Photos? 😉

I'm not wearing them at work 😁 , so you'll have to wait until this evening...
Excellent! Seriously considering some as a birthday treat when the time comes around...

I have a pair of Devious knee high ballet boots that have seen quite a lot of wear and need replacing. I could wear them for extended periods of time but walking was limited to a few minutes at a time - though I could just about walk around in them unaided if my feet/legs weren't tired. I imagine the block heel style should be easier to walk in and distribute the force a bit better!

So I guess delivery is about 6 weeks from ordering - seems right for made to order + sea shipping.

I have the Devious boots, too. The toe-box is too soft, so a lot of weight rests on the big toe. With the new boots, the weight is distributed across the whole foot.
They took 7 weeks from placing the order to shipping. That's totally fine imho...

So here are some photos:

I have re-laced them in a corset-style now, which makes them a lot easier to put on and I can lace them tighter.
The keys will go into the kitchen-safe for a couple of hours once I'm sure, that they are not too tight now...

I thought, I'd practice a bit before I throw away the keys  😁

I wore them 7 hrs yesterday until my toes hurt a bit. Shouldn't take long until I can go overnight...
Oh, check this extreme high heel Ali shop!

My dream would be over-knees with built-in leg-corsets!
Amazing...
