OK ......I think I had a pair of these in 1967 ....*L*.

Essentially, they have very pointy toes, are somewhat loosely constructed, so the foot looks “flat,” and have really long laces that are looped around the body of the shoe several times.

Tapered shoes in general seemed to be popular with young men in Tokyo (a version of the 2005/2006 Prada shoe for men). But this elf shoe thing is a pointy beast unto its own.

Ive got a few pointy pairs like this too.....

Whats with the lace wrappin fashion though ??

:confused:

Mine were ....."lace wrappin" free .......*L*.

I used to have quite a few pairs of shoes like that in the sixties. Always black. Never any other color. We didn't wrap the laces though.

Yeah, I remember those from the '60's as well. Uncomfortable things.

HAH, what a bunch o' ole farts we have in here.

I wouldn't be caught dead in a pair of them!!!

*ok, mine were brown though but I never wrapped them, what the hell?!?!.*

Hey there - that's olde farts ... get it right.

We used to call them .........."Puerto Rican Fenceclimbers".

And ......I might add ...........at least we didn't wear our pants where our fat asses and fat waists hang out ......ewwwwwwwwwww .....!!

" .........."Puerto Rican Fenceclimbers". "

Useful for killing cockroaches in corners, as well.

We called them Puerto Rican Fence Climbers too as well as Guinea Roach Killers.
