I must say I love the Vivienne Westwood for Melissa Skyscrapers, they look perfect with a wiggle dress!

I just had a look at the site, and am amazed. These shoes are entirely molded plastic. Something real life
Barbie would wear!

I think they have even made minature versions for Barbie!! Yeah they are amazing, they are made from recycled rubber and plastic and they are scented with bubblegum... mmm! Plus they have a really good size range!

See, I'm the opposite. I love for my stockings to show where the toes peep through, and to show my pedicure a little. But I have not worn pantyhose since I was 13, I wear stockings only, and if the shoes are open toe, I've only worn sheer toes or nets. My favorite is to wear black fence nets with peep toes, you just have to adjust the netting once you have them on so your toes don't poke through it.

Has anyone bought the Jitterbug from Plasticland, and can you tell us how they fit and feel?

I have these in red. The Brand is Chealsea Crew. This style is Alexa. I got it in a size 40 and it fits well. I wear 8 1/2 M in US sizes. I got the Marla (I think) in this brand in a 39 and they were too small. They are comforatble if you aren't standing for a long time. I wore mine to a concert which was a horrible mistake.

Dead Pan Diva those in red would be to die for.

Hey lookie here- these adorable shoes for a lot less at another site.

$51.45 + shipping by weight, which, chances are, is under or about the same cost.

Right here at Sinister Soles

Been drooling over these for the last year on eBay!

They are so-ooo comfortable!

I keep looking at these I know they are not really vintage style, did platforms get this high in the 1940's apart from those worn by Carmen Miranda?

 

[Highball Emy]

They got pretty high, especially in France, where women refused to let a WAR get in the way of having good shoes. But they had wooden soles usually, with a much clunkier heel... and the foot definitely a lot more covered up!

I was afraid of that. Lesser priced shoes, man made materials, so rarely comfortable. sigh.

They have them in red. At plasticland.com. And in black.

I came across these today and think they look quite vintagey! I'd love a pair...

from Clarks.

 

[Marla]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing, LinaSofia. That type of heel has to be the most aesthetically perfect of all heel shapes.

Gorgeous. Clarks really are producing some wonderful shoes.

 

[Mrs Chaddsley_Corbett]

Oh I Remember the Clarks Crepe Soled "Brogue T Bar" sandals from my childhood, meanwhile I have ordered a pair of these, not the best quality I know but, but I love the proportions, just the right height of heel and platform

I love shoes. And I especially love those shoes! I have to have them though I've got 300 pairs of shoes already. Luckily I bought a new shoe rack that fits my entire collection!

 

[RodeoRose]

TicTacToes has these cute shoes that I quite like the look of, for a practical daytime shoe:

I'm always a sucker for kilties ♥

 

[Miss sofia]

I have a similar pair, which are my all-time favourites. They are actually tap shoes. I bought them in a charity shop. I only noticed when i got them home and actually walked on my wooden floors with them. (You know how it is, see a pair of great shoes at a silly price, you run to the cash desk with them before anyone else gets their mitts on 'em). I had them re-soled but had the tapper put back on too. Loads of fun to had tapping my way up the road to work in the mornings!
