Ben, while looking at my character, and veiwing my seal skinned coat, hat, silver cane, and expensive purfume bottle, I thought how neat it would be to buy or recieve different types of footwear from doing favors, so we can have a complete outfit. For the beginners they could make it to where they wear house slippers, sandles, or tennis shoes, then as their experience points goes up, make the shoes more expensive, such as aligator shoes, ostrich or lizard, elephant types of cowboy boots, and the same in ladies high-heels, plus maybe even allow lady detectives to choose expensive handbags made out of these types of animals.I thought it would look cool to be in shoes.. After all, we can't have detectives running about Sleuthsville without shoes on..hehehe. Also here another thought, you could have complete ski outfits, and skies, or scubba gear.

If you elect to not wear shoes then DON'T! If you win a favor, and the merchant gives you a pair of shoes, then sell them, and store the money up just in case you lose the next favor, then you can use the money from the sale of those shoes, to help BOOT you out of a hole. Besides,get rid of something else that's cluttering up the locker room. There's always room in my closet for shoes, if not....I'll make room. Like Sunny said, I have great taste when it comes to expensive and beautiful shoes. To me the hats could go, and lets wear shoes, for hats are more for fashion, (at least for the ladies), but shoes are a must in life. This is just my opinion!.

For me, hats are a must in life. Shoes are for fahion. Infact, I'm wearing a hat now!

I am a go ahead for shoes, IF, more room is added to the equipment lockers to compensate.

I like the shoes idea. But what I like even better, is a small item that can fit on your pocket. An item that is very rare to get, but gets you something very special. Like "a get out of jail free card" that can save you if you have 3 falses. Or if you exchange it you get a 100K. Or 1 month free subcription. An automatic win of a treasure hunt. Something like that.

Hey jojo...you just love giving MOM a hard time...ha! Not a bad hat by the way, but you can lose the bow tie..hehe. OH enough about shoes...let's give Ben & Sunny a break for crying out loud. I bet you two get weary from it all, or have a big laugh.

Ok, I dug to find this.

I still want shoes. My tooties are FREEZING.

If we can't have shoes, what about a "swanky dress?" Or, even if we CAN have shoes! I would like something charming that is as good as the smoking jacket but more feminine....who thinks a girls in a smoking jacket is extra charming?

Maybe I shouldn't ask that last question....

You're silly Moonshh...
but i like the idea of a swanky dress... maybe RED (lady in red....)
sorry, music in my head got carried away!

Hello there Elsey. I came to post an old & new idea on the board, when DaRu & footwear caught my eye. I thought,"who in the world brought this back up," then I checked & saw it was you. I'm glad you brought it back up. I was just looking at my character yesterday thinking I sure wish Ben would create some shoes for us to put on our characters. This would help in way of giving those extra points needed for our arch type. I just found out that we can no longer have two of anything at one time on us, for whatever reasons. I hated to hear this, since I usually purchase two tommy guns for our new tough detectives as they join, so they'll have at least 18+ in tough points. Now all I can buy is one tommy gun, a police badge, to go along with the rattle snake coat and hat, which totals 17+; however, it works well enough for the tough arch types, but more couldn't hurt, right? Thank goodness, one of our agents got to get two tommy guns before the new rule was in force,lol.

I like the red dress idea too Moonshh. It would be nice to wear a nice silk red dress with red sequins, and have red sequin shoes & matching bag, designed by: "Sunny Ringold,", the authority on shoes, hehe. At this point, anytype of shoes would be great to keep my toes warm..lol. Well, if we keep bringing it to his attention, maybe Ben will feel sorry for us & allow his wife to design some neat shoes for us all so we can show off our characters in a complete outfit.

Yay! Red flapper dress! I think he had this in the works before we wrote about this...
