Have I got shoes for you
As much as I enjoy slaving over a hot camera to bring you the latest in kitten heels, radical lace configurations, and flip-flop-technology, sometimes I have to throw the floor open to the hoi polloi: readers shoes.
First up we’ve got the latest from the former colonies as a young chap
who refuses to be named1!11! spotted this delightful 1970s sofa / stack heel hybrid at a Jason Mraz concert.
Mr Mraz (if you’ve not heard him, imagine Savage Garden wearing a cool hat)
“is extremely popular with Asian girls, most of whom were shod in the below fashion“.
And boy, if there’s one thing we know about fashion, it’s that where Asian Australian girls lead, the world will surely follow.
Next up comes Lawrence from Computer Solutions, a fine IT company who promise* not to send the naked photos they find of you on your laptop to the newspapers.
Lawrence saw this gladiator bondage sandal at a recent fashionable event for fashionable people, and if the shoe doesn’t raise your eyebrow, the nail polish surely will, hold tight:

*promise not legally binding.
Finally we’ve got Dingle from the increasingly popular (although let’s be fair, the only way was up) Dinglespeaks.com. He was at a flea market with his missus when they found some tragic 5RMB plastic shoes held together with thread and sheer bloody-mindedness.
“Here you go Swiss, these are more your thing than mine” he says.
And I think we can all agree that yes, they certainly are.
If you’d like to send me some shoes, shoe-related items, or videos of your voice cracking all over the place as you try and sing really high, the email address is up there on the right hand side.







I suspect he tore through his flip flops with those talon-like nails as he was pulling them on
My grandmother had that pattern on the first one as a tablecloth.
The second pair is definitely a Jimmy Choo wannaB! Plus girlfriend needs a pedicure! Those are like crazy long toe nails!!!
All kinds of shoes .

The second pair are pretty nice shoes! And her toenails are fine?
The nails are a little scary – obviously not a TaiTai with a Dragonfly membership.
I do have to say the first pair are pretty hideous and are not helped by the black woolly tights.
I think you should consider a ‘Shoe Tuesday Special’ on the ‘white or silver shoe and black tights’ fashion trend of Shanghai.
Hey hey hey, what happened to the other shoe I mailed you?
Or do we have to wait till next week?
@MissJane, knowing the owner in question, I’d say those would probably be real ones if they are Jimmy Choo.
Theme for next week –
The Devil wears Plada?
@Namen – you’re serious? He/she should have those diseased toenails ripped out. With a nail clipper. In a Jason Mraz concert.
Nice to see another fellow with fine tastes from an ex colony. Rule Britannia!
I regularly see this girl who has the most sluttiest hooker heels I have ever seen in Shanghai, no hang on, all of China. I can’t even remember what this girl looks like and quite frankly I couldn’t give a monkeys as her shoes do it for me every time. next time I encounter her (and it is ‘encounter’ not ‘meet’ – she’s all Star Wars) I will take a picture of her shoes while she’s wearing them. Basically they are 70’s style stack heels with a dash of porn star in the mix. White in colour although I have seen her wear polka dot versions. Just sheer loveliness.
Can you just imagine the smell from the tragic 5 RMB flip-flops ?
Wow, these Universe of Shops comments talking to themselves are fairly awesome.
T – I am glad it is not just me. I thought I had completely lost something – like my sanity. Very confused by the split personality shopper talk.
Its all in the cause of improving their SEO ranking.
iSpy with my little, no wait thats something else, has a Poster linky thing on the front, which has the URL for the commentator.
As Home Shopping is now on the front page, their link for their website is now getting indexed by Google, and so their SEO (Search Engine Placement) ranking improves.
I would never do a thing like that at http://www.iwantone.cn where you can buy all sorts of interesting stuff (except shoes, I’m not into those just yet), because that would be immoral… and we don’t do immoral at http://www.iwantone.cn
Did I mention http://www.iwantone.cn ?
Lawrence ‘totally not a spammer honest’ aka 小杜.
As Mr Swiss hasn’t put a Shoe Tuesday up this week (Whats the matter, don’t they wear them in .uk? ), I should point out that Jimmy Choo is in Shanghai at the moment, and will be prancing around in his high heels tomorrow night at M1nt*
*Possibly sans the prancing.
I have been saving some good shoe fetish^H photo’s for you all, and will ship them off to Swiss as soon as I can remember to copy them off of my EyeFone.

Sorry Lawrence what was the I Want One website address again? Gosh Mr Home Shopping is fast catching me a stop commenter. I may need to step up the spam attacks on iSpy myself!
Oops, no idea why I have a US flag there. I’m definitely not using a proxy of any kind, honest!
Fantastic advice there Home-boy. Do you have advice on how to clean blood off my carpet? I had a little accident with a chainsaw and the plumber.
@David – Wait, I find that hard to believe.
You have carpet?
Most people in Britain can’t afford carpets it’s true. I stole mine from the Royal Family.
