When I was a kid (in the 70s), there was this "fashion" for so called, "Platform shoes". Which wasn't really a good look, irrespective of whether it was womens or mens footwear.
That type of footwear looked like it was "orthopaedic", designed for people with foot or leg disabilities.
Now it so happens, that the FOL (father-out-law...... we're not married, just shacked up) buys the Sunday Mirror (part of the "Mirror group" newspapers) as his paper of choice on a sunday. Fine.
They publish a shiney suppliment magazine, that has pictures of "celeb's" (celebrities i.e. somebody worth celebrating - which amazes me as I haven't heard of most of them, and of the ones I'm aware of, most are "Z list"). Anyway, it seems that some fashion designing fuckwit, has managed to use these platform soles, and sometimes heels on the womens footwear. Convincing these women, who after all, seem to have more money than sense, that they look good.
Well, I've got news for you! They look shit! They make you look like you're wearing "Spastic shoes" (damn, I haven't used that phrase since I was a horrible bugger of an 8 year old). But it's true, they make you look like some sort of retard, to use American parlance.....
Sure, if you're not that tall, and want to appear taller, then heels are fine. A flat, thin soled, yet high heeled shoe, in the right shape is aesthetically pleasing in appearance. It accentuates the length and shape of the leg, but heavy/thick soles may you look like a "spacker"!
It could be that you think you're "cutting edge" in your fashion sense ? Well you're obviously not, because a lot of stuff that is labelled "fashionable" is ugly looking. It doesn't matter who designed it, if something is ugly looking, that's the way it will remain. In fact, if something is ugly looking and you're wearing it, just because some so called "famous designer", "designed" it, then it's even worse. It makes you look a complete fool, not only because that "thing" is ugly, but because you probably paid a shit load of money for it.
So well done, you fucking idiot. Just carry on, so we know that you're just another foolish "mug punter"!
