Saturn Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Take a look at these patent black ballet boots, starting at about 15 seconds into the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeUBpABglK0 Where can you get those? I'm not the biggest fan of ballet heels, but honestly I think I might spring for a pair of THOSE. Any ideas?
Richy Posted June 19, 2009 Posted June 19, 2009 Pata is a member on this board, but she has said before that those were especially made for her by a friend who is not in the normal retail business.
Saturn Posted June 22, 2009 Author Posted June 22, 2009 Thanks. ::sigh:: Oh well... that's too bad. I imagine a style like that would sell, too. I've seen that particular style with the tiny "toe" area in a few fetish comics and such.
pata Posted June 22, 2009 Posted June 22, 2009 Actually, I am afraid they absolutely would not. For that ultra thin steel heel + toebox in a quality shoe (which is necessary to make it resistable inspite of that elegantly formed but ultra thin and high heel- we had some similar tests before where the heel would extremely bend and break when walked otherwise) it would not be possible to offer them at a low price. and a balletshoe is still something the most would not ever wear outdoor or for long, - there would be only few which would pay that for just a posing-shoe. but one still cannot offer a shoe where the heel would not survive when walked some steps e. g. by a ballet-boot-beginner. there have been several quality-balletheel manufacturers but it seems only the really cheap ones are interesting for the market.
miciod Posted August 22, 2009 Posted August 22, 2009 hi Saturn. Surfing her site ( wow!!!!) i read that is a pair of "normal" ankle ballet boot that she modified to look that way. Wanderful result!!.
onyourtoes Posted August 23, 2009 Posted August 23, 2009 hi Saturn. Surfing her site ( wow!!!!) i read that is a pair of "normal" ankle ballet boot that she modified to look that way. Wanderful result!!. That is what I see in some of the closeups -- a ballet boot with a fake pointed toe built on to the front. I believe on the inside, they're ordinary ballet boots -- if any ballet boot can be considered ordinary.
Amanda Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Pata, I really like the look of those. I do find balletboots are generally so ugly to look at especially those snub toes. I think if I were ever to have a go at wearing such shoes then they would have to be something along those lines. Where are they from?.
Richy Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 It seems that somebody is now making these commercially. Found on ebay.de from a firm exotic-wear http://stores.shop.ebay.de/Exotic-Wear
Saturn Posted August 30, 2009 Author Posted August 30, 2009 Wow, fantastic! Not nearly as elegant as Patas, but cool to see they're actually out there. As with many ballet heels, still out of my price range... and with these, it's REALLY blowing my wallet out of the water. Over $400 USD for these. I couldn't justify the purchase because I could buy a dozen other styles for that price, decent quality at that.
pata Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 They write there that they are their own hand made, so, though I think them less elegant than mine, I wrote them asking if those boots would be possible in blue leather. Unfortunatly no answer untill now... But I confess, I do not think either, that THAT price would be ok (for me) for those shoes.
Richy Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 Pata, those are amazing!!! May I PM you for more info on those and perhaps some help in making/buying a pair for my girlfriend? Many thanks! Pata has not been active on here for the last seven months. This thread is nearly three years old.
Dr. Shoe Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I too think they are much better looking than the more "conventional" ballet boots... 1 Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects.
