so .. what's up with the shoes?

Has anyone noticed Prince is wearing strange shoes lately? Just look at the pictures from the NY show ..

First, he's wearing his normal high heels ...






But then, he gets in his "orthopedic shoe" style ..



Did he hurt himself or what?

I'm glad to see he's wearing the flats. Those heels have to kill his feet!

I believe that he puts the flat shoes on for the acoustic set. I think that it helps him turn the chair better without slipping or sliding.

He has a bad knee. He doesn't wear them every show, only when he suffers from it. This is also the reason he doesn't jump off piano's or doesn't do the splits any more.

I'm pretty sure he wore the Rockports for the entire 6/18 St. Paul show.

Yes, he hurt his knee (wearing heels isn't very condusive to the healing process). If you watch the "Night with Kevin Smith" DVD, there's a story about Prince in which Prince says he hurt his knee so he wouldn't be going on that night. To which Kevin replied, "Is it because of the heels?" P just said, "Lay off my shoes, man". Funny, funny story (if you have a sense of humor about the man, that is).

Oh, and what do you mean buy "lately". Since when has P's shoes been normal? wink

Speaking from experience, it is hard wearing high heels all evening long and eventually you are in pain. Can you imagine Prince limping and trying to put out at the same time? He gotta be comfortable so he can concentrate on his singing music

confuse I guess I am not understanding why there would even be a question as to why he is wearing comfy shoes.

Prince is a very short man.

I am sure those shoes, while looking deceptively flat, have lifts on the inside.

Even when he wears flip-flops, they are raised.

I Think it's Great He's Wearing flat shoes and why Shouldn't we want OUR MAN to be Comfortable? I Don't Know how Rhonda or Candy can wear heels all night... I have Learned from ExPERIENCE to Wear Comfy Shoes Cause Standing in Heels is VERY PAINFUL. Plus it's a Rap Thing so Maybe Prince is Just Being IN STYLE!

What R "Rockports"? If you mean he wore regular shoes, and not heels, he did. Except he put his heels on for the encore.

Do u have any pictures of the show? I'm in need of sum photos!

Luv & Peace,
Alex
