"Received my shoes today, they are nice. Taupe is suppose to be brownish/grey? the shoes are light grey, not that I am complaining. Too bad you can not quite see that the heel is glued to the platform,…"
The ballet shoe/boot is a contemporary style of fetish footwear that merges (the look of) the pointe shoe with the ultimate high heel. The idea (along with the illusion) is to force the wearer's feet almost en pointe, like those of a ballerina, with the aid of long, slender heels. When upright, the feet are held nearly vertical by the heel, thus putting nearly all of the body's weight on the tips of the toes.
