legs777777 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Nice but a bit on the expensive side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manluvheels Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Ah yes. I think Amanda had similar as an avatar a little while ago. I suppose this opens up sports to those of our members who are "Stuck in Heels" Very interesting though - Thank you "A man cannot make a pair of shoes rightly unless he do it in a devout manner" - Thomas Carlyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roniheels Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Ice skating is very difficult as it is. I would love to watch someone skate in those boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manluvheels Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Well only having tried to skate a few times I am sure you are right Ron. A search on Google brings up a few articles echoing your thoughts. http://www.hollywoodlife.com/2011/12/23/high-heeled-ice-skates-dsquared2/ "A man cannot make a pair of shoes rightly unless he do it in a devout manner" - Thomas Carlyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love heels Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Those would be impossible to skate in. I used to iceskate in my younger years. I cannot see those style of skates being used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Shoe Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 The "skates" are too wide. They are meant to be worn off the ice. Graduate footwear designer able to advise and assist on modification and shoe making projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpBy5 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Lose the skates and the remaining boots are terrific! Wonder who made them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhite44 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Maybe they're meant to be the equivelent of 'bedroom' heels - worn stationary, not meant to be walked (in this case, skated) in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffer Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 A more detailed account with pictures of other styles here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2078184/An-accident-waiting-happen-Label-launches-high-heeled-boots-fashion-conscious-ice-skaters.html I rather like the comment: 'Who ever designed these skates has the same fantasies I do!' I have only been ice-skating a few times and have no particular skill. But, thinking about it, would high-heeled skates actually impede skating movement to the same extent that a similarly-heeled boot would alter one's gait when walking? If one can stand still and balance on ordinary skates (not dissimilar to a low platform shoe in elevation and stability, it seems), then skating away involves mostly sideways thrust with the legs rather than any walking motion (if I have expressed it correctly). I'm not sure that adding a high heel to the skate would make the skating motion (as distinct from walking) much different or, in itself, produce instability or discomfort. After all, it is easy enough to fall over on ice in ordinary skates - the heel might not make it any worse! Has anyone ever actually tried to skate (ice or roller) in heels?

jwhite44 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The black thigh high boots look just as good! There's not ONE picture of a model in them? Shameful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manluvheels Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 The "skates" are too wide. They are meant to be worn off the ice. As Doc Shoe says, these are not made for skating. See this blog that has different views and also models wearing them on the catwalk http://www.fashionblogblogger.com/style-blog/dsquared2-high-heel-skates I also seem to recall that on the Daily Mail site someone said that it was a regurgitation of a year old story - just good PR for Dsquared2 probably "A man cannot make a pair of shoes rightly unless he do it in a devout manner" - Thomas Carlyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
