You mean Herman Munster isn't your fashion icon?


Grandpa Munster was more my style.

Is that creeper? Or creepy? :woot:


Look more like great granny's orthopaedic shoes. :yuk:
 
I own like 12 pairs of TUK creepers! I'll post a group pic of them later on, if anyone wants. Right now I'm waiting on a pair of custom metallic silver ones to be made. :)
 
:shock: uh, John? I think my dotty grandpa left his shoes backstage. You didn't have to send the models down the runway in them

Let this be a lesson to ALL designers...you can't be perfect all the time
 
They don't squeak like old-fashioned rubber soles and they don't click like leather soles.

how my sister loved those around 95... they were hot then, werent they (well, apart from the 50's)?

still very popular now within certain subcultures..;)
 
why "brothel" creepers though?

they were first made towards the end of WWII so solders in the North African desert could have shoes with appropriate soles for the terrain and climate. Then as the soldiers made their way back to England, the shoes got around town, as did they (so to speak) hence the name Brothel Creepers.
