Ah, that brings up a question I've been meaning to ask. My sister has a new job where she is on her feet all the time, but does need to look fairly professional. Any recommendations for shoes that will keep her upright but still have at least some heel and look nice - and for a reasonable price?
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aerosoles, brenda, seriously. They are fab.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Pointy-toe shoes + lace trim on skirt hems = potential gothy pratfalls. It's worse if, instead of pointy-toe shoes, you are wearing pointy-toe boots with lots of buckles. Then you can catch your toes OR the buckles in the lace.
But isn't this where the hoops come in? Doing Victorian dress-up, I found hoops a blessing in that, unless I was running or doing something flappy and ridiculous, the hoops kept the lacy ruffled ribboned hems a safe distance from my feet. I can't even count the number of times I'd have gone ass over teakettle were it not for the safe distance imposed by the hoops.

You know, ita, I was going to let it go, in deference to sara's delicate sensibilities.

What is even happening?
Is now the time to bring up the Owen Wilson air bubble/schlong photo controversy?
I'm going to hate myself for this, but yes, at least to explain what you're talking about.

Well, yes, but I've kind of wandered away from hoops for everyday wear. I'm trying for a slimmer (but still ruffly-hemmed) look. Hence the pointy toes and buckles tangling in lace. But I've gotten pretty good at a skimming sort of way of walking that keeps toes, heels, and buckles away from hems.

Thanks, guys. I've had those in the past, but only the flats, so I didn't know how much a difference the heels would make.
