    Default Fetish ballet shoes

    Has anyone ever walked in a pair of these? I've had an idea of a burlesque routine involving some and I'm wondering how difficult it is to walk in them. I've trained in ballet and can walk and dance en pointe no problem so I figure it can be that different? I've tried on a pair before but I didn't have a go at walking in them, they felt like pointe shoes but much stiffer. I know it is possible to walk in them as I've seen people do it on youtube.

    For anyone who's not sure what I'm on about, heres a pic.

    Just realized this should maybe be in body business, feel free to move it, sorry!

    I know, thats a good point. The routine I'm planning involves a chair though so I won't be atcually standing in them the whole time, I just want to totter about a bit in between sitting down.

    I THINK the point of those shoes is that you CAN'T walk in them. For S&M type play and whatnot.

    You ARE trained in ballet or you HAVE? Because, don't you have to constantly practice en pointe? I've heard that it can be very hard on your toes.
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    I still keep up with my training as I do a lot of my burlesque routines en pointe. I know the point is not to walk in them but I know it is possible as there are loads of clips on you tube. I was just wondering if anyone here had experienced walking in them.

    Um. She didn't exactly 'move around' a lot in them. She just stood up, stood down.. point here.. point there.. not a LOT of actually 'walking' around in them.

    So I guess I would only advise doing them if you have a similar routine which doesn't involve a lot of 'walking' or 'strutting' around .. or if you do.. you can easily 'support' yourself with something?

    I'm pretty impressed by this actually. The girl was really on balance and didn't wobble at all although she was using them more like pointe shoes as she didn't put any weight on the heel and just used the pressure through the toes to support her. The kind of routine I would do would be quite similar to this I suppose except I would use a chair.

    Meh, I don't like them. The clip was impressive because I'm sure I wouldn't even be able to sit down while wearing them. I'd much, much rather see a burlesque show where the performer has on "normal" shoes and is able to move around a lot and put on a high energy performance.

    Oh yeah, you can totally walk in them if you've done pointe work. I have a pair of the boots and the shoes. I recommend the boots. The shoes tend to fall off your ankles and you'll be glad of the extra support the shoes give your ankles.

    Just treat them like pointe shoes, break them in a bit, practice a lot. It's true that you won't be able to come down off your toes, so that's a bit of a pain, but you can do it.

    Thanks hon, I can't really afford the boots at the mo. I'm going to get the shoes and tie ribbons round the ankle pinte shoe stlye, hopefully that will give me a bit more support.

    Ah..I love ballet shoes and boots...i have tried walking in them before and it is extremly difficult...I prefer the boots over the shoes for waking..just becuz it's a little bit easier since u have better ankle support...I'm actually trying to learn contortion and when u get into it they suggest walking en pointe for like 30 min a day and to use ballet shoes like those to help when u do it longer...but as for your question the people in fetish who do use them regularly can walk in them pretty well but they do actually "train" in them...also it is different than pointe shoes for ballet..becuz with pointe shoes u r actaually "over" pointe..but the ballet shoes keep your foot exactly on pointe/a little before pointe and that actaully makes it more difficult to walk and stand in them for a while...you can tell the difference in the pics too if you look at how a pointe shoe for dance is actaully bent forward more..like your foot is arched more..than with the fetish ballet shoes...can u see the difference in the two pics?...maybe u could try the third pic shoes for something a little easier if the others were too hard for a show...

    but I agree that if u figured out how to use it for a burlesque show that would be badass!!...i have wondered about that many times before too...i'm sure u could if u practiced enough....I'd come see it!

    I think she's lovely, and clearly is a lovely dancer - but when she is upright she looks like a tool.

    Why not just use pointe shoes without the spike in back?

    Exactly what I was thinking. They look so much better. That little heel just looks retarded.

    As for walking in them, if they are stiff like you say, it should be kinda like when they tape your feet up for en pointe. Not sure if you've ever had that done, my college roomie had a toe issue and was always taping hers.

    Thats the thing, I already do a lot en pointe, I want to do something fetishy and a bit different. I've already done a fetish style routine using pointe shoes, I want tp take this one to the next level!

    Lovelife, I noticed that your weight in the fetish shoes seems to be a lot farther back than in poite shoes, my feet are very loose so I do always have my weight really far forward, I think this will be the hardest thing to learn.

    I once saw a girl do routine in pointe shes but she had added a heel to them herself somehow and covered the whole thing in pvc to make it look like a shoe. It looked pretty cool, especially as they were hot pink! Maybe I'll give this a go.
