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.

have we all been running around bare foot? goodness me! i didn't notice! that's dangerous! what with being out side and all! we could step on glass or something! besides who's really going to take a barefooted detective seriously? LOL

Elsey, concerning steel toed boots for tough points, I don't think that a classy detective would want to wear what iron workers and/or construction workers wear to work...lol, unless they are afraid of getting their toes stomped on, but hey, you never know, it could happen. Then as for glass slippers, that could really hurt your feet after walking from merchant to merchant during questioning; plus, visiting 11 different suspects homes. I bet (if for real) one would feel like taking them off and breaking them....hehe. Ah I'm just giving you a rough time sweetie. Anyway, I just thought it'd be nice to at least have rattlesnake cowboy boots to match the rattlesnake cowboy hat and coat, then create different types for both men and women. Anyway, thanks for everyone's support of Kay's and my suggestion. I don't like my feet getting dirty anyway...yulk. Oh, and we can't let Vin's feet get frost bit..ha!

Foot wear sounds cool. How about Blue Suede, or aligator for Charm, Comfortable walking shoes for smarts, police boots for tough.

when i said steel toed, they come in cowboy boots too, not just workman's boots! :D

Great idea Bella. Like Elvis Presley use to sing: "Don't step on my blue suede shoes".I don't think you can get any tougher than aligator or elephant.Elsey, since I don't wear cowboy boots, my apoligies. That sounds good too.Hey I'd be willing to sport around in some jeans, cowboy boots and a hat...then you can call me "Annie Oakley"...ha! Maybe I better stick to wearing my mink coat, hat, and sissy stuff, so I can charm those tough guys, and sweet talk the ladies too. So far I haven't lost a case. Well ladies, with all of our suggestions, and under Sunny's supervision, I'm sure Ben will satisfy us all. I just thought shoes would make our characters look great.

Sunny....these weren't college entrance exams? Why didn't anyone tell me??? :)

Seriously, I don't think we ever should check on grammar. We have to keep in to account, that some people do not have English as a first language.

I want to have whatevertheyarecalled Ninja slippers! +6 on tough. :)

jstkdn, you passed the exam! congratulations!

No offense to anyone, but I personally don't like the idea. It would be a great addition, but I already have enough gear to worry about. And how would they all fit in our equipment lockers?

Good to know that Sleuth now qualifies for TOEFL (test of english as a foreign language), which actually *is* a college entry exam for foreigners applying for college in the US.

That, and I had to do a tuberculosis test. Ya know, because there is so much of that going around in Amsterdam. :)

As I applied for the University of Wintersota, they should just stuck me in an ice box, to test if I can stand the cold.

jojo.....most people put shoes at the bottom of a locker...they always seemed to fit just fine for me!
