Shoes

What shoes are we all wearing?
Im loving platforms at the moment.
I have 5.5 wide feet so cant buy just any shoes so Ive been shopping old Clarkes lines on ebay either new or in new condition. They went through a platform phase in 2000 before they severely cut back on their half sizes and width fittings.
I bought these today and absolutely love them. New condition.
They will look great with my long kick flare jeans.

Years ago I’d have walked home a couple of miles from a disco wearing platforms and we wore platforms in school.
Seventies!
They’re lovely but it makes my feet hurt just looking at them now.

Its weird Im 64 but I still find I can do distance in them. They are very comfortable.

Those are cute! I wore platforms around about the mid 2000, I loved them. I lived on a steep hill, and I deserved a medal for the skill it took to walk downhill in them, but otherwise they were so comfortable.

I wear boring shoes now, but my clothes tend to have books colour or pattern.

@Gettingbysomehow That’s great enjoy wearing them.
