Does anybody know who designed/designs and made/makes Prince' shoes, both currently, and any previously? Any information wouls be greatly appreciated!


Peace, ya'll so funky x

They're either an NHS issue for the vertically challenged folk of this world, or by Freeman Hardy & Willis, I'm not too sure. I'll check next time up the shopping centre.

It's the question I'd most like to ask him. I've only had one pair of really high heels comfortable enough to walk/run/dance in all day long. I wish I'd bought 5 pairs if I'd known.

Anybody know? They are rather nice

They are and he does know how to accessorize those with w/e he's wearing

Makes me wonder if he actually goes to the women's section for his shoes or he has someone buy them for him... although the 2nd makes more sense... I just can't imagine Prince just cruising down the aisle of women's shoes.

I don't fancy heels myself... especially not 4-inch heels like he wears in "Purple Rain" and still gets the job done

I'd like to be/stand in his shoes just to feel what its like... but they're probably so high that I'd probably fall off and die

They have to be specially reinforced or something

You just need to have a size of penis diametrically opposed to a massive ego, then you can sing & dance in them all night long ... oh shit, i've been got again.

I wish I knew myself.
I bought a pair that reminded me of P's shoes at Target

don't know, but my guess is he has his own bootmaker
his heels are quite sensible (not dangerous like the ones i wear!)
they look very stable & therefore probably as comfy as a pair of slippers.
wearing heels give him a sexy posture & cute wiggle
however as much as i fancy those adorable thangs, i would have a lustful seizure if he eva wore a pair of these doc martins...

OMGG!! Those are so cool!!

Is there something wrong with me!

And didn't Mothercare do a nice line in boots.

Stacy Adams sp? Yellow.

I wish I knew

I keep finding shoes that resemble them for much less money than his are though, I'm sure. I think I'll stick to those, because they're just as lovely without dropping so much cash at once. And they come in purple!

Mayte did a interview about a year or so ago and said he has his own cobbler in Spain who send by Federal Express.

Prince actually has his own Spanish cobbler?
Damn...
that's the epitomy of acheivement, right there.
Lemme tell U fuckers sumpthin'....
the day that I can walk around thru life saying that I have my own Spanish cobbler is also the day that I, just like the P-Man himself, will sue all your asses.
Why?
Because
I
can.

How do you insert pictures, into your posts?

small boys dept at nordstrom's.

I can't tell. But P. put a cryptic message in his song SHOE. If u know his number and page him you'll receive the address of the cobbler.

damn org, and word association threads

At one time he also had this other cobbler somewhere in London. Son´t think that average shoes from some expensive boutique would even last the first few songs of his shows, at least not back in the day....he definitely has reinforced heels.

Yeah, you wouldn't want to jump off an amp tower in off-the-rack boots - even if you're a light as he is.

Exactly what I was thinking when I read he has his own cobbler.

"Who makes Prince's shoes??"

A member of the Lollipop Guild perhaps?

I remember reading a tabloid story sometime in the late 80s or early 90s where Prince was spotted in a women's lingerie shop selecting and then having one of his "people" purchase some underwear.

Yes...likely shopping for some lucky lady!

The Northpole elves make Prince's shoes and they're doing a great job. There is a whole elfe-section, that exclusively makes Prince shoes year-round. In fact, Prince is such a good customer, that he makes it possible for many elves to stay in the business. There will be no lay-offs as long as Prince has a need for shoes.
How charitable of Prince!
