Hot Shoe Shuffle

In the Swinging Sixties, Dolly Birds
travelled a parallel style-street with Mods,
and this Roger Vivier shoe was their signature.
The heel you can't see, is low and chunky.
It's still a big seller 40 years on.
It was worn with white or black opaque tights,
or with white or black fishnets,
or lace tights
.

  1. Oh, the memories of going to work in high heels and buying a pair of shoes like this with my first pay packet. The relief when walking home 2kms from the station.

  2. Hi JahTeh - of course, short short hemlines look best with low chunky heels.
    I think one of the differences between Dolly Birds and MODS is the long hair vs. short geometric cuts.
    The streets of Melbourne were full of gorgeous girls back then.

  4. I love a good, low, sensible heel. Sometimes a girl is too busy to fuss about.

    We have to be practical because we are often running about doing so many errands.

    ... and they look nice too.
