Shooey- why do bespoke shoes have such tight waists? Is it a style attitude? Is there a comfort or structural advantage?
Come to think of it, why doesn't the waist part of the sole follow the weight bearing (lateral) part of the foot?

shooey - just on that waist bit and support.
I remember years ago before I had orthotics to support my foot I used to experience RM Williams Cuban Heeled (elastic sided) Boots as the most comfortable thing to wear. I think they had very narrow waists and were high heeled but it seemed to give a lot of support.

I have a couple of pairs in a cupboard somewhere but I'm too lazy to pull them out and look at the waists.

Remember seeing it somewhere, but could anyone please remind me what exactly is formby's law?

Ostentation through simplicity, so to speak. Something that's gorgeous because it's perfect even though it's plain and no nonsense; like an MGB GT or Molly Ringwald.

Nothing more exposing than turning-up for a meeting in a pair of long pointy shoes with a green patina at world class levels and a very thin slippery sole. It states very clearly, that not only are you likely to be scatty and haven't got a clue professionally, but you are also unlikely to fit-in with a team on a mission.

When it comes to shoes it has to be the most traditional and the best quality you can afford i.e. sturdy brogues, wing-tips, the odd Gibson/saddle oxford and some ankle-boots thrown-in, all reinforced with a suitable number of dainite soles for inclement weather. British Northampton makers of course and American makes.

And nothing says, sheeple and herd-man, than a pair of Ecco or half-shoe-half-snicker offerings that one sees all to often these days.

But if you're already extremely tall, aren't the heels going to turn you into a giant?
