Recently got a pair of white Pleaser Flamingo 1020 boots. Bought and ordered on Tuesday, delivered on Thursday morning. 8 inch heel platform boots ain't that much of a challenge.

I also got creative and swapped the laces on my 2 pairs of pleaser boots so they look more unique.

Hi all,

no purchase for me today but a good thing for all of us  

They remind me of Beatle boots.

Not really......

any padding is better than none, its just ballet toe pads make ballets walkable,

IMHO

Thanks! I'm getting better, a month after acquiring them.

Standing and walking in ballet heels takes a little practice, but you'll get there.

Get some toe pads.

Would rolled up ankle socks do just as good?

Is it just the angle of the photo, or are the heels on those boots too tall to be positioned vertically when the toes are touching the ground?

The latter. I would slice half an inch off the tip of the heel but I'm too scared to do so because I'm not confident to try it.

I like these a lot! Btw are the locks real?

Nah, they're only decorative. I can unlock them any time but what's the point when I have them strapped on with a tear off velcro?

Ballet boots aren't that practical but at least I can break them in while at home.

Typically on these ballet boots the heels are about 10mm too long. I had a pair of similar ones once(same model but matt leather) and shortened the heel slightly. I could then walk in them after a fashion. They are long since gone.

You need to extract the heel tip, peel back the covering on the heel, cut off 10mm with a hacksaw or grinder, drill deeper for the pin, put back the heel covering and hammer in the tip. It's not too hard if you have reasonable tools.

From that photo it turns out i had the boots on the wrong feet.

I got a pair of Ballet Boots this morning! Comfortable to wear but walking in them will take a few months to practice.

Sitting down, they're very comfy to wear. Standing up though is a very different story.

Me and my S.o from a few years ago.

I've bought a pair of ballet boots and this topic thread is here for when I get them.

Decided to get my 8 inch platform boots on out of boredom. Not entirely the appropriate pair but hey ho.

Challenge is getting your skinny jeans on over the top :-)

Thank smeg they stretch. Otherwise, it would be way harder.

They're OTK boots? you wouldn't have guessed from the photo, I thought they were ankle boots.

But no difference, they're still awsome.

Thigh high, just over the knee. Also around 6 inches high. No real challenge.

Hi AlexC94 , i love your boots! The heels look very high, or at least a very steep angle of your feet. Very cool you manage 10 hours in them

Pleaser domina 3000s. I got a pair of skinny jeans over them.

A photo of me staying in because of this bloody virus. Managed to have the choker and boots on for near 10 hours.

This Coronavirus can get effed off to the sun. Not going out to get things or do stuff is a extroverts nightmare. But on the other hand, I can wear my stiletto heel thigh boots with no care in the world.

Nice find and a bargain price too, will make a good summer pair of boots, ankle high i take it, they look really smart on, what size are they as they look quite dainty to be honest mate 

They're a size UK7. The boots don't have spongy soles but they are still cosy.

They are cute boots !

Mine, or a different pair?

Boots I got from a discount shop for £10. Very snug and comfy.

at the diner:  waiting.  i could not believe she made me wait!  

(fun memory anyway!)

What brand are those boots?

Went out again. Follow the link.

So I went out again, and this time I went further than last time and found a bench to sit on at the end.

I also got a video as well as the picture included so the link is here on my Instagram:

Also, I kinda felt great walking both ways and hearing my footsteps on the pathway and feeling my stiletto heels make contact with the ground and hearing them around the area.
