Thanks for all the great links. That should keep me way broke for a few years.

Shoecraft is the place I contacted and got that email. And no, she said in a second email, they don't have any style of ballet heel anymore, but still taking orders for them claiming they have many styles of them in all 3 LSB ballet products. My guess is they pull the "but we have pleaser for 800+ to anyone who tries to order them. I'm tempted to buy a pair of ballets so I can have the sole and heels duplicated just so I can produce a line of my own with them. The LSB Heels really were the best ones ever produced for ballet boots. (would have to be NOT my purple leather ones cause they are awesome!)

oooo and thank you! Never been to that site before. I see lot's of boots I'm going to be buying

Yup thats what I said when I got the email. And yes, that's a direct quoted price and email. Once the shock wore off since I knew what the wholesale price was, I just shook my head and laughed at the audacity.

I was actually looking at the ballet heels Punitive shoes makes as a replacement for the LSB Ballets. They're much sturdier and do come in a few colors. But I'm taking a chance and having a few pairs of the pleaser style ballet heel done in custom leather boots, so I guess I will post more info when I get those and test them out.

Actually definitely a lure and then offer another solution, as they also list the pleaser ones as a different item. They know what game they're playing. What shocked me was that their requested "deposit" for these boots is actually more than many stores retail the boots for. There's doing business and then there's just greed and bad business. The suggested retail for these is about 280-320 so what they charge is ludicrous. Hope nobody really took that sucker deal they offer since just for giggles I googled what the majority is asking and they're all at a more realistic amount as suggested by the maker of these boots.

here's a quote: Thank you for your message. We have sold out of Y4 ballet lace up thigh boots unfortunately the Little Shoe Box in London who manufactured them ceased trading approx 5 years ago and we have sold our

stock of these boots.

We are able to supply Pleaser Thigh High lace up ballet boots in black leather at $890 or Black Patent PVC at $750 plus $15 express post anywhere in Australia at cost world wide.

Delivery time approx 2 weeks, we require a min deposit of $200 with the blance due once we receive them.

I emailed the store. They tried a bait and switch tactic on me. They're sold out of all LSB Ballet shoes, I was told in an email, but they still show them on thier site. Was told but we have these...bla bla bla.... and tried to tell sell me the Pleaser ballet boots I sell for over 7x wholesale price. Not good.

yea i know. lucky i have my 3 pairs so far.

Found these online being sold currently but I know they're not little shoe box since they've gone out of business. I would love to not only buy them but carry them in my stores.

Are we talking slightly pointed or those 1 foot long points? I'm sorry but there is no reason for toes points that long except if you're gonna be evil to someone or be in the wizard of oz.

I wanted to try and make some cool custom boots with straps and such. I've got all the beads and stuff, but does anyone know where I can buy the straps and buckles?
