Winklepicker Boots

[Emerald]

Hands up everyone who used to wear these back in the 80's. I'm not sure about anywhere else, but they were the height of Goth de rigeur for a time in Australia. I had a pair of black, patent leather, ankle length ones. Of course the problem with them was the pointy toes would eventually curl up, and they'd look like Goblin shoes. But I suppose that was part of their overall charm.

I still wear them now, but mine aren't nearly as pointy as the Pennangalan boots.

Oh cool. I tend to prefer a more rounded toe boot these days. The Pennangalan boots are about as pointy as the ones I used to wear back in the day. Except I do remember the points of the 80s style Winklepickers being a bit longer.

I'm just checking out some of their other range. Impressive, and nothing I could afford to buy except in my wildest dreams. Oh well, it's still nice to dream occasionally.
