Make comfortable platform shoes

video Make comfortable platform shoes
Everybody wants to walk like a big man, right?

Well, we also like to avoid blisters. In this video I took some platforms off of old boots and attached them to some comfy sneakers.

NOTE: You will loose the stability that a lace-up boot provides for your ankles.

the drummer w/ whom i live does this all the time.

we have been together for years but i am sure this activity predated me.

[me & my hundred pairs of platform shoes, but nevermind that.]

i thought that this might be a tape he made in secret. for no reason. [double edged meaning purposefully stated herein, hereupon.] especially when i read:

You must terrify your neighbors.

he gets told stuff like that too. me too. if i said which silent movie actor's wife hung garlic on her door to ward away my exhusband & myself, tho, this would be stating entirely too much.
