Awombleforever – I loved it when clogs were in fashion,I don’t really know why as they weren’t the most comfortable things to wear. Scholl sandals too,they were very special I had a red pair in the 70s. Hattie – My Scholl Sandals were white Womble …….cant remember if i had clogs mind u Nix – Oh, God–Dr. Scholls. You had to cling to them with your toes to keep them from sliding off. And I was so graceful to begin with. Between hanging onto your shoes with your toes and struggling to keep your tube top up… The things ya …

Awombleforever – My Daughter has asked me to get her some converse all stars for her birthday.Have been looking on ebay and they are very similar to our 70s bumper boots. The prices are a bit steeper though. Rennie – Yes those converse are really like what I used to call baseball boots. I think Will Smith wore them in Robot. James Blast – several pairs of “Cons” were sported by Blast, but that was in the 80s Rennie – For me they were 70’s used to buy them from Pollards where we used to get the dodgy stripey bed …
