awfully bored of what I did there he run around taking these pictures

exactly. my trick is to change shoes quite often & excessive barefeet walking (last hurts sometimes too LOL).

thank you, pussyinboots.

of course it is also possible to walk those shoes for hours, but if not giving after that the feet the time to recover- and this will be more likely weeks not days- the more often worn & the older the person the more time needed,- the *high heel walking* is over very soon as well.

somebody who wants to wear high heels more often or in some few years too will avoid this kind of over exhaustion. Ballet dancers who end their carreer at 40 or usually even earlier because they cannot anymore are a good example- and for sure they are physically better prepared for strain like that.

having pain is clear sign of the body: it´s enough! there are days which are not for high heels, and one has to respect that (this is why bdsm in this is so dangerous).

Seems like you are repeating yourself. I don’t like to do that and go in circles.

You seem obsessed or overly concerned with the heels becoming loose or breaking off. Have you tried to get heels reinforced before you wear them?

Get a new pair of kassiopeya’s and bring them to a good shoe repair shop. Ask them to try to reinforce the heels so that they don’t break off so easily. For example, add some screws into (but not through) the heels.

oh it seems you really dont understand what i am trying to say.

yes i repeated it hoping i explained it better now.

May be it is because of my language handicap.

What about just trying the mentioned shoes - depending of your shoesize i can give you the opportunity too; also possible with lower shoes, and I am sure after trying on 4 *typical* pairs the right way you will know exactly what I mean.

Balletheels are extreme. speaking about the wobbly heel- they do not need to break nor it is a *malfunction* per se but when instable one just wont be able to walk them well if it is on the border to the physical ability of that moment.

LOL, it is no hat, it is horns to motivate my *camera-assistent* I have to do some compromises, e. g. filming where trains can be seen or similar. so I guess it was a hint for me that the red white thing there would have been his prefered motive in that picture:).

they had to remove them because of the red sole. still, searching for teeze 20 you will find some shops still offering the previous version. I believe hot-heels.ch still have them too.

there is somebody (codyheel?) altering his shoes and offering such heels on ebay. sure you can stand of those... on a ladder, as an example, LOL.

sorry, but once again, is in your quotes any comparison? My statements were not based on my own abilties or *feelings* on walkability alone. qualifetish might be the best, but in WHAT? as mean of bondage? compared to WHAT features? doubtlessly they were well made but as already said, it does not mean e. g. heel beeing really stable. Alot of people possess extreme high heels but wear them in bed only and then of course luxury of materials and well made shoe is more important than if the shoe will survive a walk outdoor (the stabler the heel feels the longer it can cope the pressure outdoor indeed). Also people tend to appreciate their 300 euro shoes more than those at 50 euro. the illias little shoebox balletheels I have are the most luxurous and wellmade balletheel I´ve ever seen but they are NOT that good for walking as devious balletheels (except for the lower heel). the extreme high ablemen heels I had were amazing all to optics as to craftmanship but they are NOT that good and stable for walking as any similar height modern china heels are. As already said, all I write as statement I feel beeing able to explain, to show and to prove resp. I have seen it *proved* in real life by alot of other people of different levels of abilities. So I would like but I cannot say anything about balletboots of qualifetish or ablemen, but as already said there isn´t also enough other information available that a statement would be possible. But I think alot of you know, even at a 13 cm heel some very expensive designerheels are less stable and less well walkable than some *cheap* china shoes though the last of course made of less beautiful and fine materials or less good looking etc. in the quote of bootlovers they write of EXPECTING not of wearing and comparing. may be you have found or read some statements after they got the balletheels? it would be interestint! The problem is, alot of people (here too) are writing of ablemen and qualifetish but obviosly without ever have worn any of those by themselves? This is what I wanted to point out again here if speaking about balletheels. walking balletheels, there are no wonders or nothing beyond of our natural physical abilties. you know, some are better in mathematics (I am very good in statistics, as an example ) and some in languages, but we all can learn that more or less good. And the same about balletheels. the most can walk them more or less well if facing it neutraly, not with all those fetish fantasy backgrounds. the last is the main reason for the most failing, because the *bdsm* trainings are quite the wrongest way to face the issue. As soon as somebody states wearing balletheels all day long over weeks doing normal work & shopping and all that stuff (except if one is sitting wheelchair of course) I can hardly believe any other information of those people either. also, I know some more people well walking balletheels. there are for sure much more but without the technical possibilties to share or simply staying discrete. the most are men. And as long as feet aren´t spoilt yet and may be some training first an other kind of movement (because otherwise falling)- balletdancers with en pointe experience are for sure able too. but the most would not because it is felt *pervert* . I´d say at least 1 % can- and this without any trainings as I did not have any and from people with similar abilities I know at least of some of these *good walkers* they did not have any too, even if they eventually say it differently in public. As to the rest, I haven´t got any statements about that. also I have met by now alot of people in *different levels* who wanted to have some balletheel lessons, also exchanging with alot virtually and at the end I can say there are several very different reasons why they fail. still two very typical problems of balletheeling are 1) the balance question- caused e. g. by less good general fitness 2) height of the balletheel. As soon in the heel-case it is cut lower resp. balletboots with a stable heel are chosen, people can walk! and for those with less balance feeling- devious has been a good choice till now causing kind of a feeling of wonder for those who have been walking and failed on kassiopeya balletheels, e. g. It is important of course to recognize where additional *points of difficulty* might be, but stabilty of the heel is really crucial if not a *good balletboot walker* from very beginning. I think, as we are here in a high heel forum and people interested in this topic from the view of real walkabilty, we might really try to gather reliable information about all those shoes, critically (!) filter the fantasies and the truth and may be give a statement at the end concerning all those brands which the new readers -balletheel lovers- balletheel walkers - will be able to adapt withouth the need of *inventing the bicycle again*.

well, it depends, LOL

yes! and, so crazy, this is why they feel really acceptable and wearable for public now (ok it depends on the style)- but still nothing I would have said about platforms of that height e. g. some 4 years ago.

the *forbidden* booties by pleaser (removed from they site after the claim of mr. louboutin but still to find in some shops) + stickers on the sole.

even if it´s getting hotter: there are also nice summer boots, e. g. made of fabrics.

usually for me easy to decide, but here I have to admit, here for me probably the cars are even more beautiful than the shoes ^^

Qualifetish ballet heels had a good reputation for being wearable and walkable. ... .

As already said, and here well to read, there is no reliable information about that.

If Spook would say qualifetish were well walkable I would believe as she probably had the comparison with LSB - (I believe too, it was LSB balletboots I have seen her wearing). But also a point, she seems to be very honest of what she says, and not simply repeating what we women recognize very well beeing male phantasies on these topics as alot of of ladies in net seem to do.

For the most others, especially about balletheels, it seems to me there is hardly another topic where people tell so many *facts* they just think well sounding without any real background. At least I do not know of any other topic where so many fairytales are told when in public and this differs so much of what comes out when it is about the truth. Is the reason may be just people WANT to hear things like that and start believing themselves what they say at one moment?

A fact is people describe very differently whats *well walkable*.

Generally for extreme high heels high price do not mean heels better walkable though materials better or they *feel* better- very often the *cheap* heels have more stability.

All I can is comparing lsb with pleaser devious and the other brands. So in this case devious might be of cheap materials and eyelets tear easily but the heel is well done especially considering the height and thickness. Extreme heels are extreme and walking balletheels, whereever makes an enourmous pressure on the shoe the most cannot cope. Well even either wellmade or not, they are normally NOT made for walking.

About qualifetish- there is a clip on youtube a young man walking balletheels he claims to be qualifetish/hotpeppers. Not sure, isn´t he a member here? Anyway the boots seem modified for me resp. heels cut but in some scenes it still seems the heels bend differently on each shoe inspite of an even surface so I would assume the walkability not very good in comparison with lsb or devious, even if they feel comfy. But I do not know. May be you would write some words here if you read this.

The point of gel pads resp. comparing with ability of people walking balletheels decades ago is not really an issue in my opinion. I do not use any pads either. Balletdance was very popular then too, if assuming that the abilities are similar and they did not use those pads there too. Also I believe there have always been a similar count resp. percentage of people who could do it as well as people today- only less possibilities to make clips/fotos or exchange information. On the other hand, the people were generally fitter, more sportive some 20 years ago, so may be they were even better. But also considering they did not have the opportunity I think there won´t be any reliable statement possible.

it is not because of balletheels (or trainers) nor heels per se nor arches but because of deformation of toes which the most high heels can cause if one does not take care enough resp. give the feet the possibilty to recover. the most natural foot position is barefeet on the earth and toes straight and slightly apart from each other (not exactly the prefered fetishists view LOL). but especially at high heels the most usual form is almond toe box which would press toes together- which can become the steady toe position with worst case hallux valgus. but also alot of low heeled or no heel shoes have quite pointy toe boxes. by high heels the effect is enhanced through the natural pressure of feet slipping forwards in the shoe. While having straight healthy toes one would choose shoes a size larger, even few month of wearing often such shoewear without *working against* (the younger the feet the faster) makes especially big toe slope which allows wearing smaller size, especially in tight-toebox-shoes. which some think feet shrinking. actually reversed; feet get larger with the age. by the way very pointy and long toe boxes as at gml stiletto heels e. g. can be quite healthy as actually giving the toes enough space trough the length and not pressing them together.

could you make a videoclip of those to show they walked live, may be? it will be really appreciated. but, the actual problem is of course, that they aren´t available any more and extremely rare.

a dream of mine is still to have a that style perfect-fit knee high boot with such a heel for everyday wear... I believe it would be very practical, and oh-my- so beautiful .

hihi.

@persephone: welcome

The most suggestions here will be concerning the taste of the writer, what they would like somebody see wearing and doing, and not really whats practicable or real . So decide on your own taste and feelings . Especially the last is very important for balletheels- I guess you want to be able to walk balletheels in some 2 years as well, and not only for some party time spoiling your feet for ever, right? Fetish-free, sportive long time term aproach (dance, ballet, sports) will be here healthier. So, happy heeling and have fun:).

As to balletheels:

The thinner and higher the heel, the better looking is a balletheel (though my absolute optical favorites still are alberto balletheels -> http://www.hhplace.org/ultra_high_heels/9300-unique_ultra_high_beautiful.html - though copied but not reached yet)

A matter of fact is: there is no reliable information about walkability of ablemen balletheels, and I haven´t found any reliable experience about walkability of hotpeppers balletheels as well.

So the cheap kassiopeya balletheels look like the last but after an hour of walk the heels become wobbly so no really elegant walk- at least outside with uneven pavement will be possible.

I had a pair of ablemen 6 (or more) inch heels, and if their balletheels were made the same way, which I would assume, they won´t be better walkable than kassiopeya balletheels. but cost much more, and one´s heart would really bleed if the heel at such shoes would break, right?

Illias Little ShoeBox balletheels (aren´t Marro´s balletheels similar?) are of an amazing craftsmanship, the shoe is pure luxury and beautifully made but they are not that ergonomic and stable for walking as LSB Balletheels were, even though the heel is better made as that of LSB ballets; even steel tipped- at the other hand they are not that fine looking /not such a *fetish* foot shape and thin long heel as at devious either.

Italian balletheels resp. those of punitive shoes are fine leather and nice craftmanship, also well walkable for those who cannot cope the heels height of devious balletheels, but still I would say they are made for sitting and beeing adored and not really for a longer walk beeing very wide at foot and ankles and of very supple materials.

Doubtlessly though not that fine looking (resp. because of the lower and thicker heel), LSB balletheels are the best for longer walking considering their stability, ergonomics and craftmanship.

So I would say, till now - there is no real alternative to devious considering all: availability, optics, quality and price...

what ever- I would not refuse

ehm, right!

I believe there were balletboots with overlong heels too, but not sure anymore as I cannot find the pictures.

but here a nice gallery with some of those

http://www.wallpaper.com/gallery/art/fetish-louboutin-and-lynch/17050136/1#15529

but about those 8 inch: or somebody just mixed up cm and inches (this has happened to me too making a description of 16 inch heels while it was *just* cm), - and somebody else made it right away *news*....

I have to confess, I have no idea. the only point is I think it is actually not an issue of religion at all, though people often try to make it look like it was...

oh it is is a little bit ironic because so many men who would like to wear high heels in public are complaining they are *not allowed* to because they might be meant women´s shoes. everytime reading this I ask my self where the problem is. one does not have to make *outings* but still the most problems are doubtlessly in the head of one self.

for me, it depends. the real freedom about style (and heels) IMO is, to go following ones own taste or moods but neither aiming beeing *different* nor doing what´s eventually expected by others. and yes it takes some courage sometimes.

may be it is about the louboutins exhibition with david lynch in paris?

balletheels made for it might have been eight inches high.

well sometimes it seems quite alot of people of any other religions would like to *ban* anything whats new or different (incl. high heels, or outfits which might be considered immodest because not traditional) too... I really hope internet resp. new media will make people more tolerant as to such things. Comments of people concerned would be interesting...

may be yes may be not but who cares? not me
