Does anyone one know why Prince was wearing tennis shoes at the Atlanta show back in April . It really took me by surprise when I didn't notice him wearing his heels

He has been choosing to wear ordinary soled footwear on and off for over two years.

.

He was playing basketball earlier in the day, that's why!

During the acoustic set, the camera on my DVD shows him wearing what looks like white orthopedic shoes with at least 4 inch soles!!

When you say orthopedic do you mean the type of shoes like nurses wear or old grandmothers who've got the gout?

Darla are you serious! I was wondering how was he still as tall as everyone around him.

Just another thought.....
I love Prince and all but tennis shoes do not go with the clothes he wears

Wearing high heels for over 25 years is NOT healthy! I'm sure he has back problems or at least his feet will start to hurt. Back in 2002, on the ONA shows, I noticed how careful he was. Believe me, no mather if he believes in time or not, or wheather he still looks very good, he IS feeling it. His face still looks alright, but has anyone noticed he hasn't took his shirt off in 5 years? Time wait't for no one...

Actually, I think he was wearing his *moon boots*...you know, the white ones with fringe and N P G in gold lettering down the front...did anyone else think this?

um more like nurses .But the soles looks like they're custom made to be built like heels.you know the heel above the toes, just like if he was wearing heels in the first place.

Do you actually think they were boots? I still think that it was regular tennis shoes.

I would imagine so.....everybody has aching feet every now and then

There was an article in the papers inthe UK a couple of weeks ago saying that some new study had discovered that wearing high heels is actually very good for your legs and heel-wearers are way less likely to have propblems with their legs later in life...

My friend and I like to call HIS recent footwear selection, "Tenni-Boots". They look like some sort of space age, Star Trek-like WEDGE. It was time to come outta those boots anyway. It maybe ok for his legs, but what do his feet look like? Personally, I believe his next tour should be done in his socks or hell, just go barefoot. I'm sure some fans (Zelaria) would pay to just watch his naked feet, he ain't even gotta perform no more!

Ya know which socks would look mad cute on Gerkin Boy? Well I love those multi color toe socks . He would look ADORABLE or ya Know those DEARFOAM BOOTIES or those Slipper socks with Furry stuff. I even have like these Socks with Cat heads on them. He needs to get with my Closet. Together all that stuff and Prince well a Designer's Wet Dream.. I Have the Wildest Damn Collection. I have these Wooden Platforms that are 5" tall,Feather hats from the 60's and just Alot of BETSEY JOHNSON which Mad Boy Loved way back. Now Mani is Wearing that kind of stuff for him.

Prince wore sandals at the celly in 2002, like that is a bad thing, remember what Shelia went said when legs went out from under her because she wore heels for a long time, it will mess with you leg muscles, ouch, Shelia said she could not walk for a long time after that,, I know Prince does not want to go thought that. LOVE, Peace, & Always B Wild,

First Off ..Why's he Gotta Kill His Feet with Corns,Callouses and Bunions just to look Cool. We don't care about his Height..Be Comfortable. Wear what Ya Want to.. DAMN!

ok, ok, ok
The man is fine as hell..... , it doesn't matter what he is wearing.....but i still wonder

I wish he would Paint his Toenails Black or Red.. Ya know those Platform Thongs at Target? Prince should lounge with these. They are Soo Confortable. or just Thongs that they have like these Cool like Padded Thong shoes. All different types at RICKEYS in NYC..

well i geuss after wearing those high heel shoes for about 15 or 20 yrs a 45 year old man just can't get down the way he wants to on stage his feet need to rest ..

...maybe his heels were hurting...

I wear platform sneakers all the time.

Here's a place that sells some nice ones.

I wear heels all the time too but alot of the times I wear tennis shoes too because heels really take a toll on ur feet. Sometimes its too uncomfortable to look cute, but u can look just as cute with tennis shoes I think. But hell he always looks sexy no matter what he wears! He could come onstage in some Adidas and a towel and id think he was gorgeous!!
