Hotlatexboot Posted February 25, 2018 Posted February 25, 2018 I just picked these up for the wife on poshmark. Haven't told her yet and not sure how to breach the subject. She knows I have a huge heel fetish but we've never done anything this extreme. Thoughts to make her more comfortable with it?

Unusual style of Ballet Heels, what size are they? What height of heel is your wife currently used to wearing?
Hotlatexboot Posted February 27, 2018 Author Posted February 27, 2018 They are size 8. The previous owner said she had them custom made but they came too late for a photo shoot so she hasn't worn them. My wife currently can wear around 5.5 without a platform, though I wouldn't want her to walk in these.

My wife too has worn shoes with 5.5" heels without platforms but only around the house, but she could walk in them ok. Like you, I also pushed the limits by buying her some Stiletto Boots with 6.25" Heels. She tried them on but could barley stand up in them as her feet were incredibly arched & beyond vertical. I've never bought her any Ballet Heels like your attached photo though, but again I would expect they would be for 'posing in' only :-)
nzfreestyler Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 I wear heels all the time and have tried ballet heels for fun. I have even worn them out on a few evenings over the years! If your wife wears heels a lot - and can wear taller heels ok - then most likey she has the foot & ankle flexibility for these pictured ballet shoes. Ballet shoes like this aren't comfy for standing long times, but for walking and standing a bit they're not hard to wear or balance, certainly no harder to balance than her tallest normal heels would be. The trick is to lace these very tightly across the top of her foot to take as much pressure off her toes when standing - if you can get the fit tight across the bridge of the foot above the toes then ballets become more comfortable. The ankles straps etc in this design do nothing for comfort/support in this type of shoe.

Well, I'd suggest you figure out something she's wanted you to do for a while for her, and plan a night making her feel special, offering these as something 'interesting' for the intimate time, but while making sure your focus is on her, with these being just a little extra spice. 1 (formerly known as "JimC")
Pierre1961 Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 I watched the Alexandra Potter videos and found the way she walks totally stunning. So I was wondering if any here have tried to wear some. Could it considered as a good traming or rather à feet destroyer? Thanks Pierre
Charlotte Posted August 23, 2019 Posted August 23, 2019 Just lace them on her while she is sound a sleep. 1
jamie1608 Posted June 7, 2020 Posted June 7, 2020 Can anyone advise me on what size pleaser ballet boots I should go for as I’m a size 8
at9 Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Since jamie1608 is in the UK I assume he means UK8. This is equivalent to EU42, US men's 9 or US women's 10. This is always an approximate conversion since sizes differ between makes and styles. I usually take UK9 shoes. I used to own a pair of Devious 1020 ballet boots which were marked 11. I think this was US women's size. With ballet boots never go too big. You need a tight fit so that most of your weight is on the instep, not your toes. In case anyone is wondering, I got mine out of curiosity, secondhand. I could just about walk in them after some practice and then felt they weren't worth the effort.

Pierre1961 Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 I agree. Tried once. Doesn’t worth the effort. look,style and feeling aren’t as great as a nice 6” court shoe. 2
HiHeeler Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 These are my new Ballet Heels. They have a small toe box which makes it soooo much easier on the toes and walkable. Love 'em 3
Chorlini Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 They look remarkably like a pair that the late Pantera once wore on a photo shoot.
