Hi chicks 66 I think I owe you a reply to your questions from sooolong ago. Try to find some plastic packaging padding material in thin sheets that you could add to the inside sole of your boots and a layer on the tops of your toes to hold your toes straight and tight in the toe box. You could also layer some this material to make toe pads for the tips of your toes. This needs to be at least 1/4 to 3/8" thick for the pad. place the pad in the bottom of the toe box with the other padding on the sole and with a layer on the top of your toes then try slipping your feet into the ballets also hold on tho the top pad as it could slide up as you put your feet in the toe box. Everything should be very tight around your toes and front of your foot not allowing your foot to slide down putting all your weight on your toes. If this happens add more padding to the sole area till all is very tight. Dr Who 3

Hi Acin 75 From your info. I see you are in Germany. I would think you could go to an auto parts/ supply store and get some fiberglass cloth and resin. If you don't have a store like that over there then try an auto repair/boat repair shop. I have also found a fiberglass repair kits in a discount store like Walmart perhaps there is a store like this over there as well. Another place I have found these repair kits or materials in an auto paint / body repair store. I used 4oz. fiberglass cloth but a heaver ( 6oz) cloth would work or some fiberglass chopped strand matt 1-1/2 oz up to 2/oz. The matt is more difficult to work with but will work. I hope this helps.

Hi Tezza. Did you send me a message about ballet boots? Dr Who 3

Your welcome. I found this girls' adventures quite intresting especially the birth of her baby with the Dr.s wanting to cut her boots off and she refused to let them. I'm sure your wife will enjoy wearing ballet boots after she learns to walk in them. I think this footwear really makes the ladies legs look great when they walk in them. I especially like the youtube vid. of the ,I believe Russisn, girl cleaning her fruniture. She semes to have no problem wearing her bboots and makes it look efforteless almost as if she was wearing reg. high heels. I don't have the opertunity these days to wear mine much and I feer I'll loose what I had gained in the past, perhaps this fall I'll be able to get back on track and even make a nother video. Best to you and your wife. Dr Who 3

Hi Acin 75 I have been trying to recall the web site her blog was on but I haven't been able to find it. This was a very intresting story about ballet boots and her experiences wearing them but it got rather strange in the end. She even had pics of how her feet were in the pointe position as a result of being in her boots so long. I don't think she could straighten out her feet. I'll try to keep jogging my memory and if I remember I'll let you know. This much I do remember is she called her self ballet boot slut of all things. Dr Who 3

Hi It has been a while. I saw your ballets and I don't know what brand they are. Mine are Devious ankle boots with faux locks. They are made of leather I don't think the UP kind are as durable. The mod I made to my boots are fashioned from fiberglass cloth and resin. I bought some surf board cloth 1/4 oz. and built up the sole of my boots with this it has held up very well. I was wearing them for a 1/2 hour last night and they are geting very comfortable. By stiffiening up the sole and toe box bottom with layers of fiberglass the toes don't fold in or crush and the toe box is as strong as a ballet dancer's point shoes. I can see why your shoes are difficult to wear due to the toe box giving way. If you can stiffen the sole and toebox bottom perhaps you can save yor shoes and make them walkable. If you ned any more help just ask and I'll to do my best to help with and answer. By for now. Dr Who 3

I like my boots laced tight for the ankle support. The toe box area isn't as tight as because my bboots are 1 size too large I think. I use Leo's gel pads with some packaging padding over the tops of my toes for extra padding. The toes are held snugg but not tight enough to cause them to go numb. I can wiggle my toes. I have tried making the toe box very tight but found it isn't needed, snugg is fine. Dr Who 3

Hi Dr. A new update!! I have been successfull in posting some pics of me in my ballet boots on the web site 1 is my avitar and the other is in the modification thread. I also was able to make a video and post it on youtube. It is is kind of difficult to see for some reason but if you look for videod in bsss5hp it should show up. Please give thes pics. and vid. a look and send me any comment you have. I am happy that I can now show the web site the mods. I made to my boots out of fiberglass and I hope this spurs others to explore possiblities in modifying their boots as well. I am having a bit of troubble keeping my legs nice and straight but for an old man I think I'm doing quite well. Dr Who 3

Hi chicks66 If you have any questions about ballet boots please send me a request. Dr Who 3

Hi Chick 66 I saw on your youtube page that you are intrested in ballet boots. I have been wearing baboots for a year and 1/2 now 3 to 4 times a week and have discovered some training that might help you with your bboot experience. Please let me know if you have any questions. I think I can be of help. Dr Who 3

Hi Pata. Thanks for the reply. I guess I will have to agree with you that bboots won't go mainstrean fashion but the pics. of you in your custom bboots and the business attire was stunning. I'm a 63 year man and have been practicing in my 1025s for a year and 1/2 now. I think I ready to make a public video if I can find some one to video me. I did go public a while back wen I went to a local store to buy som coffee over lunch it was a rush. Thanks again and keep up the encouraging work. Best to you. Dr who 3

Hi Pata. Thanks for the reply. I think I will have to agree with you about bboots becoming a mainstream fashion. But I think bboots really go well with the business outfit you modled. I'm a man of 63 years and have been practicing in my 1025s for a year and 1/2 now and I think I'm about ready to go public and make a video if I can find some one to film me and post it on the web. I won't be as gracefull as you or michelheel2 but I think I could do well after a brief worm up. The legg warmers over your bboots are a real hit and fashion statement. Also the custom bboots are intresting as well, especially with the business outfit you wore . I was living in your country back in the 1960s in Munchen and Augsberg and realiy enjoyed the beauty of the land particularlly the mountains. Thanks again for your clips and the reply. Dr Who 3

Hi Pata. I saw your latest video on youtube. I must say you are amazing and I think you will agree that wearing ballet boots could become a normal fashion given the right person wearing them. You certainly make walking in them look effortless. Thanks for showing us all how it's done. Dr Who 3

Hi Richy I am wondering wen you will do some more videos of the Girl in ballet boots. The video you did was realy good. I hope She is into wearing ballet boots because Seh realy looks great in them. Dr Who 3

Hi Dancer Girl I read your post about being able to wear bboots all the time. How long can you go in your ballet boots? I have been able to manage 3 to 4 hrs in my 1025 ankle boots with the toe padding I use. What kind of padding do you use? Dr Who 3
