Probably because of the same issue they'd have with corsetry/women's underwear. Shoes generally need a lot more precision with sizes than say, hoodies and t-shirts...So they'd have to make a range of sizes when producing them, plus..There's no knowing what the demand will be like. There's so many types of shoe as well..

It's a possible idea, if Alchemy decided to branch out a bit, but shoes aren't as easily whipped up as a printed design for a top or something. That's probably one of the reasons why.


The idea isn't bad, but I agree completely with Envy on this one.
But still, maybe they could do a collaboration with Demonia or some other alternative shoe company and supply them with some pewter parts for the shoes? Did anyone see those shoes that Demonia made with bat and skull buckles? I was thinking along those lines. I like the idea, but the design Demonia used for the bats is horrible, I think Alchemy would do a much better job.

Ooh that'd be a brilliant idea! Demonia shoes as a base design and then Alchemy for all of the metal detailings..Aah..That'd be a pretty range..Although the cost would probably prevent me from buying. Demonia + Alchemy prices? *Faints* :S

I did see a girl wearing combat boots with a skirt when I was at an open day! She was leading our tour group. I really really wanted to ask her where she got her boots from (because they were so cute) but I didn't have the guts. I regret not asking!

I wore that look, but my combat boots have now been degraded to garden work and chew toy for the canine, but I do see reasonably a lot of girls wearing them with skirts. I wouldn't say they are a rare sight here.

On the topic of combat boots - Anyone know where I can get a reasonably petite pair?

The girl I saw wearing combat boots had a really cute, small pair that didn't make her feet look huge.
