Glad to see someone else is on to this:
http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/stor ... 82,00.htmlIT'S one of the most stylish streets in Adelaide, but according to a group on social networking website Facebook, strutting along it can leave you open to an embarrassing fashion faux pas.
More than 400 women have descended on the group I've had my heels stuck in Rundle Street, created by two Adelaide women living in London.
Adelaide City Council has acknowledged the problem and is examining options including re-paving Rundle St.
The virtual group reveals postings of war stories where beloved (and often expensive) heels are wedged between the footpath on Rundle St.
Member Mia Dion, of Walkerville, said she often has to stop dead in her tracks to elegantly "yank-out" her heels from the clutches of gaping cement.
"The way the pavers are set, the grout is missing, and needs to be refilled," Ms Dion said.
"The council really should do something about it, or re-pave it."
Another member, Linda Romeo, of Vale Park, said despite the problem, women refused to give up Rundle St, or their heel fetish.
"We need the height, and heels look fantastic," she said.
The site acknowledges the role that cocktails from the street's numerous upmarket bars can play in the problem, but members claim that heel and ego damage can strike at any time.
Lord Mayor Michael Harbison said it was a "real" issue. "(It) plays merry hell with stiletto heels," he said.
""We are . . . working with some manufacturers, to try and come up with an edge that's durable, but doesn't create the wedge-shaped gap," he said.
You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.
