Mckailah Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I have spent the better part of three months searching for someone who can either sell or make a type of fetish shoe that I saw a very very long time ago. They were essentially ballet boots with ah heel that was anywhere from 2 to 6 inches longer than they needed to be. As a better visual, try to imagine a normal ballet boot. Now think of the boot with a heel that touches the ground 2 - 6 inches below the toe, with no platform. Basically it is completely impossible for the toe to touch the ground. You would be standing on nothing be the heel. Obviously these are in no way shape of form going to be used for any type of walking or standing activity heh heh. If there is anyone out there that could help, please, please let me know. Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Dr. Shoe Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 They were originally made in Germany in the 1930s (or possibly before) but I'm not sure where you culd get some made though.

Mckailah Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Thank you for that inf. I didn't know that something this extreme would have been tolerated in any market back in the 30's. That is really great info. If you happen to run into any place that even has pictures, could you please let me know? I would be greatful.

pussyinboots Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Thank you for that inf. I didn't know that something this extreme would have been tolerated in any market back in the 30's. That is really great info. If you happen to run into any place that even has pictures, could you please let me know? I would be greatful. Germany in the 1930's was an exceedingly Bohemian place to be and Fetish (especially high heels) was popular and commonplace. Not just in the Cabaret and Entertainment fields, but in Brothels too. Berlin in particular has been the centre of fetish and transvestism for years. If you want to see images, just Google 'Burlesque' photography, 'Retro' photography or 'Retro Fetish', and you'll find lots and lots of sources.

manoleat Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 I have attached a picture of a boot that meets your description. The boot was made around 1900 in Austria according to Linda O'Keeffe's "Shoes" (page 414/415 in german edition). The second picture shows a boot made by Natacha Marro. I guess she can make the boots or shoes with much too long heels as you desire. I hope there is no violation of board rules by attaching a link here: http://www.natachamarro.com/shop/home.php?cat=104 @pussyinboots: As I am trying to find out more about vintage fetish shoes and boots from Germany and their makers I am really interested what you know about that and the sources you know. I would gladly like to exchange some information about that. Have fun, manoleat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manoleat Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Maybe like these:grin: These where made in the 30s by "Achilles" (an australian shoemaker named MacNaught) for John Willie. They where featured in Willie's magazine "Bizarre". Have fun, manoleat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manoleat Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Correct, but who can recommend this seller? I guess having made a bespoke pair by Natacha Marro will be a little cheaper and she is more reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palle Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Germany in the 1930's was an exceedingly Bohemian place to be and Fetish (especially high heels) was popular and commonplace.

Hi, I think I've also read about Berlin being a good place to shop for fetish stuff, but Googling (in my modest German understanding) resulted only in non-shoes fetish stores. Would you know of oversize high heels shoe/boot shops in Berlin (no need to be ultimate designer stuff) where you could try them on before buying? I'll be visiting Berlin (if ash permits) soon, and I'd like to exploit the opportunity Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
