I have a question to all the ballet heels fan and owners out there. I notice when I walk in my ballet's that the toe box area is wrinkled up, etc. Is this because the heel is too long and I am placing too much pressure on the toes and should be putting more on the heels?? Peta or anyone who is an experienced ballet heeler could you please help. I want to make modifications to them according to the instructions on youtube but I want to decide first if the box area is wrinkled because of the heel or just me. Thanks again.

Thanks, could everyone also include the Metro stop, I do not know my way around the street but I do know the Metro and Underground very well thanks. Preferably as well London shops I will have more time there. Thanks again. Also, im looking for fetish shoe shops and any fetish shop.

Help please, I am in Europe for the first time and I would like to experience a fetish shop and try on some heels in person myself. Could someone please tell me where in London or Paris, like downtown, I may find a few fetish shops so I can go experience them?? As well if possibly the Tube or Metro stop so i can take the subway there and I know where i am getting of at. Thanks very much I really want to experience and try on heels for a few hours.

Hello there, I just purchased a pair of ballet heels and I was wondering what advice is out there in regards to helping me get closer to being able to extend my legs out as well as helping me be able to eventually walk in them. They fit great, they are tight when I tie them so my feet do not slide down in them and they stay where I need them too. Please give me any advice out there that people have that might be able to help me. Thanks.

Thanks for the responses so far. I presently have a pair of 7 inch heels that i can stand in but they are too challenging to walk in. I am looking for a good heel that is about 6 1/2 so it is challenging but something that i know i can accomplish with. And i want a pair of ballet's but i dont see spending the money to get a pair. im still hoping i can find someone on here who has an old pair that would be willing to get rid of them for cheap just so i can try them out and maybe see if the size is right and slowly get into them.

Hello everyone, I know there are alot of people out there that have 7 inch heels (without platforms) as well as there are lots that have ballet heels and maybe even both. I was wondering what everything thinks as far as which shoes are mor challenging?? One puts the pressures on the toes in the downward position and the other put pressure on keeping the toes pointed upward more. Which ones do people think and why?? As well as maybe there is a different in maybe the 7inch heels in pump or oxford form compared to boot form. Thanks for the responses.

Thanks JIMC thats exactly the answer I was looking for. If I can keep the ballet heels on for alittle and stretch out the ankle, I should be able to wear my extremely high heels.

If used properly, will ballet heels keep the ankle locked and pointed in a downward position even then the ankle is relaxed?? If so which ballet heels are the best for this, ankle, knee, or thigh-high ballet heels??

Marcus do you know of anywhere I can find something like special arches or something like you are talking about that I am find and look into. Any help on this subject is very much appreciated.

That was my biggest problem that I realized I would face. Is there anyway to keep the toes pointed down or kind of force them down?? If not for the entire night which could be bad, but for atleast a shorter duration and then relax and repeat?? I almost thought about figuring a way to pull the toes of the shoes back so the toes would be pointed down, would you have any ideas of how to pull that off as well??

Hello everyone, I have a new pair of high heels that are a little bit too high for me right now and my ankles are not used to the steep arch. I love the shoes very much and I want to be able to walk in them without any problems. I understand, practice practice practice and I am doing that as of now, BUT does sleeping with the heels on help at all with allowing the ankles to get used to the steepness of the heels. I was thinking about sleeping with them thinking that my ankles would probably be soar but they might get used to be pointing down more. Then I thought about it more and I'm not sure if it would even help. If anyone has any suggestions on if this would help or any other way to help train the ankles to become comfortable in a steeper position involving the heels on or off, please let me know. Thanks

I am looking into purchasing a pair of Ballet Heels, my first pair!!!! and Im curious as to what everyone would suggest as to which kind or style I should buy. I have a fairly large range of ankle flexibilty to begin with so the extension of the ankle Im not too worried about. But as far as the overall ankle support and the best chances of me being able to straighten my legs all the way. Guess anyone suggest just getting the Ballet Heels, Ankle length, Knee Highs, or thigh highs. Which style of heels gives the best ankle support and overall support for the feet, ankles, and legs in general. Any suggestions is very much appreciated. Thanks. p.s. I was leaning towards the thigh heels because just from the look I was guessing they are the best ones even though the price is alittle higher than just the basic shoes but I could be totally wrong.

I was reading a high heels story from on this forum and I read something that interested me. I am almost there in walking in 5 inch heels perfectly, well to the point where I could walk in public in them. I read about stockings that were made to help support the foot and make the foot walk more on the toes and support the arch. Is there such a thing as stockings that can help walking in high heels?? Also are there any other clothing outfit type of things, corsets, etc. that can help with posture and walking more elegantly?? Thanks for the responses.

Thanks for all the responses. Does anyone possibly have a used pair of ballets that they are willing to get rid of?? I would need a larger size, women's 14 or 15. I would love to find something cheap to get used to the heel and get my ankles used to them. I do not mind if they are older and worn on the toes because they will be used as mainly a training aid. Thanks again and I would love it if someone would have a pair they are willing to sell and separate from.

I am looking at purchasing my first pair of ballet heels just to get used to the ankle at that angle and position. Am I better of buying a cheap pair off ebay for my first pair to allow the ankle a chance to get used to that position, or purchasing an expensive pair that are better quality?? Also is it better to get a pair of ankle boots for the support or am I ok just getting a pair that lace up the front of the foot like the cheaper pairs offer?? Any suggestions on what pair to buy and what support I would need. Thanks for the responses.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good fetish shop for shoes or anything in PA. Preferably closer to the middle of the state near Harrisburg or even Maryland somewhere. If not, does anyone know of a site that I can look at to find the nearest fetish site to look for some shoes. I am looking for some ballet heels but I need to try them on first before I order or buy any of them. Thanks for the responses.

Those are very nice. I have a thing for Oxfords, not sure why but I like them alot. Nice purchase, wish I had a pair like them.

No, I have plenty of time, hours upon hours each and everyday where I can walk around in them and go on with my regular day to get used to them. Possibly even sleep in them to get used to the arch change. I just didnt know if anyone had some special advice that they have learned from trial over the years.

thanks for the help, cant wait to hear what others have to say.

I am new to high heels and like them very much. Anyone know what is a good height to start with?? Also what is a good way to get use to wearing them other than practicing?? Anyone have any advice on what I can do. What do others do when starting out??
