then it wouldn't happen...? Just a thought...

Cinnamon Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hemming trousers that are too long is the tried and tested solution. Society seems to have forgotton the magical world of alterations to garments so that they actually fit properly. Still, if this person manages to get rich by providing a more expensive and intrusive solution, fair play. I can appreciate that some people may wish to hide the heel of their shoe/boot, but (and talking from the point of view of somebody who has made clothing for years) if any fabric is creeping under the heel as demonstrated in the little animation on the website, the trousers are too long. My other concern with this little contraption would be how it interferes with the fluidity of the fabric and how the material falls around the shoe. I have horrific images in my mind's eye of gatherings and bulgings that will do nothing to flatter the lines around the shoe and thus providing something that resembles an Ikea frame around a Monet painting. Rant over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalTips Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Perhaps a variant on something like stirrups would be more useful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
