Re: [lace-chat] Red shoes
Dear Pam, I have in my closet right now a pair of red cfm pumps with stiletto heels. I haven't heard that saying of Joan Crawford's since the early 70s in London. God, you brought back heaps of memories and laughs in one fowl swoop. My CFM pumps were navy blue and worked a treat every time :) :) Love David in Ballarat I only bought them about 3 years ago, but I'd been waiting 30 years to find the right pair that fit me. When I did, they were mine!

I have never had a pair of red shoes but I did once as a young teen have a pair of green sandals with wedge heels. Can't imagine wearing anything like that today.

Re: [lace-chat] Red shoes
I have to admit that I have a weakness for red shoes! I have a pair of impossible stilettos in red suede with a suede rose on the toes. They're actually too small for me now, but I had to have them, and bought them on summer day (on sale) and thought that my feet would be smaller in the winter. I have a pair of gardening shoes (plastic? rubber?) which are red... I have a wonderful pair of red suede shoes that are like Birkenstocks but have a strap that makes them look like Minnie Mouse shoes (fat Mary Janes!); When I was working, I had a wonderful pair of heels that weren't more than 1 1/2 high, but had tapered heels, so they were dressier than flats. I loved them dearly and wore through two resoles. They were a wonderful tomato red as opposed to cherry red. At some point, I ran across another pair on sale (out of fashion by then, but I snapped them up eagerly...) but they were the brighter red. Nevertheless, I wore them down to nothing too. And of course I had to search forever to find my wonderful red rubber boots that I wear in the snow!! My red shoes go with my red hats and my purple (dresses, caftans, whatever...)!

Re: [lace-chat] Red shoes
Hello all, I never had a pair of red shoes. I did have a pair with very high cork platforms which had white sandal straps on them. (I'm trying very hard to remember.) And I also had a pair of very high black boots which my parents hated. My daughter is working on her own style (she's 13) but I don't think there'll be any such shoes in her fashion future.

Re: [lace-chat] Red shoes
I never owned a pair of red shoes until my mother bought me a pair of red shoes when I was in my early 40's. She was the girl who liked color in her shoes. My flashiest pair of footwear was a pair of knee high lace up purple suede granny boots with 2 inch heels that I bought in 1965. My favorite shoes were a pair of real (leather not vinyl) patent leather mary jane's with a 2 1/2 inch chunky heel They were gorgeous and fit like a dream (and made in Italy) I fell in love with them in a newspaper add (full page spread) and my mother ordered them over the phone and they FIT. I got them for Christmas. What a wonderful present that was. I wore them till they literally disintergrated. That was a sad day sniff. Cearbhael - Original Message - From: H.

re: [lace-chat] red shoes
Ahhh -- Red shoes! You just had me on my knees checking the back corner of my closet, looking to see if I still had that pair of red velvet flats. I had them for at least 40 years but, as my feet expanded with old age, I could no longer wear them. They were delightful to wear to Christmas parties. Sadno longer there! I must have given them to the theatre or something. I think I remember that they had little diamond jewels on them.

Re: [lace-chat] Red shoes
I've had a couple of pairs of red shoes in my life - I *like* red shoes! But the winkle picker, 3 stiletto description reminded memy DH and self were walking past ladies shoes in a shop late last week, and he commented on the absurd pointy toes on display there. And the ridiculous height of the heels. I gently pointed out that the toes were not as pointy, nor the heels as high, as on the shoes I wore to our wedding 38 years ago! What amuses me is that each time the fashions return, the generation wearing them this time think they are the *height* of fashion and smartness, and that they've invented something new!!

Re: [lace-chat] Red shoes
I never had a pair of red shoes. I did have a pair with very high cork platforms which had white sandal straps on them. I had a pair like that! They had two inch platform with six inch heels, and I wore them on my first date with my husband, who is a foot taller than I am. I wore them until they crumbled, years ago.
