Ok, a little later than promised. There's an awful lot of popstars out there you know - chasing them for feet photos to fill your insatiable desires is a full time job. The final CSS shoes have made me wince, it's so so brutal. All those bruises, all that muck, I'd feel embarrassed about even walking round the supermarket looking like this. I feel most sorry for that prestine white cushion, its going to get ruined. This is just reckless. Worst of all, if those bruises are serious then the horror of going into hospital wearing those shoes would be grim. It's like wearing good pants to hospitals, it matters what you put on your feet. When Mrs Popstar Feets went into surgery a few months back she wore little yellow strappy sandals that matched her knickers. That's pure class.

Cansei De Ser Sexy Part Twotag:www.popstarfeets.co.uk,2006://1.1092006-07-13T15:43:43Z2007-10-16T11:17:05Zhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/css2.jpgHelenhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/
Its quite hard to see where the socks start and the hairy legs end, they do merge into each other somewhat. Blimey. Theres something quite appealing about a man of rock with hairy legs, far too often these boys have spent their puberty wearing jeans so skinny that they've only developed hair on the front of their calves. Mr CSS obviously spent his entire puberty naked from the waist down, there's not a single hair missing here. I'd rather not mention the pants. Popstar Feets had a good convent education and doesn't want to be corrupted by such filth.

Its not often that we fall head long in love with a band, because frankly, McFly and tough to beat and most people shoudln't bother. But Cansei De Ser Sexy are amazing. In every way. It is for this reason that we have given them the equivalent of their own drawer in the Popstar Feets house - a three day residency. So to bring you into full party spirit for the weekend, go ahead and gaze. They deserve it don't they? Just look at these boots. I want to lick them.

The Bridge Gangtag:www.popstarfeets.co.uk,2006://1.1072006-06-30T15:19:35Z2007-10-16T11:19:36Zhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/bridge-shoes.jpgHelenhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/
We are jealous. Very jealous. Lucy from The Bridge Gang has such darling little shoes. So Milly Molly Mandy. Just super! Spiffing! Tremendous! I can imagine her with baskets of strawberries in her arms, skipping through the fields and singing about kittens in these shoes. That is she is singing whilst wearing the shoes, not singing about kittens that are actually wearing the shoes. Somewhere far away some boys wearing brogues would be sat in a damp cave and crying.

Tiger Forcetag:www.popstarfeets.co.uk,2006://1.1062006-06-20T17:39:39Z2007-10-16T11:23:27Zhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/tigerforce.jpgHelenhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/
Leopard print pumps raise issues with me. Go to any indie disco and you'll see about 90% of the girls there wearing them with those god awful footless tights. Thank god Tiger Force haven't teamed pumps with those tights. Technically, they're great shoes, really fun and in dull company would make you feel rather racey; so is it that wrong to dislike them just because everyone wears them? Yes. Most definitely. Ok, so I may be an advocate of the skinny jeans and vintage heels look, but you won't catch a single Popstar Feets employee in pumps this summer. We're just so left of the field. Oh yeah.

Dustin's Bar Mitzvah Talk Shoestag:www.popstarfeets.co.uk,2006://1.1052006-06-19T16:06:46Z2007-10-16T11:34:06Zhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/dbmlogo.jpgHelenhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/
Occasionally I think it'd be wise to put more effort than just 'take pic, slate shoes'. So not only is there now a gig guide in the far column, but we've also got off our arses and interviewed someone. So here's Dustin Bar Mitzvah's thoughts on footwear. Its insightful. Popstar Feets: Last time Popstar Feets saw you boys, you hadnt eaten in days through poverty. Confess, youd spent all the money on shoes hadnt you? Dustins Bar Mitzvah: Yes. In Japan I bought 3 pairs of shoes. One of them is orange, though I never wear them, one is white and one black. Well spankers. PF: Are you still taping your shoes up with gaffa tape? DBM: No, not on purpose, though Rob's shoes were lost for a bit in Pete's house cos its too messy. PF: If theres no gaffa to hand can you recommend anything else to hold your shoes together in times of need?. DBM: Poo. PF:Have you ever matched your shoes to coordinate with your t-shirt? Or even worse your belt? DBM: No. We've got 1 or 2 t-shirts each and a belt each, except Rob who has string PF: As your earn millions from your pop career will you start doing an Elton and spend thousands on sequinned brogues? DBM: No, just bumming David Furnish. PF: Converses unique, gutsy and stylish or dull, commonplace and not waterproof enough? DBM: They're like The Kooks. PF: How many pairs of Converses have you got between you? DBM: None at the moment. PF: Do you share shoes or has someone (Im guessing Dave) got a verucca problem? DBM: No. My shoes are the fucking best anyway. No one's got veruccas ,they don't let us in swimming pools. PF: When your shoes are falling apart what point should you just give up and throw them away? DBM: it depends what state your jeans are in, if your jeans are pretty new you got to keep them looking kind of in step with the rest of the fallapartingness. PF: Do your mothers despair of your footwear when you go home and offer to take you out to buy new ones? DBM: All dead. PF: What do you think about the gaffa tape averse folk, who insist on box fresh trainers every morning? A worthwhile expense or possibly mad? DBM: Cunts. PF: Have you ever stage dived/crowd surfed and got your shoes stolen? Apparently its called mosh lobbing. DBM: No, you've got to tie your laces up or the tinkers will get you. PF: People chuck their shoes at Mystery Jets does the same thing happen to you lot or is it just because Mystery Jets are a bit poo? DBM: No I think its cos the grey haired one looks like a cobbler, they chuck beer at us cos Rob looks like he works at Wetherspoons. Well there we go. That was worth the effort wasn't it? Hmmm...

Yeah Yeah Yeahstag:www.popstarfeets.co.uk,2006://1.1032006-06-13T14:09:47Z2007-10-16T11:45:27Zhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/yyy-shoes.jpgHelenhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/
If you laid all the Popstar Feets pictures side by side they'd stretch for 17 miles*. You guessed right, thats because its the 100th Popstar Feets picture. Amazing. Our proper queen isn't really known for her footwear, so we sent back the centenary letter she posted to us. We worship another queen, Miss Karen O, she's teh sex. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs wear the crown well, we couldn't love them any more if we tried. Look at those little red boots, they're just perfect. * I actually tried to work this out properly but clearly failed miserably.

Pull Tiger Tailtag:www.popstarfeets.co.uk,2006://1.1022006-06-07T14:30:36Z2007-10-16T11:48:45Zhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/pull-tt-shoes.jpgHelenhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/
According to colour psychologists, weight lifters who wear blue are able to handle heavier weights. Maybe this is Pull Tiger Tail's plan, they've all got some blue in their shoes somewhere and so are trying to draw on the colour's mystical powers for their rock efforts. Its a good plan. For future reference wearing green the night before a big event is bad luck and wearing pink will sap your opponent of his or her energy!

My Architectstag:www.popstarfeets.co.uk,2006://1.1012006-06-01T17:00:54Z2007-10-16T11:50:39Zhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/myarchitectsfeets.jpgHelenhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/
Popstar Feets has made me millions, I get a helicopter to work and my lunch is always cooked by a chef with so many Michelin stars he sprinkles them atop my salads. I'm not a greedy person though, I don't want to get too rich, so I put this business idea out for you paupers - someone please, please, please start a company making some interesting footwear for men. With the exception of those grubby monostrosities at the top of the picture, My Architects all own shoes which have been on Popstar Feets before. We need our men to wear something colourful, something with tassles or stripes. We need them to wear shoes that shout 'Look - I'm interesting and into yellow polka dots!' You'd make billions if you designed them.

Hot Club De Paristag:www.popstarfeets.co.uk,2006://1.1002006-05-18T12:01:29Z2007-10-16T12:00:19Zhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/HCDP-shoes.jpgHelenhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/
I'm not usually stumped for things to say, its fairly easy to impart patronising advice to those unfortunate souls with less than stunning footwear. But what can I say about Hot Club De Paris? OK, the shoes aren't that great, but they're clean, they have truly amazing socks and even their turn ups match. Maybe this is what my Popstar Feets army could look like, all only wearing one shoe and having good length turn ups. They'd march from city to city giving out pearls of wisdom and throwing into the stocks those who refuse to take off their Green Flashes.

Johnny Borrell from Razorlighttag:www.popstarfeets.co.uk,2006://1.992006-05-16T10:58:04Z2007-10-16T12:22:07Zhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/razorlight_shoes.jpgHelenhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/
Working in a mine and wearing white is never a good combination. Johnny Borrell from Razorlight will never get these shoes super virginal white again. Despite white being this season's high street look of choice it is one that requires a little specialist attention. You can't live a normal life whilst wearing the colour of the angels, you must must employ someone to lay down their coat over puddles for you and should really live inside one of those big travel bubbles for a while. Grubbiness is not an option.

Some boys are just greedy. Two Popstar Feets appearances? Maybe this could be justified if the shoes were worthy of such fame, but as I droned on about in the last entry these shoes are the grot. I'm liking the Isle Of Man flag theme going on here though, I can imagine Fields dressed as Manx cats with no tails. It'd be hot for sure.

This is just like an Easter egg, something beautiful and delicious surrounded by something far less appealing and rather cheap looking. I think these shoes were probably made from the skins of virgin Easter bunnies, they are that cute. The Fields boys on either side probably made their shoes from the rotting flesh of pumpkins. Halloween sucks.

Chikinkitag:www.popstarfeets.co.uk,2006://1.962006-04-11T13:13:48Z2007-10-16T12:34:55Zhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/chikinki-shoes.jpgHelenhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/
Oohhh...this is a true masterpiece, well lit, good focus, its any wonder I'm not the official royal photographer. On first glance Chikinki are truly original, with such shoes as would amaze even the fussiest diva like indie boy. But my elephant memory serves me well and alas, they've simply nicked the genius from Twisted Charm . Ok, so its not exactly the same, but I'm sure that in many shoe courts Chikinki woudl find themselves slapped with a hefty fine for fraud. Those pesky kids.

Jamie Ttag:www.popstarfeets.co.uk,2006://1.952006-03-29T11:51:16Z2007-10-16T12:37:37Zhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/images/jamiet-shoes.jpgHelenhttp://www.popstarfeets.co.uk/
Ah, Reeboks, Jamie T is just such a geezer. I was worried he'd be wearing a pair of pointed toe brogues and the whole 'indie man from the streets' front was a lie. Reebok Classics can be worn by anyone of course, but it takes a special kind of skill to be able to pull them off. You must rock the shoulder swagger walk. Think Bez, think monkey, think of anything other than the catwalk glide. If you walk without any kind of swing whilst wearing the Classics you will look like a knob. I guarantee it.
