I input 'mens ballet boots' on the search engine page and was suprised by the number of sites it brought up. Imagine my 'surprise' when I opened one only to find a display of semi-nude men in leather boots of all descriptions! It appears that 'ballet boots' refers to a type of fetish boot... Seriously now does anyone know where I could buy (new or used) ballet boots size 8-9 in beige or brown?

What a shocking story, Caroline! You'd better let me have the URLs by e-mail (or should i say he-mail). Just so I don't go to them by mistake, you understand.<P>I've consolidated the two topics on this theme in the Studio.<P><BR><p>[This message has been edited by Stuart Sweeney (edited January 17, 2001).]

And so I shall move this thread to The Studio - Caroline follow me down there....

So - here we are Caroline...<P>Do you mean character boots? as are used in ballet by men in character roles?<P>Here is a page of places you can look - I found it on Google:<P> <A HREF="http://www.google.com/search?q=%22character+shoes%22&btnG=Google+Search" TARGET=_blank>http://www.google.com/search?q=%22character+shoes%22&btnG=Google+Search</A>

Yes I think so, thanks I never thought of using the word character!
