Zinkhink Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 I don't now if this clip have been discussed before, but it shows a woman walking in ballet shoes. (She must be a ballet dancer) It also shows several others trying, including a man. rtsp://video.sat1.de/ondemand/blitz/absatz2512.rm
chris100575 Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 Wow! I've never seen anyone walk that easily in ballets before. Shame I can't understand German though...

Rockpup Posted January 5, 2004 Posted January 5, 2004 I'd love to catch the interview with the guy from LSB without the translator. The best I've done while wearing ballet boots outdoors would be these two vids: http://homer.bus.miami.edu/~jcornell/bb/11-13-02-1.avi and http://homer.bus.miami.edu/~jcornell/bb/11-13-02-1.avi Warning: wind noise on both of those Those are not the same type of ballet boots worn by the lady though, the best I can show for the more severe style of boots would be this clip --Warning-- bondage content, but no nudity (straight jacket, catsuit) http://balletboots.net/walking1.avi Oh well, thats all I have right now, I'll try to get more done with my LSB boots outside soon.

(Quite impressive walking skills though!) Emma
Rockpup Posted January 7, 2004 Posted January 7, 2004 Oopps, the second one is http://homer.bus.miami.edu/~jcornell/bb/11-13-02-2.avi Thank you for the compliment Jim (formerly known as "JimC")
chris100575 Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 I'd like to second Emma's congratulation. I'm impressed! I'm currently saving for my first pair of ballet heels, so I've got learning to walk in them to look forward to. Chris
Francis Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 I'm impressed ! Any better and I'd reckon you could nearly run in them! Brilliant. If I ever get to that proficiency I think I'd be proud! Keep going! Show us how it's done!
cinthy Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 I couldn't ever handle ballet heels that way i think, they are soooo hard
Rockpup Posted January 8, 2004 Posted January 8, 2004 *blush* Thanks everyone The black patent boots in a couple of the clips are actually a little less severe then most other ballet boots I've tried. They do not put the foot totally vertical so it's easier to walk. I've even worn them to a bar, and no-one noticed.. hehe ... ok, long pants hid most of them, but no-one even noticed that I was 6" taller, nor that I was walking 'funny'.. Nor did I have too many problems driving a stick shift jeep. (back roads) I've been practicing with my TLSB boots also.. I may try a couple vid's tonight to show the diference. Maybe a comparison of all 3. Once again, thanks for the compliments! (formerly known as "JimC")
Rockpup Posted January 13, 2004 Posted January 13, 2004 Yes, but not quite as smoothly, and for only about 20 minutes at a time. As far as practice time, I do not get as much as I'd like since my heels are not 100% apreaciated at home.. not to mention all the issues of being in a new house, too much crap to do and ballet boots are only practical for a few things. I did use them while re-painting my old place, they allowed me to trim the edge of the wall against the celing without needing a ladder have a good one Jim (formerly known as "JimC")
Rockpup Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Ok, here is a quick vid showing me in my Little Shoe Box boots. Not the best, but its just a quick test. This is after walking outside to get batteries, followed by two trips up the stairs. I may try again later tonight, see if I can get a bit of a smoother walk. If so then I will edit this post http://balletboots.net/dscf0032.avi Jim (formerly known as "JimC")
Bubba136 Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 It appears that you are draging your right leg. Kind of like you are in pain and forcing yourself to step forward. Good work, though. You make walking in them appear easy. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
youngwolf Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 I'm trying to download the file on the first post...can someone help me or give me a location to get it from please. I kinda want to see this since it sounds very interesting. We are what we are, let nothing stand in our way in what we do
Bubba136 Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 I am using Real One Player to view the clip. It works well for me. Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
youngwolf Posted April 5, 2004 Posted April 5, 2004 Ok thats two of us with the same problem, can someone upload it to one of their websites or get it sent over via email since I wasn't able to download the clip either, never mind viewing it. Priddy Priddy please We are what we are, let nothing stand in our way in what we do
youngwolf Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 If someone has the file on their harddrive can they PM me and I'll send them my email address so I can get the file that way..I've been trying to download this file since my last post on this topic and I've not had any joy. We are what we are, let nothing stand in our way in what we do
Zinkhink Posted April 22, 2004 Author Posted April 22, 2004 I think Sat1 has removed the file. It was in a streaming format, so I don't think anyone has it. Sorry i couldn't help.
Rockpup Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 It is also stored in the files section of this yahoo group: http://fr.groups.yahoo.com/group/BalletbootsFrance/ You will have to join it in order to download it. Seeya Jim (formerly known as "JimC")

Posted May 14, 2004 Posted May 14, 2004 It is also stored in the files section of this yahoo group: http://fr.groups.yahoo.com/group/BalletbootsFrance/ You will have to join it in order to download it. Seeya Jim I video-taped the original SAT.1-feature and made an mpeg-1 out of it. I only need to trim it a bit but don't have any comfortable video-cut software. The bad news: It's about 90MB in size the way it is now and hence I don't know where to put it for public download. I didn't check yet what happens / what it downsizes to when the video is divx-/mpeg4-ed... CU! -Mike
Rockpup Posted May 14, 2004 Posted May 14, 2004 I used to have a gig of space availiable to me at a large univerisity in Miami.. Although they did notice a HUGE increase in web usage when I decided to store some things there a while back. The friend who set me up said something about not much other campus traffic could get through.. oops. Unfortunatly I cannot afford to host that large of a file on my site. I'd love to see it though, so I will keep an eye open for a place to stash it. I have a fast connection at home, so maybe I can set up a home web server. *shrug* Jim (formerly known as "JimC")
Mickey S. Posted May 14, 2004 Posted May 14, 2004 ... I have a fast connection at home, so maybe I can set up a home web server. *shrug* Jim My online speed is 1.5Mbit/sec for download but much less for upload. What do you call 'fast'? CU! -Mike
Rockpup Posted May 14, 2004 Posted May 14, 2004 Well, I'm getting 447 kilobits down at work, we used to see over 3megabits at the apartment, but have yet to test it with the new house. (formerly known as "JimC")
balletboot2000 Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Jim, any new clips for us to see? I love the feel of that ultimate lift!
Rockpup Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 Hrm.. not much from me recently.. been a bit busy with work and an illness in the family. Might see if I can set something up in the not too distant future... I have been poking around to find better ways for lightning inside the house, which is one of the roadblocks to good vid footage I've had. Seeya Jim (formerly known as "JimC")
JeffM Posted December 10, 2004 Posted December 10, 2004 better ways for lightning inside the house Hey Jim, try lighting, it isnt as intense but it lasts a lot longer. Sorry just couldnt let you off on this one. Jeff
balletboot2000 Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Hi Jim, look forward to it, when you get a chance I love the feel of that ultimate lift!
loswabs Posted December 20, 2004 Posted December 20, 2004 Hi I just joined and thought I tell you about a girl I saw yesterday. I was waiting for a train and this cute young lady was sat near me. She wore a white furry type coat, blue jeans and very flat pink ballet shoes. Now I know this is a high heels site and I love them but I also love seeing dead flat ballet shoes, especially when they're worn in the street. Anyway, when the train came she got up and walked to it. Not only were her jeans totally skintight (I don't know how she could sit down in them!) she had a great figure and the ballet shoes were awesome as she walked. I nearly asked if I could have a shoe job but thought better of it. Rob It's my opinion, no more, no less
jo Posted January 7, 2005 Posted January 7, 2005 Heh. I like a "well turned ankle" even if seen in stylish flats, and some of the flats have a massive amount of "toe cleavage" visible too. However you might be surprised at the "ballet" shoes that this thread is about. The foot is flat, but nearly vertical instead of horizontal. Example: images. Example: videos.
