Call me an old cynic

Once you have put them on you will never go back.

Probably break your neck if you tried.

However, as I have said many times to my daughters, if you don't mind being seen wearing them, it is none of my business.

[Bar Wench]

Yep. Ugly as sin I know but sooooo comfy.

I have them in this colour too. 

Just one word... Gross...    My sister in law took several pairs back with her after their state visit, I just don't get them at all, mind you I have never tried them on, so I have no idea if one could actually walk in them, I would be just too ashamed to try. 

Whatever happend to sexy mules and "kitten" heels?

I was in total agreement with you and thought them foul in the extreme. Then last year I had some foot/ankle problems and the doctor suggested them. Once you have put them on  you will never go back.

I still have my heels and mules but they aren't terribly practical for walking in.  (See above foot and ankle problems.) However, once Mr Wench passes his driving test, (fingers crossed) and there is a car I am sure they will be worn more often.

Those ummm blue things, 

You don't like blue? Too subtle for you perhaps? 

They're repulsive Essex girl shoes, who do you think I am! 

DS my Dad just would have been pleased I moved out of the three inch heels that he denounced as tarty and me look like a hooker.

Serious head on for a moment, are they not made of plastic, and do your feet not sweat and so slip about? 

Those Blue things, dear barman, were not mules, nor were they "kitten" heels. Thsi is more the sort of thing I had in mind.

Now those are nice shoes!

You'd think they would be sweaty and slippy but they aren't really.

Mules

Mules

Sweaty and slippy? 

[Misunderstood]

What are these for - Kicking arse?     Anything else?

  Dear DS, I would love to be able to wear those, (the white mules,  not thoes blue pointy things) however like Bar Wench, I have a few problems, One knee, one calf and one ankle and just to be ornery, the other big toe, so I would not be able to walk in yours at all, I can just about manage "kitten" heals without a totter, which is most un-ladylike, and not  at all attractive. Heels like that I would have worn in my late teen and early 20's and I can just about remember "Back then", but if my memory gets any worse, I may not for much longer.

Now look here Ms Galore, I have no idea what rumours you have heard about me, but I am not given to wearing womens shoes, or virtually any other items of womens clothing.

My footwear of choice is made by Messrs Dunlop and would no doubt be described as 'calf length'.
