High Surprise,

Really Nice Pictures.

I am mainly into boots, But.....

Round toes, high heels, ankle and arch straps and especially T-Straps make for a very sexy look.

How about some pics of you wearing them?

And the ones you bought are proably my favorite.... Very Nice Indeed

Have you seen these?

I have a pair in size 11. I think the last pair they had in stock.

I love them. 4" heel, very comfortable. I wear them everywhere.

Only problem I had was last week at the airport. They must have just waxed the floor. I almost took a spill 3 or 4 times.

Laurie,

I think your new avatar pic is perfect for you.

Excellent choice.

Gary0618

Laurie,

Aside from the heel heights, I think your current avatar is the best looking shoe in the bunch.

I Vote Keep It!

Very Sharp Good Looking Boots!

Don't let them get away!

If they were My Size, you would not have a chance!

SICR,

A Great Pair Of Heels!

Are they available on-line? Where did you get them?

I would love to find a pair too.

You wear them well.

Gary0618

Bill,

These are you wife's shoes? Great! Can you get us some better pics.

I Love them!

Thanks,

JimC,

You Are The Ballet Heel Man!

I enjoyed your post. Thank you for all the information.

Driving in Ballet Boots? My God......That sounds impossible and dangerous! How did you do that?

And wearing them to a club? Wow! You must have towered over EveryBody!

Keep us posted on your adventures Please.

Lovely way to start your morning!

I read an interview with Diane Sawyer in a fashion mag. She stated she either wears flats, or 4" heels. Nothing in between. And she stated that she prefers the heels!

Great Lady!

Gary0618

LoveHeel,

Thanks for the pics. I am mostly a Boot Guy, But I do like t-straps and chunky heels. The one you posted is a Great Shoe.

BUT ! ! The largest size available is 10

I find plenty of boots that I like in size 11 or 12, But it seems I never find a nice t-strap in these sizes.

But as we know, Nine West does a quite a few size 12's now.

Gary0618

Terry,

Sounds Like You had a Great Day! Congratulations.

And a very sharp pair of heels too.

EXCELENT BOOTS!

Great Boots. I too am a boot nut wth over 30 pairs (at last count).

They are really sharp! I wish you many years of enjoyment with them.

Congratulations on a great find!

Oh, and more pics if you can.

Gary0618

WoW!

Sounds like a fun time was had by all. It was great that you had such a good turnout. Sorry to hear about the fire and the breakup though.

I hope everyone here gets to read the above posts. Would be nice if we can get a meeting going on the east coast here in the USA.

I look forward to seeing lots of pics of your fun day!

Hi Mickey,

You might want to do some research first. Not on the price, more so on the size. If you can try on first, this is one time where fit is Most Important.

I have read that for ballet heels, you sould go one full size smaller. I tried on a pair at the Dressing For Pleasure Botique in Georgetown, D.C. many years ago. They fit great and I was actually able to walk a bit in them. But, Stupid me did not buy them.

About 2 years ago, I bought a pair on eBay in my usuall size. I find it more difficult to walk as well in them. I really think it it because they are too large.

With Ballet Heels, you need a lot of support in you arch and on the sides of your feet. Too large a shoe, and your foot slides all the way down and crushes your toes!

Good Luck. They can be A LOT OF FUN!.

Anyone else here have experience with Ballet Heels?

I am all for a NYC Meeting.

Any old timers out there who could help us organize? (Firefox?)

We just need to get started. Where will we meet? What will we do for a few hours? Does anybody know the best shopping areas?

And a friendly place for lunch and maybe drinks at the end of the day?

Gary0618

Well, it would not bother me if the price was slightly higher

Most fashion is that way now. Big and Tall sizes for men as well as Plus sizes for women have a slightly higher price.

If this is what it would take to get some decent selections, I am all for it.

Gary0618

I have been buying from the Fredericks of Hollywood catalog for over 25 years. I even have some of their catalogs from the 70's and 80'.

I still buy occasionaly from their website.

Happy Shopping

Jeff,

I like them. Conservative look and a little different too.

Thanks for sharing.

South East PA.

Seems that would have to be Philadelpha.

South Street is a good place for StreetHeeling. Walnut and Chestnut streets are main shopping areas too, as well as the Gallery Mall on Market Street.

I would be interested in meeting in the fall.

Nice Boots.

But I can say that as I have the same pair! I really like them.

Ummmmmmm.

I vote Go For It

Wear the Block Heels.

I've always like the looks of ankle straps.

And no one does it better than Prada.
