LOL! I didn't mean for that to be a sales pitch. I just wanted to make a point that there are other ways to make a scooter part of your personal statement, without risking limbs and digits.

Yes, very.

Just so you know, I wear high heels and skirts almost everyday and my buddy (orange) is my sole mode of transportation.

I don't wear spikey heels (sigh).

I have learned how to keep my skirts from flying up, but have on an occasional left turn flashed oncoming traffic.

I do leave five minutes earlier, because of the skirts, windshear, I have to go a bit slower.

I have had one fall because of sudden rain and the crazy drivers in Oklahoma (no one has ever heard of the turn signal or braking before turning). I was wearing a skirt and heels. I have a 1cm boo-boo on my ankle. I still wear heels and skirts.

For what it is worth.

A Modernvespa member was ran off the road and the SUV RAN OVER HER FOOT while she was wearing Fluevog Audrey's:

The member, her scoot and her foot ARE fine!!! NOT a broken toe, foot or anything!!!

She swears by these shoes now. My wife doesn't like the big stich look, otherwise those would be her riding boots with me

Unless they are made of steel, I can't see how those protected her feet.
Probably would fly off in an accident. Besides, they are um.. not my style

Oh, and check out these Icon boots

I'm thinking those would look GREAT with a hot red bikini (but not on me, thanks)!

I'm thinking that the "safety" concern of heels is not the heel itself, but rather their lack of traction. If you wipe out it's not going to because of your shoes (remember keep you feet inside the scooter at all times). The risk is more slipping at a stop or if you hit a slick spot.

Just brainstorming here, but is there perhaps a way to rough up the soles with sandpaper or add some sort of rubber to the bottom to make them do what we need them to do?

I'm not saying you would want to do this with every pair of shoes, but made a couple of basic goes-with-everything ones.

Because really, having to plan my wardrobe around my scooter-friendly shoes can be quite challenging.

Sure easy enough, go down to your local bicycle shop and ask them for some old tires and then cut out pieces in the shape of the front sole area of your heels and then use some "shoe gu" to glue the pieces to you heels, and there you have it.... just a thought..........but be careful not to roll your ankle when you put your foot down. etc., etc.,............

I must admit, I am a fashion junkie and have, on a few occasions, worn heels on my scoot. However, I am not a heels person and do not own a single pair of stilettos. The heels I wear are made by the brand Sofft:
http://www.sofftshoe.com/

Their shoes are very solidly structured with strong leather and lots of traction.

I think even wearing these shoes I'm putting myself at higher risk so I usually wear sneakers/boots and bring my kitten heels or sandals to change into the second I get where I'm going.

If only I could figure out a solution to 'helmet hair'. *sigh*

for the record, i'm a guy and i say "go for it."

wear what you want. you're probably not likely to endanger a bus load of school children wearing heels on a scooter, but i realize i'm not the voice of the majority around here.

Phuket · Post by **Phuket** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 8:39 pm

Melody, your desire sounds more than reasonable! The fact that you are approaching this with such trepidation tells me that you are very cautious, so I say "Go for it!" I have a "list" as well, and consider yourself lucky that you can cross something off yours!

This thread reminds me of one of my favorite sayings:

I once sang the blues cuz I had no shoes- then I met a man with no feet.

(Don't read into that- the feet/shoes theme made it come to mind- that's all!)

Tbone · Post by **Tbone** » Fri Aug 17, 2007 8:46 pm

I am amazed as well Ellen, not sure how but well an SUV did run over her foot. Shoes are fine, her feet are fine.

Given the right outfit, I think those shoes look nice. Again, my wife hates the big stitch look in general while I like it.

I rather like the version that Lily Tomlin's Sister Boogie Woman character used to use: "I cried because I had no shoes, till I met a man who had no rhythm."

Actually, even this much effort isn't necessary. Apparently, you can take any pair of shoes to your friendly neighborhood shoe guy and he can slap some "grip" on the bottom. This works on both shoes that never had traction and those that have lost it.

I have been keeping my Crocs ballet flats under the seat to change into at work. I really haven't worn heels in two years.(Yaaa no more desk job.) I definately wouldn't wear heels to ride in.(or my Crocs) Pose for a pic in skirt and heels maybe on the scoot. I'll stick with my HD boots for riding. I'm sure they saved my ankle last night.

Post by **ericalm** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 2:23 am

This is no different than any other gear discussion. Of course, as a guy who likes women, I like the looks of riders in heels. As with anything else, it's a matter of making an individual assessment of how much risk you're willing to accept.

That said, I would think that heels present a bigger potential than most other shoes, even canvas sneakers. Maybe this is reflective of my inexperience wearing heels... But in a pinch, an "oh sh--" moment when I had to put a foot down, I want something solid underfoot. And I sure as hell wouldn't want a pivot rotating under my ankle.

But, yeah, it looks hot.

Don't encourage the rabble!

If you're not going to go ATGATT, then you may as well... Though I imagine wearing a bikini and a helmet probably looks darn goofy. A one piece would be something else altogether.

From the neck up she looks like a skinny Carly Simon. Anybody old enough to remember Carly?

Of course we want to see the skirts and heels. That's part of the reason for getting up everyday, and add in a scooter and it's like candy.
