WOW, Love all these shoes, especially the sandals!

Well, there is something to do with the less than perfect pearl--glue it on our shoes! Thanks much, Knotty!

[Amrita]

Those are pretty shoes - and I like the idea of the single big pearl on the sole nestled between the inside of the heel. I wonder what kind of pearl that is?

[Slraep]

That's some nice shoe stuff, Knotty. It's killing me. So many nice ones yet just as many I that can make fun of too. Arrgghhhhh.

Its all about Sex appeal.. wearable heels( while actually better for any woman in the long run no matter how healthy Wearable heels, do not make a lady "look as sexy" and the "legs longer" like high heels do....

Wasn't ther someone who "decked out" a pair of her shoes Flip flops I am thinking that looked absolutely fabulous. Just beautiful.. Sorry Coudl not find the link.


With permission I had planned on doing somethig similar with flats but it has never materialized... I could not find the shoes in my size (darn these air craft carrier feet of mine....)

Well, I'm a guy, but I must admit that a pearl on the inside of the heel is ... well... aesthetically pleasing. However, when standing, I very much doubt that they would be noticeable... or at all visible. None the less, the idea is quite a stand out.

[pearlescence]

I'm guessing fake pearls, and I'm wondering how easy to imitate....big fake, screwed to heel....(nailed would work loose?)
A sort of pearl spats thing might be fun, ankle bracelet with a loop also around the sole...
hmmmmmmmmmm

When the $hit hits the fan, I want to be in Pearlescence's lifeboat!

I think you're absolutely right about the nailed pearl working loose with all the impact from walking.

Impressed,
CarolK
p.s. And, Valeria101, you are right about that. The sandal has not been made that can contain my powerful flippers!

And to all of you that were trying to figure out how to wear them and with what - these shoes are not for walking! I have a friend who has a very naughty name for this type of shoe, and let me assure you that clothes are optional!

Pfft. That´s just a sad and very, very unfair view on things. Who decides what´s "sexy" or not? People in China a couple of hundred years or so (at least I think?) would say something similar about wrapped feet, people in Africa say similar things about those plates women puts in their lips and ears and people in Europe during 1700 (again, a "?"...) would say the same about women with a wasp like waist! But we (well, the majority of the people in the western world.) think that´s awful and I´m sure people will think the same about high heels in the future. It´s a sick ideal that ruins your feet totally and you can get permanent damages.

... but if guys was wearing corsets, used cancerogen make up, high heels, if they putted foreign and unatural materia in their bodies to look good and if they starved themselves in their teens I´d think differently. I´d still be outraged by it but I wouldn´t think it was unfair.

You were probably sarcastic or ironic but I just couldn´t help it. I feel very strongly about this. I could just go on and on but I´ll stop.

I feel strongly too.

The sad part is the "masses" Buy into what is "sold" to them by marketers (that is the who says what is sexy) teh Idea of sex and what is sexy appeals to senses and people do not think rationally when " in an arroused state".

Someone somewhere in a marketing firm figured this out and well look at the garbage we see.

I will stop too. back to the Shoes....

I would be "impressed" with Pearl adorned Hightops or Aqua socks.
Okay Now I am just being silly!

I think those Chanel shoes look very phallacious, esp where the pearl is placed.


Phallacious is a word my female only college was really obsessed with - and applied to anything tall (Washington Monument)or long like those Chanel heels- or things like hand guns - especially since we studied Freud back then.

I have always said I would never visit the White House if I had to wear panty hose or heels. Luckily, the occasion has never arisen where they'd want me to go.

[pearlescence]

They are defo F-M shoes, esp with that pearl. not for walking.

[waimeamomi]

Thanks pearlescence for giving us the proper way to say what I was only thinking and alluding to. That's exactly what my friend calls them.
