Red Shoe hanging from neighbors front door knob?! What does this mean?

So I live in a townhouse, and my neighbor is a young woman about 25. She lives alone. I don't know for sure if she works, because I never really see her come or go at any normal intervals. Every once in awhile, she will hang a red high heeled shoe (kind of like an ornament on a string) from her front door knob. It will hang their for about a week or so, and then it disappears for awhile. What does this mean?

How do I clean the inside of dance shoes? ballroom heels specificlly?

i spilt soda in my dance bag and it filled my ballroom patent leather heels, the outsides i cleaned with a wet cloth, but the inside smells like soda and will probably become gross. will just soap and water work? or are they ruined?

Just rinse them with cold water quickly - don't let them soak, and wipe them out with a towel. Let them dry before you wear them again.


Smelling like soda is not a problem, LOL, but the sugar is. You want to rinse out all that sugar. If it was a diet soda - don't worry about it, just wear it.


Ballroom shoes are more robust then they may seem.
Reply:Usually the inside of a ballroom shoe is made out of soft leather. this can be rinsed off with water, or a mild eye make up remover can also work if the sugar does not want to come off with just a cloth and water.





If the soda spilt onto the soul, which is piggs leather, keep it there, its a great non slip trick for wooden floors, we do it when we dance comps.
Reply:Why don't you ask the people who sell dance shoes!! What do we who wear street shoes know about cleaning dance shoes? There are compounds used to clean the soles which would lead me to believe that there are shoe cleaners to ressurect your shoes.

I thought about opening a shoe store for women?

I stay in a small city and we don't have any women shoe stores. Do anyone know how I can get information on shoes mainly high heel shoes.

Approach designers to see if they wanted their shoes to be sold in your area.

How many of u wore/wear high heels during pregnancy?

I'm 24 weeks, 6 days %26amp; still wear high heel shoes 2-1/2-3 inches. My mom %26amp; everyone in my family tells me that's it's not good for me to do this, but my dr doesn't seem to have a problem with it. He doesn't say anything about it. Have anyone ever had any problems with wearing heels during pregnancy?

How many of u wore/wear high heels during pregnancy?
I wore high heels all the time before being preg. Now that I am, just as far as you too, flat shoes make my back hurt terribly. My midwife never said anything about the heels either, she actually wanted to know where I got them. But I'm tired of everyone else yelling at me for it. But if it starts to bug me, then I'll switch to the more so annoying flat shoes that seem to kill my back ^.^
Reply:generally when it comes to your physical ability while pregnant... if you were used to it before it's probably okay to do it during. for example: if you were an avid runner/swimmer/cyclist, it's okay while pregnant as long as you can handle it. and as long as you don't have any complications. also use your common sense, if you went bunji jumping all the time or if your wearing 4 inch heels while there is ice everywhere... it's probably time to stop for a while! i can't imagine high heels would pose a huge threat if your very used to them... maybe as your pregnancy goes on and you can see your feet, maybe switch to some kitten heels or shorter wedges.
Reply:I wear them all the time my family and boyfriend also keep telling me that i should not be wearing them but my Dr. thinks it's ok. and plus i don;t really see a problem. I wear them to work everyday 31 Weeks with a Boy
Reply:I didn't wear them during pregnancy. Thing is, your back is going to start hurting at some point somewhat -- wearing heels is not good for your back whether you are pregnant or not. I go for comfort now before I go for the sexy look -- it's not worth it. Another issues could be slipping off the heel and falling -- that's not too safe. OBGYN doctors are not back doctors. They probably don't realize how bad hgh heels are for women.
Reply:If you can do it , then there should not be a problem. I was never comfortable in heels and wear then only when necessary . As long as you are still farly well balanced, keep wearing them.
Reply:no..no..no.... that is not a risk Id be willing to take!.....I would be afraid of falling, and you if you fell and fell on your stomach you would seriously hurt the baby..maybe even kill it.





For the safety of my child I could go 9 months without wearing heels.
Reply:I don't think that it is dangerous for the baby or anything. There are some reasons why you may want to reconsider it at some point. First of all, heels aren't really so healthy for your body anyway and the added weight from being pregnant will stress your joints and lower back more.


Also I think when you are later in pregnancy you get an added dose of hormone that makes your joints/muscles looser to help in delivery. That will make it much easier to strain your back or sprain your ankle or something if you are wearing heels. You don't want to be in labor or even just like eight months pregnant trying to get around with a bad back strain or something.
Reply:me!!
Reply:I'm a guy, so well, obviously I can't answer the direct question, but a little common sense never hurt.





Now, of course, I see no way that wearing high heels could directly affect your baby, but a couple of things comes to mind. One, it's probably really bad for your feet. High heels have always struck me as something that might do damage to your feet, not to mention with the extra weight.





Honestly, you're not gonna be "fashionable" when your pregnant. The "extra 20 pounds" look probably won't be coming in style any time soon. But, I don't think there's much reason to care anyways. It's not fair for people to give you grief for it when you're pregnant.
Reply:The biggest problem is that as you get bigger you get unbalanced and it could increase your chances of falling. If you are comfortable in heels then you are fine, just be careful.
Reply:its not bad but then again its not a good idea because u might fall and something bad might happen to u and the baby and nobody want that to happen
Reply:i just had my baby, wearing high heels shoes doesn't affect the baby, the only harm is if its too much on the mom, if you accidently trip its harder to regain balance, wearing high heels during pregnancy is fine, i did, i stopped about 8 mnths because my feet started to swell and i felt heavier and in the later months you may start to feel unbalanced, it just became easier and safer to wear flats, just be careful in your heels you would not want to trip and try to regain balance on a heel....
Reply:It's fine unless you fall


what else did you expect?
Reply:My doctor said as long as my feet can stand it, and I didn't fall the shoes I wear do not have any effect on my body.. I say rock on... I love my shoes. I am a shoe fanatic so the fact that I could wear them all was great.
Reply:Well, I was told by a doctor that if you are used to wearing heels then it's completely fine! I wore my stillettos all the way through. I was pregnant, not dead to the fashion world!

Does anyone know what this shoe is called? it had a heel that can be tucked into sole so shoe becomes flat.?

i saw it on tv earlier this summer but cant remeber what its called..or who the maker is. its was a black womans shoe and it enabled women to walk to work in flats then when they get to work the 'flat' shoes had a special heel tucked under the sole that you brought out to make them heels...any ideas?

Reply:I'd be abit worried about these shoes due to how safe the heal is. its on a hinge so when the heal is up so you have high heels the join isnt gonna be very safe. wouldnt waste the money if i were you and just buy a pair of comfies to walk to work in and a pair of heels to wear at work

What is the attraction with high heels (and boots)?

I adore a girl in high heels, especially if they are on a pair of knee-length or thigh-length boots. So do many other men.


...but what is the attraction? I know Iove girls in boots, stiletto heeled shoes, but I can't put my finger on why it's sexy...

Did you ever see a man look good in high heels ?





No, because you gotta be young feminine and slim , all bum and boobs.


Oh, and it gives girls a nice hight so you dont have to bend your neck too much to kiss 'em.


Also the extra height gives some women a confidence boost, its a power thing!


Lots of women wear them to please (or tease).


They know that guys like you have a fetish for their footware so you are like putty in their hands.
Reply:Its not the Boots %26amp; Heels .as such...it is who is wearing them ...My Mrs looks hot in them ..- but the portly next door neighbour ...I wouldnt like to lick hers
Reply:...also makes her seem more helpless, which is sexy
Reply:there sex
Reply:it makes women feel sexier. Therefore they behave sexier. Therefore you think they are sexier!
Reply:I think it extends and draws attention to the legs. I've never been a big fan of them myself though. i always went for the girls in boots or trainers.
Reply:Not sure but it`s hard to define why us men find many things sexy for example stocking and naughty underwear to me looks better than someone naked. I think men are turned on by visual rather than mental things but asking why is hard to explain you might as well ask why do we get turned on by images

Reply:All the Answers! Plus it's simply FASHION!! For centuries, women in China bound their daughters' feet, crippling them, successfully breaking their arches--frequently, the small toes falling off due to lack to blood supply---ALL for the sake of fashion!!! They successfully crippled their children/daughters to have small, pointed feet!! This helped marry them off; kept them from running away; kept them obedient and "sexually" admired by men!! It's the same concept in the Western world! To be sexy and desired! I crippled along on the 3" French heels for years when I was in the throes of "fashion"! No longer--I love my great sneakers now--and wouldn't put a pair of "high heels" on for all the love or money!!
Reply:Apparently it's a scientific thing, the way women's legs flex in heels, it makes your legs look longer and improves the female posture, especially with the general lack of posture seen these days!





Apparently its an age-old thing, nothing new.
Reply:Probably because high heels make a woman stand in a sexier way.


It makes our legs appear longer, and makes our boobs and bum stick out.
Reply:Because it is seeexxxxxyyyyyy!Hint of danger there with the sharp heels %26amp; heavy leather.Animal magnetism with the soft suede %26amp; laces.Superhero fantasy with the long tops.....


Need i go on?I never met a man who didn't like boots or heels.
