In NY, F* Me's refers to 3+ inches high heels-- stilletoes, of course! and in last saturday's NY Times, (march 3, '01) there was an article about a New England puritan "law" that decreed any woman who used high heeled shoes to seduce a man, should be held to be a witch-- but it didn't define how high a heel was needed!

Doc Martins came and went as a fad in NY more than 10 years ago-- my daughter lived in them while in HS. when i was in high school, a low, suede boot- desert boots where all the rage. there is an ozzie shoe company that has gone international --(and right now for the life of me, i can't think of the name!) they make a very similar boot that is still sold.
