I had several pairs, they were put in the attic after I married and left home. Don't know why Mom saved them, along with my roller skates!! My father always joked, "those shoes were something to see, and no self-respecting woman would wear them". He was a man of succinct opinion. My brother ditched them all when he inherited the family home, but he called first to see if I WANTED them (as if!). Those platforms were something else! Especially when you were tallish to begin with. If you got it right, the bellbottoms looked so great with them. Smooth to the nth degree. That's why the younguns are all about that now!! My sister jokes about her "Candies" since she had several pairs of them - one of her favorite stories is about when she had to run in them and lost one.Had to limp home and explain where the shoe was!! I loved my "kicks" - they were so doggone cool in the early 70's! LOL
