Nice to see a few people from Ottawa!

Hi all, I'm a middle aged male that likes to wear ballet boots on occasion. I'm sure the percentage of males wearing them outweigh the percentage of females. Quite unfortunate Anyway, I have some locking ballet ankle boots and have tried many thing to be able to walk in them. At first I could hardly even stand in them. Then I took a tip from another thread on here and took 1/2" off the heels. Now I can stand no problem and even take a few steps. But it doesn't take long that I'm in pain. I have the toe pads, I use thick socks and also padding. But it doesn't seem to help. Maybe with all that extra, the boots are too small? Or, it's my weight. I weigh 255 pounds! I'm probably the heaviest person here that wears them! LOL Anyway, any advice?

I've got some of the ankle boot ones, had them for years, love them to bits

How are they to walk in?

I've always loved that style! I'm wearing oxfords in my avatar

A friend sent me this link... I think it's kinda neat

Hmmm... couldn't upload the link... of well, it came from here: http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u138/therussianmafia/legs-1.jpg

Not only did I not get shoes... I didn't get anything... period! Sux to be single *sigh* Good presents for most of you though

Sorry it took me so long to respond... What with being laid off and all that... I seemed to have lost my drive for alot of things. All I have are pics that cut just above the boots. There are no heel shots I thought that with all the pics that were taken, I'd at least get a couple of decent ones! Alas... it was not to be. I wanted to take pics of myself that night once I got home. I get home, still in heels of course... climbed 4 flights of stairs! Once I'm in my apt. I then realize that I left my camera in my truck! My biggest fear to start with was being seen by another tenant, so I didn't go back down to get the camera.

Great!!!! How are your feet and legs feeling today?

My feet are fine! My calves are a little grumpy though LOL

Congratulations on your fun night. You were probably having so much fun, adn you were feeling so comfortble in your high heels, after a while you probably didn't even realize you were still wearing them.

No, I knew they were there... If I forget, someone would comment on them anyway LOL

I had a blast last night! I didn't expect to be the center of attention LOL I wore my 5.5" heels for 6 hours straight! It was amazing!

I luv Heels; Are your shoes too small? I had that same problem in the beginning and found out my shoes where a 1/2 size too small. When I went up to the next size (from a 10 to 11) I found I was able to wear a 5 & 1/2 inch heel for long periods with out all of the pain. My ankles and calfs hurt at the end of a long period but not my feet and I feel that hurt was from the angle of the foot.

No, these are fine... Might even be a little big, but with a normal pair of socks they are good I just don't get much practice in them.

I've managed today to wear them for 3 and a half hours! Still hard to walk/stand for 10 minutes at a time mind you.

cant even b bothered 2 visit the site. Crocs are landfill....

Ditto

I don't mind that the people I will meet there know... I would like to have some 4" or 4.5" heels instead... What I'm more worried about is not being able to tough the evening out. I don't have any money at the moment for other shoes. The other shoes I have are all 5.5" and a pair of ballet boots. Those knee high boots are a bit small for me... but everyone at that party already know I have those. I'm not sure if I should show more of my collection lol.

Hi there, I've just been invited to a Halloween party (a private house party) at my friends place. She and her bf knows about my heels wearing. I even lent her some knee high platform boots 2 years ago for Halloween. I said to her that there was no way I'd wear them in front of everyone! To that she replied "If you did, you'd get nothing but respect for being able to walk in those!" LOL So now I'm torn, I'm into some crossdressing but I don't have full gear. Also some bondage as well. If I do it, I'll put on my 5.5" black patent ankle boots instead since the platform boots are a bit tight. Because of that, I don't know how long I could wear them. On that note, I've been told to practice. I'm out of work now and my friend (another friend) said "then you need to practice". She also mentioned she'd beat me if I didn't do it LOL So, how long per day should I wear my boots? I don't walk around a whole lot. Doing chores is hard on the back with them on as well. I have to hunch over too much doing dishes for example. And, what else should I wear? I don't want to shock people too much (I already don't have a lot of friends LOL ). I was thinking the boots, hose, I might have a skirt that fits (I gained weight) but I don't have much for above the waist. I was also thinking of using my studded collar and my locking wrist cuffs. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I like the first ones... The word granny never came to mind!

The duct tape idea would make sense if a few layers were put on the inside of the pants to stiffen that area up a little.

I've been paying attention to how women walk in heels compared to men in heels. The thing I have noticed are the ankles.

Posted here are youtube videos. First one of a guy in ballet boots, second one of a girl in ballet boots. The reason I'm using ballet boots as an example is because it exaggerates the movement I'm talking about. Notice the ankles flexing outward on the guy, and flex inward on the girl.

(I'm not sure that this is a guy, but this explains what I mean though)

Now some men have a problem walking "gracefully" in heels and I think this is the reason why.

Is it safe to wash these?

Funny that, i can echo that comment too !

do you think there is a reason why lol.

Well, I met someone last week... and she was great! Even kidding around about fetishes... But as usual, most people that think they are open minded are in fact not open minded. I told her about my fetish... she wanted to sleep on it... and the next day she told me it wasn't going to work.

I should learn to keep my big mouth shut!!

I would answer if I had a partner

love

I'd explain how I cut mine down, but I ended up damaging the material on the sides of the heels

Same thing happened to me

Hehehe... wishful thinking I guess huh?

Do you think these are too obvious? http://www.payless.com/Images/300x300/061819_1_300x300.jpg

Anybody else?
