”We’re definitely selling a stronger, chunkier shoe for spring,manola,” said Judy Collinson, the general merchandising manager of Barneys New York, pointing to good sales from a number of lines, including Robert Clergerie, which has several stacked-heel sandals; Ann Demeulemeester; and Guillaume Hinfray, a French designer who has worked for companies like Sergio Rossi and Dr. Scholl’s, and has been selling his own brand at Barneys for more than a year.
 Mr. Hinfray, who frequently draws on his Norman roots, works with materials like suede and metal studs, and has created a Perspex-heel clog for summer. ”I wanted to make shoes that I wasn’t able to do for other companies,” Mr. Hinfray said. ”Something very feminine, sexy and rough, all at the same time.” He paused. ”Of course, you can buy sexy and feminine from Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik. But, in a way, you know what you’re getting.”
 To judge from the action last week at the Blahnik boutique on East 54th Street and the shoe salon at Bergdorf Goodman, Carrie Bradshaw’s favorite designer does not appear to be hurting. ”We’re having one of our best springs,” said George Malkemus, the chief executive of Manolo Blahnik in the United States, who just returned from a two-week trip to Neiman Marcus stores.
 Although Mr. Blahnik now carries a somewhat thicker heel, in response to fashion, he has no intention of reissuing his earlier platforms. He is a little bit like Mr. Alaia in that sense. Neither has any interest in going backward. In 1984, Mr. Blahnik designed two platform pumps, which he called Daisy and Cosmo and which were inspired by Bette Davis in ”Now, Voyager.”
 But as Mr. Malkemus recalls, when American stores asked Mr. Blahnik nearly a dozen years ago if he might do a chunky sole (in response, again, to fashion), he refused. ”I remember Manolo saying, ‘I hated platforms in the 80’s, and I hate them now,’ ” Mr. Malkimus said. ”The stores were kind of nervous. We ended up having the most phenomenal season that year.”
 Some young designers sympathize with Mr. Blahnik. ”I hate platforms!” said Alexandra Neel, a 27-year-old Paris shoemaker, whose delicately detailed shoes are sold at stores like Jeffrey and Barneys. Curiously, Ms. Neel said her inspiration is not chic Parisiennes of the Loulou de la Falaise era, but rather Carrie Bradshaw’s sisters. ”This new American generation of girls really understands what I do,” Ms. Neel said. ”They want to be attractive and sexy but not vulgar.”
 Yet memories are inevitably short. As Ms. Price points out, young designers often look to Mr. Blahnik as their reference library. Charles Jourdan, Salvatore Ferragamo — ”That’s prehistory to them,” she said.

ELAM: And also, these are considerably heavier than the other ones.
STEPHENS: They are a little bit heavier.
ELAM: Yes.
STEPHENS: They are.  I mean they’re a little weightier, but I guess that’s – you’re carrying around a microchip, so I’m sure that’s to be expected.
ELAM: They are pretty light.
STEPHENS: Yes.
ELAM: I’m wondering – you know, I’m sitting here looking at all this stuff – Regina and Mary, if you have any questions here about your sneakers, you know, if – you guys look like you’re healthy.
REGINA LEWIS, CNNfn ANCHOR, THE FLIPSIDE: Who knew?
MARY SNOW, CNNfn ANCHOR, THE FLIPSIDE: I know.  Five million calculations a day.
LEWIS: It’s a ski boot, for God’s sake.  Now, a lot of these things – you mentioned odor.  You mentioned injury prevention – forgive me.  What about cellulite reduction.  I was reading something about that.&nbsp,manolos; You’re from "Fitness" magazine.  Doable?
STEPHENS: Yes.  They do have a shoe that they have been talking about as cellulite reduction, but I’m told that that’s a misnomer.  You can’t really get rid of the cellulite with your shoe.
LEWIS: Such a shame.
SNOW: Maybe next year.
STEPHENS: Yes.
SNOW: But, you know, I also wanted to ask you, have you tried these shoes by adidas .Does it really make a difference?  Does it feel very different?
STEPHENS: You know, this is a prototype.  The actual shoe will be out in December, and this is, I believe, a size nine, and I’m a size six.  So I have not tried it.
ELAM: Hmm, interesting, a size nine.  Well, Betsy Stephens, thanks so much – from "Fitness" magazine.&nbsp,manola; And this is all in the current issue of "Fitness" magazine, correct?
STEPHENS: Yes.
ELAM: Very good.  Thanks so much.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
ELAM: Today on THE FLIPSIDE, we’re all about comfort, from sneakers and now to pajamas.  Get you pillows fluffed, because our next guest is a pajama party expert, having thrown 300 of them herself.  She is a pajama designer.  Karen Neuburger here who, from scratch, started her own sleepwear business that now has turned into a highly successful brand name.
Karen, thanks so much for stopping by.
