Agreed. I've had a slightly better look at the 1969 range of courts, and it's been quite illuminating. Here are two styles that meant their range was originally excluded from my interest about the time I was made aware of the Renzi boots: Platforms, and long (comfortable) toe box (a la Rosa) but not good for walking in. Sadly. But....... At least two styles that are of interest! The plastic shoes, made in China.... A nice looking shoe, but only listed in smaller sizes, so far as I can see. Typical of those coming from China. But, their classic court, well ...... Jackpot! Any size up to EU42 (or 43 depending on the listing), which is likely bigger than my shoe size, if experience with the Renzi style is anything to go by. The next issue .... Cost. I'll have to keep an eye on the auctions, see what I might get a pair for. "Feedback" suggests £55 with £15 carriage isn't uncommon.

I only mentioned 'sideways tipping' to emphasise the application of the c-o-g 'plumbline'; I agree that it is not directly relevant to our current considerations - although it is not something to be totally ignored when standing or walking - in heels and sober or otherwise! I won't comment further on hypotheses or experiments as I believe we are both essentially saying the same thing, albeit reaching it by slightly different routes.
