That's what I remember from the early stories. It may have been Dan Abrams who reported it after looking at the photos. I'm almost positive she arrived only partially shod.
Yes, a sight, and perhaps clue one to the boys that this was no $400 "pro."
Those shoes have strappy ankles instead of a regular full top heel that covers the back of the foot - meaning the heel of Mangum's foot, not the heel of the shoe itself, like pumps do. If I tried to walk in those 6" platform heels, with basically no ankle or heel support, down steps, drunk or sober, the smart money would be on me taking a header by step #2.
