Well, did'ya ever try running while wearing platform shoes AND elephant bells? A recipe for disaster, man.
Somehow I never had platform shoes, but I did (briefly) have a pair of Earth Shoes, or more likely, cheap Bargain Town knock offs.
For the young and innocent, Earth Shoes were some kind of hippy-inspired footware that were higher in the front than in the heel.
We learned quickly they messed with your center of balance when first wearing them - so you could give your Earth Shoe-wearing friend a quick push on the chest and they'd fall back onto their tush.
Good times!
