 Re: Home made ballet heels
Hello,
home made, or made at work when nobody is there to asked questions, don't matter. I made thies ballet mules from stainless steal.
1) made the toe cups and standing base from 2 mm plate well fitted over my feed.
2) a plate as foot sole L+R with extra peace under the plate for extra strongness.
3) 3, 2 cm width bands to support the angle and a 1/2 cirkle to hold them together arround the angle
4) welled all the peaces together and make the finish off.
Later on I made a scrowhole for a removable heel, not on thies pics to see.
And I feel that the toecups are very hard on the font of the feet. This was the hardes part to make, in a bow and poined shaped. Perhaps a little to narrow to get some lining in and toe support.
This was a kind of fantasie from a story on the side of "thndrshrk" where a master scrow out the heels of the balletshoes the lady was wearing standing bound to the bedpost as sleeping place for the night. Practical that was not fun, 8 hours on your toes and little other support. But in the story, fantasy can do a lot.
I hope thie pics give a idea how it's look like. With some leather cuffs I fit the ankle band to my legs.
enjoy thies heeless ballet muiles
