My one shoe encounters.
I was about 6 or 7 and I can remember building a model bridge using my mums shoes, which was great until she came into the lounge wearing only one brown stiletto court shoe looking for the other one that I had built into my bridge She made me take the bridge apart to retrieve her shoe. I can remember saying to her as she stood there wearing only one shoe. OH mum, what now? She said, I’m not going out wearing only one shoe.
However she did come home a few times wearing only one shoe. On one occasion we went into town on the bus, as we were walking around town, suddenly she stepped out of her black stiletto sling-back sandal, she pick it up to find that the front of her sandal, the strap over her toes had come unstitched and came away from the sole, she said oh dear I can’t wear this and put it in her bag. While wearing one sandal she went into two shops before going into a shoe repairs and leave it there. Then she had to walk up town to the bus station and we had to wait for the bus to come so she sat on the bench with her legs crossed with one sandal on and one bare foot. When we got home she put the shopping away still wearing her single sandal.
This happened in the late 60s, my mum, dad, sister and me went on a long weekend break to Holland and on the Sunday went on a canal trip, as the trip ended and we all got off the boat, my mum tripped and her black sling-back stiletto sandal came off and dropped between the boat and the quay and landed in the canal, sinking without trace. She had to spend the rest of the day wearing only one sandal, back then there were no shops open on Sundays.
On the subject of holidays, in the mid-70s my mum, dad, sister and me went to Scotland. On a day trip to the isle of sky. The ferry had to wait outside the docking area for a fishing boat to pass, the water was so clear you could see the sea bed. My sister had a habit of slipping off one shoe and dangled it on her toes, she did this on the edge of the ferry deck. I always hoped she would lose it over the side and this day she did. My mum shouted at her to stop doing that or she will lose it, of course this made her jump and her shoe dropped over the side landing in the sea, then slowly sink to the sea bed. She had to walk around the rest of the day wearing two white socks and one brown Mary Jane type shoe.
I have some more true stories I’ll post later.

Yesterday I was painting a house and the woman across the road came over and she was talking to the owner of the house I am painting. I had dust sheets on the floor and she caught her heel in the sheet and as she moved, the sheet with a drip of paint on it touched her shoe. She looked down and said oh no! I said what's up, I've got paint on my new shoe, so I tried to wipe it off, but it just smudged, I said it need washing off before it dries, she said ok then, I said you need to take it off, ok go on then. I undid the strap and slipped it off her foot and took it into the kitchen, she just stood there talking to the owner of the house. I washed of the paint and dried off her shoe, this must have taken me a good 10 minutes. When I returned to the room, I watched her standing there wearing only one shoe, after a few minutes she tuned to me and I gave her, her shoe back and said sorry it's still a bit wet, she took her shoe and said it is a bit. She then carried on talking for another 20 minutes just holding her shoe, finally she went back a cross the road wearing just one ankle strap stiletto shoe and carrying the other one.

Nice one I love the way she just throws her shoe away and later when the cop find her shoe her just tosses it a side.

In the new black panther film there is a fight scene and one of the female warriors takes off one of her high heels and hit one of the bad guys with it and later you see her bare foot but you don't see her other foot. But still worth a look even that it is quick.

I had an interesting dream last night. I dreamt that I was in town and there were men and women walking around wearing only one shoe, then I came across a pile of odd shoes etc next to a patch of wet concrete with shoe impressions in it. It turned that people had stepped in the wet concrete and they wanted compensation for the damage to their footwear. So they were told to leave one shoe with their name and address there, but if they wanted to claim more money they should spend the next hour or so walking around town with only one shoe on to prove they were inconvenienced and to be seen on the cctv. Well I had to join in so I stepped in the wet concrete then unzipped my ankle boot put my name and address inside my boot and left it on the pile of shoes etc. Then I walked around town minus one boot looking at the women wearing one shoe, boot, sandal etc. This dream seemed to last a long time, it was great.

Pat Sajak from wheel of fortune takes off Vanna White's high heeled shoe and tickles her nylon clad sole (I think she was wearing white stockings). I saw it once as a kid and it stuck with me for years. I actually did see the clip on the internet once, back in the days before youtube but I can't remember where. I haven't been able to find it since. But if any of you can I'd be eternally grateful. |
I am old enough, but I didn't see that one, but I would loved too. I do remember some nice shoe loss on some UK game shows, I will tell you guy later.

It could have better at least shown her standing there wearing one shoe, all you see later is her white shoe in the evidence bag and the cop carrying it around, there is the next episode but I have only had a scan though and so far no more one shoe.
