Whose Shoes Wednesday…The Hint!
Manolo says, this week’s entry into the Whose Shoes Wednesday has plainly confounded the Manolo’s many internet friends, and so in the spirit of helpfulness the Manolo will give you the following hint…

These shoes above are not merely sporty suede shoes, instead, these are specialized shoes, constructed so as to conceal the extra two inches of insole. In the other words, these are very expensive, high quality, well-made elevator shoes.

So, it’s Mr. Tom Cruise, is it? Still not feeing the red shoes/flood pants, but he is the wild man!
March 5th, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Tom Cruise or Michael J. Fox?
March 5th, 2008 at 1:12 pm
The Manolo now must issue the second hint. This person is not Tom Cruise.
March 5th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Jeremy Piven perhaps. Those red shoes are distracting.
March 5th, 2008 at 1:17 pm
Is it perhaps Prince?
March 5th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Usher? He’s a shortish, dance-type person who might wear the red outfit seen. Though perhaps not the cowboy boots.

Billy Bob Thorton?
March 5th, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Steve Buscemi?
March 5th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
Sylvester Stallone?
March 5th, 2008 at 1:31 pm
Dang it, I believe Meg has the answer. Believe it or not, Prince played high school basketball.
March 5th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Keith Urban?
March 5th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
did anyone guess bob dylan? that’s mine.
March 5th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
I’m cursed with not being quick enough to post! Someone already said Sylvester Stallone - I think so too.
March 5th, 2008 at 1:51 pm
In a mad guess: Bruce Springsteen or John Mellencamp!
March 5th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
I was thinking Spike Lee…
March 5th, 2008 at 2:06 pm
Sir Mick Jagger
March 5th, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Elijah Wood?
March 5th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
Is it Adam Sandler or Ben Stiller?
March 5th, 2008 at 2:19 pm
Gotta be Sly Stallone.
March 5th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Jean Claude VanDamme.
March 5th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Tobey McGuire? Tho Miss J just heard is vegan & doesn’t wear the leather… Oh, well. She has not the Spidey sense and stands by her guess.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Spike Lee!!!!!!!!
March 5th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
Dustin Hoffman?
March 5th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Dustin Hoffman? Those could be Tootsie’s red sneakers.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Richard Gere?
March 5th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Danny Divito? (sp?)
March 5th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
This is a wild guess, and I know isn’t right, but still–whenever anyone mentions elevator shoes, I think Kim Jong Il.
March 5th, 2008 at 3:43 pm
Eddie Murphy?
March 5th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Is it Phil Jackson, the LA Laker’s Coach?
March 5th, 2008 at 4:08 pm
Nicolas Sarkozy? Totally wild guess, but he does need those few extra inches to measure up to Mme Sarko…
March 5th, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Bruce Willis?
March 5th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
OK, I’m going with Dustin Hoffman!!
March 5th, 2008 at 6:11 pm
It must be Dustin Hoffman, since Burt Reynolds is too tall. For the record, the red shoes are auto racing shoes, and they go with the fireproof suit he is wearing. Not a fashion statement so much as functional.
March 5th, 2008 at 6:14 pm
I got it!!!! It’s Spike Lee!!!
March 5th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Gary Coleman?
March 5th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
This looks very Viggo Mortensen to me with a hint of Spike Lee pazazz
March 5th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Ok, I might be crazy, but some of those shoes looked very Elton John- he’s really in to bright colors- maybe it’s him!
Although what he’s doing on a basketball court is beyond me.
March 5th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Billy Crystal?
March 5th, 2008 at 7:29 pm

Jeff Gordon?
March 5th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Russell Crowe? He’s been caught wearing lifts before.
March 5th, 2008 at 8:29 pm
Billy Crystal.
I know I’m not first, but I’m pretty sure.
March 5th, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Paul Simon

Jay-Z
March 5th, 2008 at 8:39 pm

Al Pacino. He’s crazy enough for those red ones, and seems so tiny…
March 5th, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Paul Neuman?
March 5th, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Jon Stewart? I can’t really picture him in the more outre of those shoes but I know he’s been known to wear elevator shoes from time to time…
March 6th, 2008 at 11:09 am
perhaps I need a pair of those :)
March 10th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
Hmmm…here’s a crazy guess: Steve Carrell
May 10th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
