Ballett Boots
RE: Ballett Boots
I wanna buy some ballett boot. But they must be strongenough at the toes, so I'm able to stand and to walk in them. Doesanyone have experiences in this topic?I found some shoes at punitiveshos.com but I don't know whether tehy are the right ones. Hope you can help me
RE: Ballett Boots
I think you should have a look at this thread on the forum over at HHPlace where the different makers of ballet boots and where to buy them is discussed.
I have ones made by Qualifetish and some of an unknown brand. The Qualifetish ones are fantastic quality but rather expensive. The Devious branded ones (made by Pleaser) seem to be getting a good reputation. Made in China, they are cheaper but the quality is reportedly pretty good.

RE: Ballett Boots
i would not recommend the Devious branded ones... i bought a pair from Madame S, and both heels broke when i stumbled and stepped backwards in them- one detatched from the sole, the other actually cracked in the middle. Very disappointing. i got to wear them three times, and now they're dead Oh, and one of the quick-lacers popped off the first time i tried to lace them up, but i was willing to live with that...

RE: Ballett Boots
Sorry to hear your experience of the devious ones is not good. The heels on that style of ballet boot are thin and more fragile than some of the other brands that have a thicker heel. Ballet boots and shoes always need a lot of care to stand and walk in.
Still, I've not seen before anyone reporting quite such problems. The speed-lace hooks should definately not come out. Perhaps the pair you had was a "friday afternoon special".

RE: Ballett Boots
I already thought about buying them, because they are not so expensive an do look very nice. I only have doubts, whether they are solid enough, to walk in them.What about you? Can you stand on them? they are selling these shoes onebay Germany too, so I would really like to buy them, if they don'tbreak

RE: Ballett Boots
Hi,Yes I can walk in them - not very well - but that's lack of practice!Standing is fine. I am able to stand OK, at first I couldn't stand orwalk, and they hurt my ankles, also after a few seconds I gotsevere cramp in my foot.Having practiced, I am now able to stand without cramp, or needing to hold on to the wallWalking is still difficult, as my right foot is not quite as flexable,so I tend to bend my right knee, if I keep it straight, and take itslowly, I am able to walk without holding onto the wall!FB.

RE: Ballett Boots
Eros boutique has a pair I would love to get. They are thigh high boots, but rather expensive. I'm not to sure of the quality either but so far I have not had a problem with anything else I have gotten from them.

RE: Ballett Boots
I've seen boots thigh high (Devious) on american eBay for US$99.99 (starting price). I'm seriously considering buying a pair for my wife. My main concern is brazilian corrupt customs officials, that have the habbit of "confiscate" (steal) packages with high declared value.But I'm about to get some extra cash, and I think I will take my chances. I'll also ask the seller to mark the package as "gift". That was the way I got my leather straight jacket shipped to me, and got it right to my door.Regards, BL

RE: Ballett Boots
Hi DR, I had some problems with my company firewall, they cut off all access to "discussion boards, BBS, forums, pornography, sex sites", etc, in their own words. I had to access the forum at home, when I had time, wich I don't have very often. But this new forum, at least by now, is not recognized by the firewall as one of the above. So I can access it from work. Let's see how long it will last.Regards, BL.

That said, I know most of the workarounds. One such work around is a site called Anonymouse. There are ads,but it works, here's the link: http://www.anonymouse.orgIt will hide the URL and your identity from the website in questionmaking it difficult for administrators to block access. The onlyreal way for them to block access is to block anonymouse itself.

*shhh!*Don't tell anybody!
RE: Ballett Boots
One thing I've wondered about ballet boots (apart from when I'm going to get some *grin*) is the sizing.
Still, sizing's always a pain with shoes, which is why I'm trying to work in a trip to Alternative Footwear http://www.alternative-footwear.co.uk/ to try some on.

RE: Ballett Boots
I've always heard that you have to go one size up when buying very high heels. But I'm not sure if it works for men buying women's shoes. I have never tried it myself.In time, thanks for the tip on how bypass the firewall. I'll give it a try when it becomes necessary.Regards, BLBrazil Leather38651.2788425926

Just as an update, the anonymouse access is blocked by our firewall. It seems that our tech guys are a little ahead of me...Regards, BL

RE: Ballett Boots
Hi, I have shoped at Punitive Shoes, and the can not be trusted. As soon the
deal is done, the ignore mails ect. I was trying to get the ballet changed ib
size - no luck.
Also the quality of the shoes, was realy bad, and the colour was fade.
So try thelittleshoebox.com This is the top place to get ballet shoes.
