I think they were geared more towards basketball than baseball.
The really, really nice wimmins thread Page 34
I think the original poster was referring to basketball boots.
Wimmins are really, really nice, aren't they?
Love the ribbon idea, but would never be seen in footy shirt, I feel asleep during England game.
Brogues are nice, but good trainers are 'Amazingballs', as are high class slippers.

Mostly, yes. Yes, they are.
Some of us are complete nightmares of mentally deficient idiots who are terribly self-indulgent and awful and think only of shoes and squealing, but it would be terribly unfair for anyone to judge all wimmins on that basis.
So, back to the shoe porn that Marc posted on Status Report earlier..
Couldn't find ribbon, but wasn't an Occasion so didn't have to look decent. Went for outfit as previously described but with messy low ponytail and small pearl-drop earrings. Trying not to allocate football-unluck to anything I was wearing, still have a bracelet I wore lots during Arsenal's champions league run, in, ohmygoodlordIamthatold, cough, last year, that will never be worn again, even though I am not superstitious
love it - goodnight!

I mean just your standard canvas boots, Converse, etc.
I've always known them as baseball boots :/

My killer heels were arrested last week and my leather handbag was charged with being an accessory.
