I swear, those scriptwriters know less about "goths" than I do.

Anywho, back to the topic. Darkangel29, those are some sexy boots. They're like my beloved Converse, but with heels stuck on. Nice!

I like to wear flip-flops that I spray painted gold.

Not so much "goth" as it is streetwalker fashion.

I do have to give the makers of Malcolm in the Middle props for knowing that goths listen to Ministry( cuz Hallowe'en is everyday, babies!). It definately looked like someone had done some research.

What? I'm not a thread-jacker!

I have the Demonia 8-inch platform. and the demonia combat-ish leather-made strap one. That one looks rreeaallly kick ass and can be used either for a Goth-y look or a punk look.

The heeled one can be used for a EGL look or female cross dressing goth look.

I love my New Rocks. They are the only club-worthy boots I own that are comfortable enought to wear for hours on end. My cheeper club boots have to be worn until my toes go numb before I can walk gracefully.
Otherwise I have a set of lace-up riding boots that I use for everyday wear. It's amazing how much of my wardrobe comes from the western store.

I think it's funny that you ask if you "need" New Rocks. In my experience, very few people in America have even heard of New Rock boots.

I love my New Rocks. I would wear them every day if I could.

I've been wearing dirty converse for 2 years. Other than that i have some polka dot flats. I'm not very big on shoes: I waltz around barefoot.

How can anyone dislike New Rocks? They're so comfy & make you a hell of a lot taller & ...fierce-ish when you need to be (bad reason...but I look quite young for my age.I need them as a defence!) I wear mine to school & never-ever tire of them.But I can't really wear them with delicate dresses.So I'm saving up for some knee high, black patent platform boots.They aren't much better but I felt that it was time for some girly boots.

I blew some of my Christmas money on these man killers. Why did I buy these again since I hate vinyl? Oh yeah, because they look good. Coffin heels, gotta love them.
I’ll post some pics of me in them when I’m uber bored.

Who cares if your shoes are goth, as long as you like them and they match your style, they're cool.

I don't like New Rocks either, I just prefer simple shoes, like ballerina's, or elegant but comfortable boots.
Some shoes that I really like, and that do look rather gothy:

Just wear whatever shoes you want and like. I have a pair of new rocks, but i have them becasue I love them, not because they are "goth". They are beautiful knee high stilletos with pointy toes and purple flames and lots of chains.

On the more girly side I have some gorgeous knee high black satin boots with a very thin stiletto and ribbon up the front, and I want some very high red court shoes as I gave mine away due to them being too big.

Just wear whatever you like and is your style. If you like converse, then wear converse, if you like high pointy heels like me, then wear high pointy heels, just do it because that is what you like, not because it is supposedly more goth

I pretty much wear these black velvet stilettos when in the Victorian mood and combat boots when not trying to be fancy. But wear what you like, Darling.

I dislike New Rocks, with a passion. Let me count the ways...
1) If I'm going to wear heavy branding then I want them to pay me, not the other way around.
2) I'm tall enough already, why would I want to be any taller?
3) I've lost count of the number of friends who have complained that their New Rocks have fallen apart after only a month or so.
4) If you want to buy a decent pair of boots these days you can't, because all the shops only stock New Rocks.
5) I don't want to look 'fierce'.

I've never heard of New Rocks falling apart with normal wear. I have a friend that's had a couple of pairs that he wears on a regular basis and they still look almost new. I always figure that the shoes you buy will last as long as you treat them properly.

Not in America. New Rocks are practically impossible to find here. I ordered mine from London.

I bang my head on enough low doorways as it is - I'd end up with brain damage if I wore platform boots...

I always treat my boots with care, but I do know of plenty of instances where New Rocks had bits fall off after just a month (once even less than that). That pair weren't even worn during the week - just at the weekend!

If you lived in London then the story would be reversed - I once spent a day in Camden looking for a decent pair of boots, and every single shop I went in just had New Rocks (apart from the Doc Marten shop, obviously).
