Water reed pixie shoe

"This shoe is made for the customer who does not like the regular heeled shoe, and to give the wearer the most comfort. Made from various water reeds and finished with discarded snail shells. All real conker skin lining. Light weight sole. Can be removed or put on very quickly. Very durable. This shoe is suitable for those who cannot wear the very pointy toe but still wish the neat appearance. Sizes tiny, small, medium, and quite big. Widths thin, slim and slender. No half sizes. "
Taken from the Footwear for Fops shoe catalogue.

I realise that some of the terms used on this blog are, in fact, woodland terminology and therefore may be unfamiliar to you. So, with that in mind, I have added a Glossary to the sidebar. Whenever such a word pops up I'll add it to the glossary, to keep you up to date, and so that you don't feel such a fool.

  6. Cheers, folks.

    Sorry Tracy, these are for the long thin ever so slightly pointed foot. Come back soon for chubby little rounded footwear.

    Thanks everybody for adding the name to the list, too. Spread the word!

    Cheers, my dears.
