Not about the Kork-Ease, but about the vaguely related Famolare. The very worn-at-sole Famolare which the Defense lawyer pulled from the box to show the Jury. Seems the fair maiden in the dock had, uhm... *fallen* off her round-soled Fams during the Suspected-DUI-Questioning by the local rozzers. Yeah, that's it...please to ignore those empty cocktail glasses lurking in the background. So the boozing had *absolutely*nothing* to do with the falling down, see? (Actually, this worked - the jury hung.) Ahh…the nostalgia. Not about the Kork-Ease, but about the vaguely related Famolare.

I wore platform heels as a teenager. I fell off platform heels as a teenager. I had feet that looked like hooves as a teenager. Now that I am no longer a teenager, I find that the shoes that make my feet feel young are the shoes that I was too foolish to wear when I was a teenager. Surely Manolo would not recommend that I wear macramé ponchos? Beloved Manolo, Maestro of the Foot:
