ChipsHH Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I've recently gone to YouTube and search for 'Pony Hoof Boots.' Not many came up. I revised the search, and again, not many to nothing came up as results. That only in turn made me curious as to what would pop up in search on Google, the main search engine I use, so I searched 'pony hoof boots', 'pony boots', and 'pony boot pics'. Only pictures of shoes for ponies came up (oh! and a few old-fashioned pics of legs in pony boots). This leads me to my question. Are pony hoof boots becoming more and more rare, so close as to being extinct? It seemed like only yesterday that we, and the select few sites, were talking about, or selling, pony hoof boots; how alot of us wanted to fancy a pair, or even as far as to end up in bondage with them on. Either way, it would seem pony hoof boots (or however they're really called) were beginning to rise up, at least in the forum. It brings up another question, but I'll wait on it. Let's have a thorough discussion on this part first. Formally "HHDude" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Shoe Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 The uppers for the Pony Boots were made by TLSB and Kaisers who finished them off seem to be unable to find someone who can supply them at the same quality without wanting to make them themselves.

Richy Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I don't think that the idea is dead at all. It's just that it is a very specialised market, and the small number of sales means that only a couple of companies that specialise in the ponygirl/boy fetish scene find it profitable enough to tool up to have them made. S-Art.de in Germany make excellent hoof boots although they are a little more expensive than the waterhole site in the USA. Of course, Punitive shoes do a modified pony boot, which is more like Devious Femme Boot with the curved heel. These are S-Art's hoof boots Mainstream has caught up on the theme as well now. These appeared on the New York catwalk recently. It probably won@t be long before they appear as a boot. Made by Antonio Berardi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletboot2000 Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I've neen waiting for 5 months for some "rancho" pony boots from punitive shoes. They claim they are having problems getting all the necessary bits. Looks like they are a dying breed I love the feel of that ultimate lift!

ChipsHH Posted October 22, 2007 Author Share Posted October 22, 2007 Hm, interesting. It's strange but how do ballet make it on celeb's feet in only videos (for now ), but the pony boots make it as far as only bondage? Two "impossible-to-walk-in" shoes, but only one more-popular one.

L.K. Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I have seen different but somewhat distant takeoff versions of this, but never like the boots she is wearing... very unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when did pony boots make their debut? Formally "HHDude" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarl Ayari Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Pony boots have appeared in music videos too. One that comes to mind is one of Tori Amos's early ones. Ballets have been in 7 or 8 music vids now Andi Smile and the whole world smiles with you, Fart and your on your own!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pata Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I tried pony boots as I visited this store http://www.leder-gummi-studio.de/index1.html , with a real hoof. quite funny - and unexpected easy to walk, but I would not buy them. Still I am pretty sure, they are not *dead* but still very interesting for alot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipsHH Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Well, that's glad to hear, I guess. I would love to see more of these come around sooner or later, maybe more or less in the fashion sense. Formally "HHDude" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeza Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 Hi, pony boots not extinct. Got a pair from Australia in march 2007 on a pre-production run for my husband. Knee length, front lace with proper steel hoof. Good fun but not easy to wear. I have had him out on Holloway Road, London wearing them one afternoon. I managed to get him to wear them from our hotel, Thistle Victoria, on a London Bus to the threatre district, have a meal and watch a show. A good fun night. teeza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphax Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 These guys still make hoof boots http://www.ponyplayranch.com The boots in the Tori Amos video were made by a British designer, Fleur Oakes, who doesn't advertise them. This is probably her website: http://www.fleuroakes.com/ As you can see, she's since moved on to textile art. Maybe if you ask nicely, she'll make a pair for you. Maybe not.

las Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Okay - I might be getting two styles confused here, or perhaps it's just the terminology... I saw some pics on the other page of pony hoof boots. And I always thought that the following particular style was called something similar - I'd love a pair of these to try out. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=7B24u9ZR5ZU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crotchboots-m Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 its a small market thing,too. as most of people interested in the product aquire them,the demand naturally drops off. if they had a marketing department they would have drum up demand. this is in keeping with the idea that marketing is an art form which gets people to buy products they neither really want/or need.

LukeVibertUK Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Just to add to the topic more than anything there is a vid on Youtube here of some...you will need to log in though due to age restrictions... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=xFHmdnb-oh0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinity Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 In my opinion they are not over and done with, But hey i have a pair on order from Marquis so i would say that. I thick they are stylish, and sexy and will have a niche just like ballet boots. Well that is what i think!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
