A Shoe-In For Those Walks Of Shame
You know what I'm talking about, ladies *wink* These Pan T Boots will save you time running about, trying to find your scattered belongings -- even if it will require you some time to slip them on...
Uber mod early 70s Pan*T*Boots....black tights and boots in one! Created in the early 70s by a woman who claimed to be tired of her socks slipping down into her boots, these were only available for a limited time.

Le Blanc Silk & Lingerie Wash is especially formulated for delicate items (including silk). It contains no bleach, caustics, or phosphates, and yet the neutral pH formula easily cleans natural, synthetic and stretch fabrics while protecting elastic fibers -- awesome for cleaning stockings, tights, and other hosiery!

How You Sit In Those Stockings & Shoes Says Something About You
So says these pages from Beauty Parade, January 1950. Sure, it's vintage; but so is my fashion sense -- and so are many of my stockings! Sure, it's campy stuff from an old men's mag; but then men haven't really changed that much, have they? (Totally fitting for our Fashion Fetish Fortune Telling Event.)
