Ballet boots are a piece of kit that makes for a fun dynamic no matter how experienced the wearer is with them
No experience? Good luck walking at all without help, they basically work as a restraint on their own without any actual restriction of the body. Most would manage a few steps at most and otherwise only have the option to crawl if they want to move around, good for example there an intense scene or one where the goal is the sub being reliant on the Dom for things
Somewhat familiar? Then that means the sub has had to practice in them and practice can easily become training. The Dom gets to steady the sub as they take shaky first steps, enjoying the satisfaction of watching them improve while the sub gets to feel the improvement themselves. Or for a more SM type scene it means being made to walk in them is a doable but painful demand
Very experienced? Now it’s a sub that can move with ease and elegance despite what should be a severe hinderance, it indicates an ongoing or completed severe training regimen that speaks to a subs committed/trainers skill etc. If a Dom is proficient in them the significant height they give can be a very imposing tool, while the sharp heel/toe of them can be a very painful one
There are also a wide variety of types, from ones with a wider wedge heel base, to a stiletto point heel, all the way to one’s that have no heel at all which means the full weight is directly on the toe of the boot. Ankle type ballet boots that could be a subtle/stealth part of an everyday look or shiny thigh/crotch high lace up numbers that take time and effort to put on yourself or someone else, think if intimate scenes of methodically lacing up the leg as prelude to whatever activity they are being put on for.
They are also commonly lockable regardless of style, which is always a bonus in my book. Locks themselves could get a whole post of their own for what they can mean or represent in a scene/story
Ballet boots also just make for great character scenarios if you’re writing/drawing. A rowdy, brash character might be fifties with a pair to teach them a lesson in moving carefully while a more exacting/perfectionist character might struggle through learning how to move in them for their own reasons or to impress someone else
There’s lot of potential! As with any of my gear posting I of course like them aesthetically, but it’s the dynamics or feelings a piece of gear can bring to a scene or story that I really enjoy thinking about
Quick PSA though, unless you’re a trained ballet dancer you don’t want to rush into playing with them irl, it can be very easy to really hurt yourself with ballet boots. They are an intense piece of gear and while writing/drawing them being used on a whim is fine and fun, if you intend to get some irl be sure to do your research and get plenty of breaks and stretching
