Hi Perrie,
Yeah I feel your pain there too about thinking it was mod but was only a resizer menu. I thought, not cool, but got over that. I thought it was not cool because I bought thinking I could edit to my avatar, not -1 or -2. Didn't work well.
But this hud thing for shoes is for the birds. I found some great 1linden clogs on SL Marketplace and they are cute, and then I have pumps too, forgot to add that. But pumps don't look that good with everything.
Oh well, merchants are gonna lose in the long wrong 'cuz they spend too much time on photoshop instead of on the sims were the bots are either bare foot, or if female doing the boots, pumps, sneakers thing.
The 1 linden clogs I found come in black, red and navy. Thanks to the person who offered those 'cuz they look cute with Summer dresses or shorts, etc.
I hope this hud are just a phase of SL and will soon fade away. What a royal pain.
