There's No Such Thing as Too Pointed

About Me

I couldn't find any shoes in the shops pointed enough for me so my partner-in-life Roger and I designed some! We found a wonderful shoemaker in Italy who was able to make them for me, and the result - I now have a fantastic collection of 1960 style pointed stiletto shoes and boots.Then we thought it would be a good idea if other people who also like their shoes to have REALLY long pointed toes, could buy them from us. So we have now set up an internet shop.
If you would like to find out more (and even maybe own a pair of your own!) click on one of the links below to visit my RoSa Shoes shop. I hope you like what you see!
OK, that gives you an idea of how they look on one foot standing still, have a look at these videos to see how they look on both feet moving around!
