Photo! Photo! This gotta have a photo! I have no idea from the description (beyond a vague notion) what these look like. FurnaldHall (talk) 01:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Not Amazon

"The very extended winklepicker toe for women has recently been reintroduced by English shoe designers, Roger and Sarah Adams. The shoes are exclusively made in Italy for their own label, RoSa Shoes, and can only be bought online.<ref>[http://www.rosashoes.com Stilettos by RoSa Shoes]</ref>"

Goth subculture

edit

Goth's have been wearing them since the 80's.

to add, I'm not super familliar with wiki editing rules so I'll stick to talk, but the role of winklepickers in goth is really understated in this article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:8A89:390:6128:EC08:C18:AA12 (talk) 19:21, 23 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Pathé film

edit

Supporting the evidence of Stan's of Battersea: https://www.britishpathe.com/video/winklepickers this 1960 film mentions and shows Stan Bartholomeu creating the fashionable footgear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.115.47.154 (talk) 07:44, 22 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Leningrad Cowboys

edit

are not a similar style of footwear. They're just another band that may or may not use winklepickers. (It's not sourced here or even mentioned there.) They aren't especially important afaik and the shoes aren't especially important to them or their fandom as far as the article says, let alone sources. It's fine to laundry list them with the others in the section on use in music if we're just keeping a general list (although it should be sourced) but there's no reason to list them separately in the #See also. — LlywelynII 00:55, 29 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
