When I was 10, I had a pair of shoes like that but they were red and a little less high heeled. From Alexander's. Talk about cheap shoes.
("I buy at Alexander's, I buy at Alexander's" jingle chorus in my head)

I can't believe my mother let me get 'em.

@rosasparks: I got Jellies one summer. New Orleans is TOO hot in the summer for Jellies.
And they gave me blisters. But I got a lotta compliments so I suffered until my mom threw them out.

@LAGirl: Take those little Chinese shoes, add a pair of worn-out baggy olive drab fatigue pants from the surplus store and a navy blue turtleneck, and you've got the uniform of my senior year of college. You can finish off the look with a bad sort of white-girl afro perm and a lot of weed.

OH MY FREAK! I remember the ad because I had the pair on the left! I loved cheap Baker shoes, way better than payless. They were the only brand that had a large selection for size 5 heels!

Mrs. DeLesseps To You, Dahling — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 17:10:38 EDT

Sex was bareback and frequent, skirts required hose (except during baby-oil tanning season), Virginia Slims cigarettes told us we'd Come a Long Way Baby, To Get Where You've Got To Today, You've Got You Own Cigarette Now, Baby, You've Come A Long, Long Way. Amazingly, I have neither herpes, melanoma or skin cancer. So far. I can't wear heels like that any more though.

I like that these shoes have a slightly thicker but still sleek-looking heel. Those of us who come from peasant stock look ridiculous in stilettos.

@Lady Skittlehattington's Publicist: Oh my, yes. So very true.

@Sugarless: Amen. Back in the day, I bought all my Jellies from there. Talk about painful, I used to get the worst blisters wearing Jellies, while doing Chinese jumprope during recess.

PS Was it here I was talking about L'eggs? Does ANYONE still wear hose?

This is not that old. I wore these in high school. In 1979. Can you adjust your paradigm please? Believe it or not we knew what it was back then as well. jeeze.

Those were really cute until high summer rolled around and your feet got really sweaty. Then they became a slip and slide with lots of twisted ankles.

@rednrowdy: Did you actually read that blog? The dude just keeps talking about his wife forcing him to wear her Cherokee wedge sandals (with nylons) and how great it is. It's really weird!

barebacking is nasty. and don't get duped into searching the word "felching"! You will vomit your innards!

I love how the ad makes it looks like the "legs" are wearing pantyhose with high-heeled, "hooker" slides. Talk about a recipe for disaster!

Tip: if you Google those words you will not find any sandals.

No kidding, Dodai! You're a braver woman than I.

I used to love Bakers. Ah, those were the days.

BTW, they are totally in N'awlins cause that is the steamboat Dixie in the background.
Now I miss home and cheap shoes from Bakers.

It's so cool that feet in the 70's looked like they had old lady pantyhose on them. My feet look really pale by comparison.

cinemaddict — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 15:56:40 EDT

Oh god. I love me some bareback action. I actually get myself "over the falls" during sex by reminding myself of how my BF isn't wearing a condom. Sandals without heels are okay, too, in my book.

These shoes can still be found at Payless. And for probably less than they cost in 1979.
