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.

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

 

[Plastic'sWife]

is there a reason they are called creepers?

They don't squeak like old-fashioned rubber soles and they don't click like leather soles.

why "brothel" creepers though?

[renferme]

They were first worn by Teddy Boys in the fifties The Teds

Heres where the name comes from Brothel Creeper

 

[Matay]

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.
