I think i'd to try them out just once to see how they feel and like to walk in but i've never really wanted to own any.

1. Like any super high heels, get a size larger than your normal size.

2. Before trying them on, work-out your calves by forcing your feet into EXTREME point and then extreme "unpoint". Do this over & over for several days to stretch your Aquiles tendon. This is to prevent the calves from cramping while the shoes/boots are on. Once you get a cramp whilst wearing them, it's not easy to get them off quickly! Especially if you chose the lace-up kind.

3. There are many brands of ballet boots/shoes. There are many Places online like http://www.odgirl.com/item--Lace-up-ankle-boot--Ballet-1020-PL.html sell Devious brand which I bought for my wife & which fit perfectly right out of the box! Cost $100US. I believe the UK cost is 100UKP. 100EUR elsewhere in Europe.

4. Have fun!

My wife had a hard time standing with her 6" patents (size 5 1/2-US) but had no problemo WALKING in her 7" Ballet ankle boots! Go figure!
