sab: that's funny! it brought back a memory from grade school. i did tape 4 soda pop cans together per foot, and made a pair of wedges, then taped them to my socks when i was attempting to costume up like the guitarist in Kiss! i tried walking in them and of course they fell apart under me. much laughter from my friends, who were all Kiss fans at the time.
later i asked my older sister if i could borrow her sling backs which had a 4 inch heel and a platform of some sort. she agreed and got them for me. she had given up on them but i took them and wore those. this goes way back to grade 7! we had our stage show set up in my buddy's recreational room and i use to watch myself in the window reflections, those light blue checkered 4 inch heel sling backs on my feet.
they were size 7, so this is a long time ago!
what i remember about her giving them to me: she handed them over and said: try them on.
i said: no way!!!
what a fool. i should have right then and there.
(i kept the shoes with me until my feet out grew them... what a sad day that was!)
as for self made shoes: i'm going to give up on the idea of extreme heels and platforms and try something lower, like maybe 7 inches, and use old black leather i have here and see what i can come up with.
