Shoes and Boots!!!

You know I love shoes and boots (well you should do by now, and if you didn't, you surez do now! lol )

I have countless, pairs colours, styles etc etc..but I was just wondering...how many pairs of custom-made high heels does Prince have? How many colours, who makes them, what does he do with them after he has worn them - keep em? or chuck em?

Of course he has his signature boots which he is seen wearing in concerts, photos etc, but he was wearing a low wedge-type knee high cut boot during one of the soundchecks in the UK... What other styles have you seen him wear?

Clogs? err Sneakers? hmm Wellies? no no no! Does he wear fluffy slippers round the house? nuts Ok, I am playing now, but what other have you seen him in, or what would you guess he wore as casual, or definitely would NOT wear???

Here's a picture of his feet a couple of years ago. This was when he first went vegan, and his style was very crunchy:

I remember reading an article a long time ago that said Prince gets his boots custom made by a shop in Britain. They had a cast or tracing of his foot that they would use as a guide. Then he would send them swatches of material from his outfits and they would use the material to make his boots to match his outfits.

It's funny, but lately I have been seeing Prince style boots being sold in regular stores.

How much $$ do you think that cast of his smelly bare foot would fetch on eBay?

Does anybody remember the thread on the old Org when everbody was bidding on a pair of P's boots that had been left behind in a Vegas hotel room? Does anybody remember what the winning bid was? If I am remembering correctly, a fam bought that pair of Prince's old boots for about $500.
