main difference btw devious/pleaser and cheaper ballet heels resp. ballet boots
By now in the *balletheel market*, it seems to be a main battle between the well known devious (pleaser) balletheels resp. balletboots and less expensive differently branded balletheel styles like those by kassiopeya . the price difference for new shoes in shops / over ebay is appr. 50%.
If you have any ambitions to walk on balletheels I would recommend to pay more and go for devious/pleaser balletheels even if this style is still less well walkable than those by lsb, punitive shoes or similar which I won´t discuss right now. Also the last mentioned usually will be more expensive and less easy to find.
As to quality: such shoes are not meant for walking anyway, right;) ? So the cheaper balletheels are nice for photography, as a mean of bondage or/and as fetish shoe for what ever. As soon as you´d take one or two steps on your tiptoes wearing these – my opinion is that they are even more dangerous for feet than other balletheels which are not harmless anyway.
Originally the style probably beeing copied from hot peppers /qualifetish, it will be difficult for the most to recognize either it is a devious fetish shoe or not. Here some little help if buying second hand, if not indicated or not sure:
devious pleaser balletheels are actually only black leather /black pu – except for some balletheel (pump/ court shoe) styles (as shown below) . so any balletBOOTS, either ankle high, thigh high balletboots or kneehigh balletboots of any other colour than black is NOT devious/pleaser. So for balletheels in pink, red knee high balletboots or white thigh high balletboots – you can be quite sure those are no devious.
For black, THE colour for such a fetish shoe of course, it is a little bit more difficult to recognize. One point is: devious/pleaser ankle high ballet boots have no zipper! Also as far as I know only devious offers balletboots in real leather (though one should be aware, saying a shoe is made of genuine leather does not obligatory mean better quality, fitting, walkability or what ever).
Sometimes you will find pictures of completely unique looking balletheels too… then just ask the photographer/model, may be there is no wonder, no new manufacturer, just somebody trying out some crazy things whith the shoes! so the balletheel below is a *normal* devious/pleaser ballet court shoe in white beeing partly painted red with latex colour (not the most recommendable way to do it, but one can try;) )
the most recommendable balletheels for beginners / walking lessons on balletboots -LSB balletboots
There is quite a lot of stuff one can do wrong when learning walking on balletheels, especially if leaded more by fetish and fantasies and less by reliable information but one thing is doubtlesly clear and easy to learn – the best balletheels resp. balletboots for learning walking these extreme shoes are lsb (the little shoe box) ballet heels. Unfortunatly this manufacturer is out of business since several years so it is not only difficult to find these shoes but they cost partly more than they did new. so if you see any at ebay as an example- GET THEM! even if they might be some sizes too large- the case here to see in the old photo below – me wearing balletboots beeing some 4 sizes too large - but the quality is exceptional and not to compare to any other balletheels. Also, though the shoe it self isn´t that elegant (assuming a balletheel can be elegant LOL) the heel itself is not that high as that of the more common and cheaper balletheels which won´t be suitable for beginners except you are balletheel talented (let´s say 1-2% of balletheel interested are). The same: I´d recommend knee high balletboots for the first walk as they give more support than ankle high balletheels give but do not restrict one as much as overknee balletboots might.

classification ballet heels – balletboots
Generally I would suggest the following classification of these extreme high heels with following pictures to make a better overview :
Ballet Boot (ankle high, knee high or overknee/thigh high)

Ballet Heel (court shoe with a ballet heel)

these following heels are called very often ballet heels too but in my opinion the main feature of a balletheel is the position of the feet; shoe forcing the wearer to walk on ones toes (en pointe)- while here it is more a like walking on *tiptoes* – so we might speak about extreme or ultra high heels here. Note here: this shoe has also a small wooden platform but as the difference is still over 6 inch making the shoe very extreme, it counts to the ultra high heels as well.
