Shoes

This is a winklepicker. I heard the word on a podcast today and decided I had to look it up. It's called a winklepicker because of the pointy toe. And in Britain, a winkle is picked out of its shell with a pin or sharp pointy object. The winklepicker shoe or boot was usually worn by British rockers. I think Prince probably wears them too. Hope everyone enjoys this little piece of trivia.
