When I got married, (thirty years ago this year - where did all the time
go?), I needed flat shoes as I was recovering from an ankle injury. My
local shoe shop took on the challenge and found me a pair of white tap
shoes. The metal 'taps' were removed from the soles, the shoe laces at
the front was replaced with ribbons, and they looked very good. They
are not like a lace-up brogue, but are open at the front, with a little
strap coming up from either side and meeting over the instep; each strap
has just two little holes to thread through the ribbon tie. The upper
is made from what looks like a white linen canvas, and the sole is very
supportive - most comfortable. At that time I'd nver heard of lace
making, it was just another factory-woven fabric to me; but now I can
see all sorts of possibilities for adding lace decorations. Maybe
someone else will be inspired?

today - but then, that's March, 'in like a lion', let's hope it will
soon turn into a lamb, ready for its going out).
