Impressive array of pics, Prep! Some of these look a lot more respectable than I remember the Spring-O-Lator image being, back in the day - as I recall, they quickly developed a Borderline Hooker association!

The satin shoes at the top of the page are just gawjus.. !

They truly are beautiful shoes, but all here have a unique style and grace that modern manufacturers can only hope to duplicate..

Omg these are the greatest inventions ever!

Too bad they must be fitted into the mule, as opposed to something that you slip into the shoe. However, I guess you could have an adhesive on the insole (ball of foot, and heel sections), but that would ruin the insole of your precious shoes

Btw - those Dior lizard skins are goooorgeous

are they comfortable? i read an auction on ebay and they said that they weren't

I'd spring for springolators!

Au Contraire.... Most really had lower heels, were made of all leather and the elastic forms your foot to a very nicely arched arch. NO problem to walk in at all. I just wish they made them with higher heels!
