teeza Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Hi, I had these boots made in London for my husband. Your opinions please. Next pair will be more shallow at the "heel" making it rally difficult to wear on the street. Teeza xx
Dr. Shoe Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 They're like the pony boots but more ugly... Nice concept though a shallower heel will put a great deal of strain on the achilles tendon though and can lead to long term problems... great for BDSM play though...

vector Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 Did you mention ordering another pair to make it more difficult to order in public? I'd love to hear those stories!!
Fred Posted March 8, 2009 Posted March 8, 2009 Tezza They look really good. How are they to wear for a long time? Fred
RobyninHeels Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Nice boots, would like to order but with more of a ballet toe so my foot is en-pointe. Can you provide name AND address of maker.
heelsfeel Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Hi Teeza, Love it that you bought your husband those nice boots. You allso walk in heels I think. My late gf allways gave me advice what heels I should buy. In Paris, London, Berlin. She allways attended me on special kinds of shoes. Very high heeled ofcourse. I once tried to buy a pair of boots like your husbands (without platform) at Solansj, a very famous shoemaker. But get no response. He stopped his shoemaking or died, I dont know. But saying this, I very much like the boots and hope you and your husband will love it when he wears them. Good luck Heelsfeel
bootedup Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 They look pretty cool! Would love to give it a go wearing heeless boots!
jimslimbs Posted April 23, 2009 Posted April 23, 2009 Couldn't walk in them, I'd love a pair for playing/bed though!
benno Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 http://www.natachamarro.com/ They will probably cost close to £1000 though! Her 'ready to wear' shoes are between £300 and £500.
sven torvald Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 I saw a photo of a big guy in platform boots with the heel removed at Plateaumike.com submitted by Georg. Is this a viable alternative to custom made boots? sven

teeza Posted June 13, 2009 Author Posted June 13, 2009 Following the original heeless boots shown on the first section of this thread; I have had my husband a second pair of boots custom made to the same format. The differences are thigh (male genital height) with a side zip, 1 1/2 inch enclosed platform (original 2 inch enclosed platform), 8 inch effective heel height (original 6 inch). The new pair give a 6 1/2 inch heel arch. We did a test run in Manchester (UK) with him wearing the boots under long leather trousers. WOW, what a fun afternoon and evening. I can assure you many heads turned. I hope to post pics in the very near future. Teeza (Sue)
manoleat Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I guess we really would appreciate some more pics. And it seems you care well for your husband .... Have fun, manoleat
Shoeboi Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 That was so sweet! You are such an understanding wife and I'm sure your husband will love them. Cause I love them!
hhfan Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 i seen pix of victoria bekham (posh spice) wearing heeless boots. not a huge fan of them but they would be interesting to walk in http://stylefrizz.com/200809/victoria-beckhams-antonio-berardi-heel-less-pvc-boots/ wild for plats
Bubba136 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 i seen pix of victoria bekham (posh spice) wearing heeless boots. not a huge fan of them but they would be interesting to walk in http://stylefrizz.com/200809/victoria-beckhams-antonio-berardi-heel-less-pvc-boots/ Strictly a fashion curiosity. They'll never be "mainstream." Always a "conversation starter." I would save my money for something more eye pleasing:w00t2:. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
BOOTED UP Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Hi TEEZA, I love the boots you got for your husband. I have a pair like his but in patent leather, have a look at them in my albums and tell me what you think. I find it amazing to walk in them and have got very use to them, and I can keep them on and walk in them for about 2 hours before they start to hurt the balls of my feet. Enjoy them. BOOTED UP.
thighhighguy Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 Yes i like the look of those, would love a thigh high pair
bladerunner Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I had a pair made for me in black suede by natacha,with the same style/height as in the first pic. They fit like a glove and are not that difficult to master She is very nice and good fun,i'd recommend her. I just love those suede heels!!!!!
cheyenne Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 Does anyone know of a shoemaker here in the states that could make a boot like that? I'd be interested in them but can't travel to England for a fitting.
trickrider Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 I have been very interested in this concept since I first saw the Beckham photo. I decided to take a pair of inexpensive lace up platform ankle boots (6" heel, 2" platform) and remove the heels to conduct an experiment. The heel removal was easy as there was no metal reinforcing rod, just plastic. I thought that it might be difficult to walk in them since they weren't made from the start as heel-less boots. But I was very pleasantly surprised. It was actually very easy to walk in them and I found myself walking quite a bit and didn't really want to take them off. They also looked really neat too. It's actually harder to just stand in place than to walk since you do have to stay focused on balancing forward a bit. I would love to have a "serious" pair of heel-less boots someday, but I have at least experienced the concept for very little investment. It also came to mind that walking in these might be beneficial to the calf muscles and certainly for one's overall balance. As a gymnast and aspiring horse trick rider, I might be able to consider my heel-less boot walking to be part of my conditioning routine.
