June 23, 2012 - Twitter Pumps



These special pumps were designed for the Twitter-addicted bride in mind, adding the "something blue" to the wedding ensemble.

See more at Bit Rebels.

They're lovely.





[eta] every time I hear 'pumps' as a description for those kinds of shoes it sounds odd. What comes to mind for me with that description are these:

Here, I think we call those clodhoppers (n. 3. a coarse, heavy shoe, like a plowman's).

You haven't lived until you've seen Clodfobble in clodhoppers.

I think the Twitter pumps may be a rip off of the Two Turtledoves pumps.

Clodhoppers are big shoes and boots with thick soles. Those up there are canvass plimsolls. Thin little things. Made for running helter skelter across a school gym :p

I love those shoes even though they are way too high for me.

When I read the word pump I think of farts.
Not used in my part of the world, but Ant & Dec used it on SM:TV Live frequently.

(NB the above was a live children's Saturday morning show, it's not intended to be Clevah British Comedy)

I was just looking for a simple pair of navy blue pumps (for work)...navy blue is hard to find, really.

There are some of the most goddawful ugly stupid shoes out there. I doubt I even wear them when I get fired and have to start hooking.

you're thinking of Chuck Taylors, or Chucks. From Converse.

@ Sundae: I also have that meaning come to mind as well. the two are very much linked as childhood concepts.
