I am an '80's tragedy......I really --want-- need these shoes....

[QueenieLovesEels]

I don't even know how to describe them in order to search but am obsessed with them.

the beautiful shoes

I love the lacing up the leg thing and wodgey sole. I need them.

Do your damnedest.

these are a slice of heaven too

like I said eighties tragedy

I have major shoe lust.

Anyone else with questionable taste/shoe lust?

Are they platform ballet shoes?

Ere ya go

Pretty similar no?

Oooh they're close! Def in the area. Has to be black though and not wood or I will stack it.

My hybrid 80's/gothic style is flexing.

I'm an 80s throwback too, (they had The Best Music/Clothes/Make-Up)

My DC are and when I tell them about skinny jeans with lycra (the original ones)
Tucker Boots/ Pixie boots
Donkey Jackets (oh yes)

I had shoes like the lace ones in pink, with a pink boxy cotton jacket ( think Miami Vice) , my skinny jeans (when I had a size 8 arse) the Human League Girl hair...............

no help at all just having a mind-wander.

I still wear pixie boots shameless and all sorts of inappropriate velvet.

I had to retire my elbow length leather gloves mind when this chap pervy old codger called me mistress and begged to carry my shopping in Sainsburys. That is where perception and reality crashed somewhat.

Did you peel the gloves off ,finger-by-finger and beat him with them?

Not in Sainsburys dahlink I was off duty

No I just laughed nervously and yet somewhat hysterically before shouting "down boy".

I then legged it.

bunny found this for yoooooooooooooooooou

gawjus

I may need one too. I think this one had the edge mind

Have researched flatforms with laces to no avail. Surely there is a pair out there somewhere?

If those two broads wore it then it's good enough for me

I still have my Tucker boots like these <a class="break-all" href="http://www.inthe80s.com/clothes/image.php?image=www.inthe80s.com/clothes/images/user-image-1196475723.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here.

I also kept my Kicker IKolors like this here except mine are beautiful pale lilac Nubuck, almost perfect and originally bought in Brittany to the envy of everyone in class when I proudly wore them back in 1979-80.

There are loads of plain black flatforms around, could you get some black ribbon and attach it? There are guides on how to attach ribbon to ballet flats :)

I love those tucker style boots.

There is always more room for shoe lust.....

Does anyone know who made the original flatform ones she is wearing?

I am not skilled enough to wing it with a glue gun.

try looking on this blog

Have I missed something on that blog.

Ta anyway
