lol I know blue blooded English gay icon Elton John does as well after seeing a great '73 gig at LA's Shrine Aud. where Emmylou and her Hot Band opened for Barnstorm and he jammed the encore with Joe Walsh and then had them all open for him during his historic mega '75 concerts at Dodger Stm. Joan wasn't part of it but shoulda been!
Those are stack heels, not high heels. I’ll rock these on occasion whenever appropriate…
Sorry, while I repect her career, I was not much of a Joan fan, nor did she do much for me otherwise. Plus, I can’t deal with Capricorn chicks, man.
those shoe styles were perfect, what wasn't were cuff lengths, an inch longer and they're cool, only a few att made the simple connection. by the time that happened straight and pegs were usurped by flared pipes which soon hit heel level as bell bottoms took over and Beatle boots faded out. The Beach Boys made a career out of highwaters and Brian Epstein cemented it with the famed suits, it took too long for pants fashion to correct itself, but the Cuban and undershot heels were one of the best things for looks in the '60s and still are. by '67 there were superior designs that looked more awesome, it was mainstream, Hardy's, Flagg Bros. and Thom McCann were nailing it.
Emmylou Hearthrob, er, Harris....
I don't know about the quality now, but back in the late '60s, they were about $10 a pair (not cheap), but had soles that were like cardboard. I never had a pair that lasted more than a week or two before I wore a large hole under the balls of my feet. [No jokes, please.
