Re: [h-cost] Steampunk shoes, anyone?
I have 2 pr of Oxfords very similar to the Jade referenced one-- only less ornate. I purchased them at a Clark's shoe store a couple years ago. They have a 2 inch heel I think. Kathy Gillies ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

I like these: Steam Pumps. Turbines! Pistons! Step to the rhythm of the Steam Age in these rivet-studded pumps: cross-strapped, gear-buckled, and trimmed in brassy appliqués. http://www.pyramidcollection.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=P99023%206source=igodigita lpagetype=Home and these: Lady Corsair. Rule the seas in these: boldest boots on the Spanish Main! Bronze buckled straps and flamboyant bronze appliqué distinguish these seven-league stridersknee-high, on 4½ spike heels and ½ stack soles to cut a dash wherever you sail to adventure. http://www.pyramidcollection.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=P89956%2010source=igodigit alpagetype=Home :) Franchesca : -Original Message- : From: h-costume-boun...@indra.com [mailto:h-costume- : boun...@indra.com] On Behalf Of Lavolta Press : Sent: Saturday, October 29, 2011 11:18 AM : To: Historical Costume : Subject: [h-cost] Steampunk shoes, anyone? : : JADE Steampunk Shoes by Metropolis Shoes : Two tone Bronze and Brown steampunk shoes with copper colored heels and lace-up front. : http://www.sinistersoles.com/Metropolis-Shoes-JADE-Steampunk-Shoes-p/s- : metropolis-jade-shoes-brz.htm : : VINTAGE Steampunk Boots by Metropolis Shoes : Spectacular steampunk boots with Victorian flair.

Re: [h-cost] Steampunk shoes, anyone?
fascinating. anybody know what you would call (for googling purposes) the JADE cut shoe, if it was plain black leather, also lace-up top, with a plain heel about the same height? looks SO close to the funny little shoes my farm/ranch grandma used to wear, all the years I ever noticed them! they were her every-day, working in the farmyard shoes (slopping pigs, picking eggs, milking, etc, etc) she was quite short (around 5-foot or slightly less? and Grandad was at least 6-foot!), and had a very shapely ankle and calf, even if her torso was a matronly fire-plug. boy do I remember those shoes. the period I remember them from would have been ca. 1950-75??? she was born ca. 1900. they were probably a catalog item... thanks, just in case! chimene On Oct 29, 2011, at 11:18 AM, Lavolta Press wrote: http://www.sinistersoles.com/Metropolis-Shoes-JADE-Steampunk-Shoes-p/s-metropolis-jade-shoes-brz.htm http://www.sinistersoles.com/Metropolis-Shoes-VINTAGE-Steampunk-Boots-p/s-metropolis-vintage-boots-b.htm Fran Lavolta Press Books on making historic clothing www.lavoltapress.com www.steampunk.com/LavoltaPress ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
