Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s many internet friends has sent the Manolo the link to the site of the world’s greatest collector of the Famalore shoe, the shoe from the 1970s with the crazy wavy sole.

    Ah, The Manolo? Try http://www.famolare.net/, instead.

    The Lisa, she had a pair of the Famolare shoes in the grade of the seven. They were super fantastic, but not so fantastic for the running, as the Lisa’s ankle can attest.

    it’s Famolare – check your spelling.

    Ah, yes. The Famolares. The girls, they all had a pair of the famous, super fantastic wavy-soled shoes.

    The Fabulous Famolare, which came in the size 11 and was thus the only shoe for the 1970′s high-school girl of the big feets (who does not want to wear the old-lady shoes nor the sneakers).

    My mother and I had matching Famolares. The shoes were cool, but I wouldn’t admit it then because what 13-year-old wants to be seen wearing the same shoes as her mother?

    Ayyyy! Famolare! Not the Famalore! The Manolo he is unable to spell.

    Since you post about Famolare I go crazy looking for the vintage 1979 sandals that drew much ridicule in my high school. I want to wear them to my 25th year high school reunion, but I fear my mother gave them away with the varsity jacket. Sob.

    I wore Famolare for years and loved them. The only store that sold them closed down. So I found them on line and ordered some. I don’t know what has changed, but I have lost my toenails, got blisters, and I’m not happy at all. I quit wearing them for a while to see if it was the shoes or me. I started wearing them again and my toenails came off again. I don’t know who to tell or what to do. I spent a lot of money on them and can’t wear them. I would like my money back.
    Sincerely,
