O_o Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 **BUMP!** Anyone got anthing else to add to this thread, it's a fascinating topic- has anyone had any more luck or experiences with this? I've never actually gotten around to manufacturing a set of high-heeled skates, nor have I even managed to acquire the appropriate materials- I'll keep on the lookout though, and if I have any luck, I'll keep informed. If anyone else has any stories, please do share! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletboot2000 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Be careful, once you start it's addictive fun being helpless on top of heels and skates. You'll find that quad skates are more user friendly, although some people have used inlines. For me, the highest I've taken out, is a 5 inch heeled ankle boot, on quads, around a local country park's carpark. Any higher and its hard to cope with gradients.

O_o Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Yep, it requires a login... If you've got a Flickr account it'll work, it's strange that. I tend to use photobucket, you don't have to be a member to see links. Having said that, you can set it to require a password. That's by the by though- the skates look interesting, would be quite an experience to actually try and navigate around somewhere, I'll bet!

balletboot2000 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Took the skates for a trip around the local country park car park the other night. Progress isn't easy due to the lumpy tarmac. Need to look at changing the wheels for something better. I love the feel of that ultimate lift!

pata Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 .. now this is something I´d never dare though beeing quite good in skating. but the look is lovely:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletboot2000 Posted November 28, 2008 Author Share Posted November 28, 2008 Pata, I am sure a girl of your talents, with heels and skates, would soon find herself very competent at this. It is 'interesting', but it does give you quite a buzz. I love the feel of that ultimate lift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pata Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 oh it is less about buzz or challenge. I just think that if really *walked* or *skated*, (I mean not only standing around) the risk of injuries on these shoes is way to big I would do it - beeing able walking heels and having healthy feet and ankles would be more important for me than trying this.

Bubba136 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hopefully the picture will upload - if I've done this correctly BB WhooooooAHhhhhh! Now, that's a pair of "skates." How are those babies to skate in? and, what kind of reaction do you get when you wear them at the skating rink? Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.

balletboot2000 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hi Pata, on the few occasions when I have skated outdoors in the skates, it is not easy to get from the camera to a photographic pose before the camera takes the picture. It isn't as hard as it looks, especially on a road type surface I love the feel of that ultimate lift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletboot2000 Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Hi Bubba, skating rinks are not really common in the UK, so I can't really say. Outside on a paved roadway they are reasonably controllable. They don't roll too far, but I think that they need some better wheels which is something that I am looking into. Thanks for asking I love the feel of that ultimate lift! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lampwort Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Some years ago when I was fitter, I used 5.5" stilettoe boots on an adjustable Seiko quad-skate with big wheels & super smooth bearings. I could tie the heel securely with string through the 2 slots at the back of the skates that used to take the straps, then I used velcro for the front fastening. Skating on dry smooth road was an experience. Going down hill, the only way to stop was to run off onto the grass and usually end up in a heap. For an extra adrenalin rush that I then craved, I tried the combination on flat smooth ice and found that just standing still and upright was nigh-on impossible with the skates trying to take off in all directions at once. They were even greater fun with 7" sandals with a 2" platform. I always wore skateboarders knee pads to stop injury every time I fell over. I still have the skates but no-longer the heels. I now get my kicks on 20 inch peg stilts - but not on skates!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lampwort Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I've been skating (indoors) in heels for years. The feeling of helplessnes when on what I call High Wheels, takes my breath away. Incredible to find someone else who shares my interest. Does anyone else? High Wheels is a great name for this most unusual sport. I love the feeling of helplessnes. I used to use 5.5" stilettoes strapped to an adjustable skate as per the previous post. Then I put a 3ft square board on my bed and tried to stand on it. With the bed springs giving in all directions and the skates trying to launch in those direction, I got a huge WOW factor. then having found my balance I tried to turn round 360 degrees with nothing to hold on to but your balance and fresh air..................SUPER!!!

lampwort Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 If you could consider stilts as a form of high heels, how about 4ft high stilts downhill on a skateboard. Extreme I would think but it has been done. Have a look at these crazy stilters in the UK going up a climbing wall on stilts and coming down ramps on stilts on skateboards. http://www.flamingfun.com/shows/Stilts/crazystiltsskateboarder.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
