Leo Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Am I alone in thinking that ballet heels - both shoes and boots - look absolutely awful? Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 No, you're not alone. I've never understood the appeal of those things either. 1 I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helexus Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 They are interesting to me. I am not a fan of boots, other than that, I think they are more for sexual use. I admire those that can walk in them. It is tough. I own a pair and can get 4 steps and down I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roniheels Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 They are not appealing to me. But, judging by the many posts and members who enjoy them, there are many fans out there of ballet heels. I have never worn them, but based on the fact that I move slowly in 6" high heels, I probably won't ever wear them. But those who do wear them, enjoy them.

Foxyheels Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I am not a fan they are not visually appealing to me but I can understand those who may like the challenge of walking in them. My respect goes to those who can. High heels are the shoes I choose to put on, respect my choice as I repect yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 When I first discovered them I thought WOW I think it was just the extreme heel but now that novelty has faded. For those wearers that are into these and competent I do give a lot of respect to, may I mention Richy's young modelling friend that puts on a good style and is not afraid to be on the street and take the challenges a big well done. Maybe I may try some one day if I could borrow but I'm sure many of us are too protective to loan out willynilly. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkonit Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 They have never appealed to me either. 4" - 6" for me plus the magic ingredient of style. For me the magic ingedient isn't present with ballet heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhboots Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 At one point, I was really interested in the challenge of wearing heels of 6" or more (with no platform). As a result, I was also interested in ballet boots and even owned a pair at one time. I managed to walk short distances (maybe 50 feet) at a time, but one of the heels started to crack/bend in the middle, so I got rid of them and never replaced them. These days, I've pretty much settled on 3½"-5" heels and go more for comfort and practicality than the extremes I once was going for. I guess I still like to see a woman that can walk in ballet heels, there is some attraction there, but at the same time I can totally understand why they don't appeal to most heel lovers.

loswabs Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I love ballet shoes and of course stilettoes, but not the two combined. Still, each to their own and good luck to anyone who tries to walk in them ;o) It's my opinion, no more, no less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoneleg Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 They really don't appeal to me just as really high platforms are not of any appeal. But, being of a very curious nature, I might try one with my crutches. I did very well in a 3" plat with a 8" heel and wear a 4" stiletto every day for work. I would love to hear from anyone that wears the ballets to get his or her feelings either here or private message. E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaztheelz Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I think ballets are the sexiest things on Earth. There is literally nothing more appealing than a woman who can walk gracefully in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmonto Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I think this is a love it or hate it thing. That kind of shoes is often seen as fetish and there is a reason for it, some people love it, some don´t see the appeal and it´s just a matter of personal taste. Some people find it curious, but i think it all comes down to a gut reaction, you just get it or you don´t, like pretty much every matter of taste.
