Which brand ballet boot?

[ILuvHeels]

Hey all, I remember someone mentioning which brand ballet boot is easier to walk in. I forget what mine are but I believe they were the harder ones to walk in lol I hope they're still available

Think that TLSB ballet boots is a little easier than Pleaser Devious ballet boots as the TLSB boots have a broader heel.

TLSB is out of business. The ones from Punitive look well made with sturdy heels but I have not tried them yet. Pata could probably offer a good suggestion if you could ask her. The ones from Devious are made with the heels a little too long and the heels don't stand up well if you are like me and walk with a heavy foot.

punitive shoes are without question easier to walk than a devious ballet cuz the heel is less high.. although the difference does not seems so significant as you can see in the pics below... but it is also about the more robust heel and the ankle.

What I do not like about those italian ballets is that they are so wide around the feet and ankles. the leather of the italian ballets is much smoother- feeling better but probably not as good when the heels would be ankle high or lower as stiffer shoes surely are felt as stabler.

If you would find any anywhere- buy a LSB balletshoe! Once tried out LSB-Ballet-Boots and although they were several sizes too large they were the best I´ve ever walked in.

All of mine are from Hot Peppers who is also out of business. The Devious boots are a copy of the Hot Peppers but nowhere near close in quality. I have tried the LSB boots and they are much easier to walk in Jen

I had one pair from LSB and they were by far the best quality and the easiest to walk in. Damn shame they went out of business.

From what I just read, I hope I haven't made a mistake. I just purchased a pair of Devious Ballet boots. These are my first pair of point boots. I wore them for about an hour after getting them. Definitely a different sensation with your toes straight down. I am not a novice to high heels, but these will be a challange. I read someplace else in the forums about cutting the heel down a little. Any comments? Innskin

What I did was remove the heel tip. Cut about 3/8 of an inch off and replace the heel tip with a metal one. This helps alot. If you happen to break the heels while walking see the modification thread. I hope this helps, Good Luck.

I too am to receive a pair of Devious boots next week. My first ballet boots! I will report my progress in learning to make them look good while I wear them. ST
