Shoes S

In some ways we are spoiled for choice on S, though sandals, slip-ons ( I could have included loafers which I missed at L) and slingbacks are all rather generic. Sneakers is an American term, the British equivalent really being trainers (I still call them training shoes, showing my age). Slippers I've done with my cheat - quilted slippers. Skate boots (for skate boarding) and ski shoes were possibles but in the end I thought we'd go for stiletto heels and (appropriately given the current weather) snow shoes. Stiletto heels are named after the stiletto dagger. Americans call them spike heels.
