Initially, I was totally against the 'brothel creeper' shoe, the name doesn't do them any favours for starters, and for this reason I considered them to be creepy. Whenever anyone walked by I did question their fashion sense, and overall sense for that matter. I found them an eyesore and was determined not to be swayed into thinking they were nice.
However, this did not go to plan. I actually find them acceptable now, and in some ways nice! My protest for these shoes was slightly defeated when I seen a pair of leopard print ones on sale in River Island, this is when I welcomed the idea of a pair, I did refrain from buying a pair though. They are very edgy and make any outfit look a bit different. The were popular since the 50's when the 'Teddy Boy's' wore them and were also sold in Vivienne Westwood's store- Let It Rock - in the 70's. They have been adopted by the sub-cultures such as Indie, Skunk and Goths. The idea of, the otherwise known triple-soled shoe, has admittedly grown on me and I may be making a purchase soon.
I found some lovely creepers in New Look, all for under £30!!
