Hayley Shoes Poll

[Libby]

We've had an earring poll, so now it's time for a Shoe Poll! Most are from her concerts, media appearances, or photoshoots, but a few are more casual, such as part of her "arrival" or "after concert" outfits.
On some of the concert ones, I lost track of who took what, but I've labeled the ones I did remember.

I think the Dunstable one, #7, might be by Drew. It might've been the one where he gave her a HW rose, not sure though. I have one of her in the same top holding a rose.

I voted for #10, #11, & #16. I especially like #10. I like the design on the black shoes. I also like silvery shoes, which is why I chose the other 2.

[stevemacdonald]

Some of these shoes look extremely uncomfortable, like the red ones of #22, but at least they keep her on her toes. Hmm, has she ever sung barefoot? That would get my vote, just out of sympathy.

[tracy]

Wow, gorgeous shoes, definetly No. 1 for me but all beautiful.
great poll Libby.
much love Tracy.

She only sings barefoot when she can't use the piano pedals in her high heels ! Sandie Shaw always said she could sing better barefoot

[martindn]

Well, knowing nothing about such things I went for 22, 20 and 19. I would have voted for the white ones she wore on the Christmas Wishes tour this year, I had a very good look at those since they were eye level and about 4 feet away for mosyt of the Birmingham concert.

Martin, the only ones I saw her wearing for the Christmas tour this year were #18. They appear darker in the photos I posted, but they looked lighter in the concert photos. I'm positive they're one - or should that be two - and the same. The tour ones are definitely not white. Not any whiter than her skin, at least. They're definitely beige, not white. And the shape is exactly the same, too.They're flesh-colored shoes; they're sometimes worn, not to match the outfit, but to make to make ones' legs appear longer, or some silly thing like that. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif That's what I've heard, anyway.

Martin, you can always retract your vote if you believe me. :wink:

[martindn]

Hi Libby,

You are probably right, the right hand of your two photos under 18 look quite similar, although the colour is not quite as I remember it. They definitely looked white to me, and certainly whiter than her skin. I think she wore the some shoes at the RAH for the Big Sing (have a look at Dave's High Res video) and also for "The Angel and the Fallen" (I know you don't have that video). As I said, I had a pretty close look at them.

But the ones in your photo could look very similar apart from the colour. Could it be the lighting?

Hi Libby! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

What an excellent poll!

I voted for 16:



I loved these shoes the moment I saw them -- they're quite classic but they're interesting at the same time.

And 17:



I love these... the diamante heel and bow are so pretty.

And 19:



These are such pretty sandals and the diamante bling really makes them special.

Cheers,
Jillian

Oh, fun poll! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif I think Hayley has a great taste in shoes, but my personal favourites are 1, 17 and 21...

[Libby]

Yes, Martin, I'm pretty sure it's the lighting. It was darker in the photos I posted. Concert lights would be much brighter. Even the dress she's wearing appears a lighter color in the shots with Prince Harry then the one of her by herself. So I think both the shoes and the dress could appear lighter in brighter lights. I suppose it's possible they're the same shoe in slightly different colors, but since the colors would be nearly exactly the same, I kind of doubt it.

Maybe you should ask Sue what color she thinks they are. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif She saw them in person, too.

HI Libby

Great poll...my favorite Hayley shoes are in photos 1 , 9 ,and 20.

Thanks,
Joe

Hello Libby - great poll! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif

Can't believe I'm taking an interest in Hayley's footwear - you girls have got a lot to answer for LOL!!!

I've voted for 16, 17 and 18

16 because I think they are just so pretty and delicate
17 because they're very classy and the 'bling' is tastefully done
18 because they're fairly simple and I like the colour.

Incidentally, I'm fairly certain that these are the same shoes that Hayley wore during her "Christmas Wishes" tour, they certainly weren't white as Martindn seems to think (sorry Martin )

Best wishes
Grant

Hi Libby
I just couldn't make up my mind which shoes I liked most.. So I thought I'd try to determine how comfortable each pair would be to walk in. As soon as I'm released from the hospital I'm going to make my final decision. Does anyone know how long a hip fracture takes to heal.

This really is a great poll -- and I say that with no tone of sarcasm at all. It reveals brilliantly how far we've come as fans from the early days of wondering if her career would make it out of New Zealand into the wider world; of crossing our fingers in cautiously excited hopes that "My Gift To You" would be her break-out album; of ecstatic musings that her signing with a major label would bring about global success; of rejoicing when 'Pure" finally hit and made her a bona fide international singing sensation.

Fast-forward several years and a zillion spectacular performances later and it's all about the style, the image, the shoes. We are starting to realise Hayley is something of an icon now and has the footwear to prove it. Beautiful shoes that represent all the steps she has diligently taken to make her place in music history. Anyone following in her footsteps will have some very big (and stylish) shoes to fill. Her talent has ultimately made her so well-heeled it's only fitting we enjoy the uplift as visually represented in this poll.
