A friend of my nephew threw a birthday party. Afterwards they found that all the newly laid woodstrip flooring had been punctured with lots of little black holes and was ruined, costing at least a thousand pounds to replace. This was all due to one girl who was wearing the now fahionable stiletto heels. I thought that last time stiletto heels became fashionable and then there was such trouble with expensive ballrooms trashed etc.that it would never happen again. Be on your guard if you value your flooring. Such shoes are very bad for your feet, especially with the pointed toes that seem to go with them.

First time around I believe Air Stewardesses were banned from wearing them as the damaged the structure of the aircraft floor?

At our last house the previous owners had lovingly polished their teak floor with beeswax polish every month. In one evening at our housewarming party, somebody in high heels completely wrecked it with pock marks, and even sanding it and repolishing could remove the damage. Now we have a cream carpet over our wood floor and the house rule is "Outdoor shoes off please". And I couldn't care less if they have a bl**dy great hole in their socks.

I take my steel-toe-capped welliies off at the door of every house I enter as a matter of courtesy and respect to the owner, and invariably, I DO have holes in my sox......

omg thats dreadful
i hate children wearing heels!
i dont even wear them myself!

Dear Jopsy you never mentioned if Rolly wears high heels.

Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

Theres no fool like an old fool.

P.S I was watching for you on that teachers award progamme on the t.v earlier.
