2:48
single, 1964
Written by Tommy Tucker and Billy Davis
This blues swing number was written as an answer song to Tucker's own blues classic "Hi-Heel Sneakers." It's celebrating the comfortable low-heel shoe, which the narrator wears to match her beau's spats and calfskins. "Ain't wearing no high-heel sneaker / Cause they hurt my toes so bad." DeSanto's bluesy growl, the blues guitar lines, and tinkling piano all bring a lot of fire to this otherwise kind of silly song. Her Fun fact: DeSanto's birth name was Peylia Marsema Balinton. Imagine that on a marquee!
