Winklepickers AKA Pickers AKA Pikes AKA the newest subject of my shoe lust:











Vegan pickers by Ethical Wares, a Wales based cruelty-free accessory and footwear shop.


Badass men's 60's style winklepickers. @ Atom Retro

"Dawn" pickers from Pennangalan

The bummer about it though is that it's near impossible to find winklepickers outside of the U.K. The style is still quite underground in comparison to creepers, which have gained a lot of mainstream popularity in the last couple of years (oh the mysteries of fashion trends..they never cease to surprise). It seems that most of the pairs I looked at sell for under $100, but that calculation is without shipping charges.
