What is a kitten heel?

I need help in this regard, because I don't like heels either. I used to be able to get away with a Cuban Heel, which I could actually balance in, but these days it just makes my feet hurt.

I've GOT to find something to wear on my feet that isn't trainers or hiking boots! (I forgot about my hiking boots until Ed reminded me, but I only ever wear them in Wiltshire.)

Yesterday we bought some new boots for me. In the shop was a man buying some totally SM kinky leathah high heeled boots for himself.

Those look bloody awkward. How do walk? That seems a very strange place to put the centre of gravity for a shoe. The foot is such a well-designed machine! Why f*ck with it in that way?

What I need is what I used to call "Ballet shoes" which were like posh shoes on top, but with no heel at all. WHat are they called?

I will not wear cowboy boots. I no longer live on a farm, thank you.

The top two are close, but why oh why do they have the heel of the foot balanced on a little tiny spike like that? The heel of the foot is a precision machine, don't make it balance on a pin. I want something similar to that, but with the heel bit flat horizontally, rather than flat vertically, if you see what I mean?

Yes! much better! Bravo! I actually looked at the first of your "got these ones" at the Brunswick Centre, but HSA rejected them. :-( I really like the one with the buckle, but then again, I just like buckles.

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 15 October 2003 08:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Hooray!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 15 October 2003 08:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I bought some more shoes!! NOT the green ones I was after, but another pair by Fly - they're beige, with a kind of patch and strap motif and a discreet sole. If their webiste wasn't so appallingly designed I'd find a picture.

― Mark C (Mark C), Wednesday, 15 October 2003 12:08 (twenty-two years ago)

What about a link mark?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 15 October 2003 12:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I've been trying to find one!

Try here - be warned that the site seems dodgy and takes an age to load.

Nice. (it didnt seem to take any time at all to load up!)

two weeks pass...

I feel sick that I hadn't noticed this thread before. All shoe threads should send an automatic alert to me - can this be arranged?

― Lara (Lara), Sunday, 2 November 2003 18:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Mark C - your shoes look like they have been made my handicapped people.

Am I right in saying those shoes are green and yellow?

― Lara (Lara), Sunday, 2 November 2003 19:02 (twenty-two years ago)

And have soles made of marzipan?

She has several.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 2 November 2003 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

That would make them slightly more attractive.

We should just get an AIM chat going. NickJSouthall if you want me.

I have already said that I don't want you!

Rub it in, whydontcha.

Cheers then.

At first I was wary, but now that I've lived in London for almost two months those clan-of-the-cavebear-esque boots that every girl in sight wears are starting to look comfortable and appealing. (See PinkPanther's boots upthread for visual representation).

― Mandee (Jerrynipper), Sunday, 2 November 2003 19:14 (twenty-two years ago)

I fear those boots. They look comfy like fleeces look comfy but it's not going to happen is it?

― Lara (Lara), Sunday, 2 November 2003 19:18 (twenty-two years ago)

They would do my calves no favours.

― Lara (Lara), Sunday, 2 November 2003 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't know you had a livestock.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 2 November 2003 19:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Didn't you?

― Lara (Lara), Sunday, 2 November 2003 19:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I already said.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 2 November 2003 19:21 (twenty-two years ago)

So you think I'm a liar, eh?

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 2 November 2003 19:22 (twenty-two years ago)

pretty much like these. bought in Venice 3 weeks ago. But they give me blisters :-(

― Skottie, Sunday, 2 November 2003 22:48 (twenty-two years ago)

my new, much longed-for white clark wallabies give me blisters something awful. isn't the comfort factor a major reason to wear clarks? does this get better? anyone with clark experience want to comment?

― lauren (laurenp), Sunday, 2 November 2003 23:07 (twenty-two years ago)

no experience I'm afraid, but my boots are really comfy if that helps?! ;-)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 3 November 2003 09:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I bought these in NYC, from Nine West. It was practically two US pairs for the price of one UK!

Aww Vicky, hope you had a great time in ny, hope you can post a pic of your shoes!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 3 November 2003 09:42 (twenty-two years ago)

SHOES!!

I haven't bought any new ones, but I still like to wank over them in shops.

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:28 (twenty-two years ago)

thanks, pink! that is super-helpful as i sit here in pain!

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Mark C, how many shoe stores have you been banned from?

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

sorry, i am just informing those who doubted the slouch boots. (sorry you're in pain!)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

I saw some old runway shows yesterday where they showed the Chanel fall 2003 leather leggings; I really want them!

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:45 (twenty-two years ago)

kate, i just got some ballet flats that are real flats with rubber soles by rocket dog. i got them at a store in camden, but i assume they're available everywhere.

also, i'm with you on the comfort thing. my best purchase last winter was a pair of birkenstock boots. sounds sketchy, but i think they look nice. they're black dressy boots, flat, with birkenstock insoles. much more comfortable than other boots i've tried, and they look much more dressy than trainers or other boots. they were pretty expensive, but it was worth it, and they're holding up very well.

― colette (a2lette), Monday, 3 November 2003 14:50 (twenty-two years ago)

If anyone knows a location for pale pink shoes pls inform. I saw some in topshop which were pale pink with glittery bits!!! but they were only left in size 3. this is a chiz.

I am becoming a bit of a stan of the company - wish the shoes didn't take months to arrive, but I guess that's why you pay what you pay for them.

Trying to decide between these two:

Just ordered my first ever pair of Chukkas. I used to be sort of against them, but I need some kind of non-black, semi-casual office shoe that goes with a lot of stuff. Guess we'll see how they look in person.

― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 24 March 2022 23:34 (four years ago)

Yeah, those turned out bad and I'm returning them. Color is really ugly in person, less red and more tan than pictured, and I'm not sure the chukka shape suits me anyway (I feel like in pics they're always shown with extremely slim leg pants, jeans that are hemmed high, and I have thick calves and can't wear super slim-legged pants without looking like I'm wearing tights.

Seems like tons of mens shoes are out of stock rn. Supply chain I suppose.
