That sounds delightful! I have only gone outside a few times with daring outfits but I have never been seen. I have a love high heels on women, men, and myself. I often played games that involved locking high heels and ballet boots on past girlfriends. . . that was a lot of fun! Now that I am single, I often leave keys to the locks outside and lock my ballets or high heels on :shock:
Sounds fabulous! I really need some ballet boots...

Definitely, they are a lot of fun. But, as I mentioned it will require a lot of practice to walk well. Some tips that I can pass on: I have tried several types a ballet boots and I actually find the best ones are the Pleaser Devious brand. Like many others on the internet, I too found that the heel was too long and so I used a metal grinder and shorten it. Previous girlfriends also found the heel to be too long and there's were shortened as well. Also, buy the silicone toe pads that ballet dancers use.

Sounds like good advice, thank you. :)

It's kind of funny, but this thread led me to buying the last pair of these boots (in my size) on Amazon! http://www.amazon.com/Pleaser-Womens-Se ... B009EOQR2I

I always wanted a pair, they used to cost more, and they seem to be hard to find in leather now so I'm wondering if they were discontinued.

Beyond those, I have FAR too many pairs of knee high and thigh high boots in leather, PVC, and suede, and only a few pairs of basic black pumps. One of these days I'll take (and post) pictures of some of my favorites! :D

I just bought me some of these:

https://image-api.octer.com/original/ht ... hei%3D1000

I'm currently sat here typing this with them on paired with leather effect pants, a brown knitted top and some lacy underwear. I'll get a photo of the new pants and top soon.

While buying the pants and the top the girl said "Do you want a gift receipt with these?" and when I said "Ooh, yes please" she went "Because I'm guessing they're not for you" with a sly look on her face! We ended up having a chat about women's fashion and how "there's sometimes too much choice".

I kind of enjoyed it. :lol:

I applaud you for being able to walk in them! :O Honestly *not* being able to walk while wearing them is half of the attraction for me. Question for you (or anyone that has had experience with ballet heels/boots) do you need to add a size when ordering them for them to fit? I've been Googling it for a bit now, and I've heard some say yes, and some no. So at this point I'm fairly confused xD

Thanks!

I'm a eu size 41, and i bought them in a 41. And they fitted perfectly. Not to tight, not to loose.

Based on everything I've read on this forum and elsewhere about ballet boots (and this forum and elsewhere about high heels in general) the official answer appears to be "definitely maybe!" :lol:

It's going to depend on the boot manufacturer, how they measure sizes, and the width of the wearer's foot (which probably matters more to crossdressers, since a men's "medium" is a woman's "wide" and a man's "wide" is off the chart for most off-the-rack women's shoes.

Women's shoe sizes are as bad as women's clothing sizes -- there's really no standardization, and "vanity sizing" and "size creep" means that trying things on is almost a necessity. A given manufacturer's size 10 will be bigger than their size 8, which will be bigger than their size 6, but one manufacturer's size has next to nothing to do with other manufacturer's sizes. (I've mentioned/joked/complained before that I've got a collection of boots that fit PERFECTLY, even though they range from one pair of 9 1/2's, many pairs of 10's and 11's, and a few pairs of 12's. Since I wear a US size men's 11 or 11 1/2, I SHOULD be wearing a women's 13 but every pair of those I've tried on are FAR too large. If I went up an additional size just because they're "high heels" -- as many people suggest -- it would be even worse.)

That makes total sense, I don't know what I was expecting as far as answer goes. haha, as I'll have to order them online, trying them on isn't really an option. Oh well, I guess I'll just order them in my size and if they hurt a little, that was the point of buying them anyways xD

I'll weigh in here as well. I find it very helpful when the manufacture has a size chart that includes foot measurements. I always findo I have the best fit in these cases. Also, I usually get a size smaller than what I measure because I always wear my ballet boots and high heels with pantyhose/stockings. This tends to make the feet a bit smaller and more slippery so the foot slides towards the toe box more.

I know this is super random, but it doesn’t hurt to ask :)

I miss my favourite shoes of all time. I lost them in the move and I might cry with happiness if I found another pair in my size. I have giant feet, and that makes this difficult, but if anyone has seen these in a US 12, Euro 42-43 or UK 10 and could let me know, you’d be my hero. The brand is “Ellie” and the specific type is “Estelle 469.”
