I have read in a few fictional stories about thigh bands adjusted to a point where one would be uncomfortable standing on flat feet, requiring either high heels to satisfy, or a tip toe position. I approached the author, and he said there is some truth to this, and added that the bands could be so tight that it also enforces the slave to keeping moving, not be allowed to just relax in her predicament, as circulation would not be maintained in a seated or lying position. Something about pinched nerves, maybe also tendons and ligaments being unable to flex. He also admitted it is not a great idea for solo play, as I had suggested it would be a way to enforce high heels without having to lock them with straps or chains, anywhere, because if she took them off while walking through the mall, she would pay the price, silently, as she can not simply point to the straps and explain "This is why I can't slip these shoes off to walk a long distance." It is likely this will have to remain filed under fantasy, but I thought I might ask if anyone has heard of this or tried it? I might be willing to try it, with an immediate escape method at the ready.

I dunno about thigh bands, but I have done something like that before. I used reusable zip ties around the ankle. I put on the heels that were perfect height then closed it around the area of my Achilles tendon below the ankle bone. After that, flattening my foot was very difficult and painful. With pressure on the closure, the locking pin was bound and almost impossible to release, but pointed foot, it could be released with only a bit of fiddling to prevent it from being too easy. As long as I was in the heel position, the straps were very comfortable and I forgot they were there until I went to take off my shoes!

I think this is a safer alternative to the thigh bands because it only relys on physical restraint (preventing stretching of the Achilles tendon) rather than nerve restriction and blood flow constriction that can be very dangerous

I was trying to find the metal version saw some time ago, but this might work as well.

Those would also work! They function on the same principal as my experience. If you keep the tendon from stretching out, you are forced into a pointed position

Cait, That That, these are wonderful ideas, I may even explore. I have been looking for something like that. I think the closest to those pony trainers I ever saw was on insex or something, where a chain was wrapped under the heel and around the ankle, looked kind of painful and bulky though.
But I think what makes the original idea so interesting is the invisibility of it. I mean, if you are walking miles down the street, where heels are totally impractical, but you really don't have a choice, as the shoes are the easier route. Someone, out of concern, asks why you don't kick off those awful shoes, you are forced to either tell them to leave you alone, or confess to being bound so close to your bathing suit area, which could lead to a free soft core pornographic display of showing it. Or just suffer silently, possibly in tears. You don't really want to hitch hike, right, a shortcut to the keys?
Or think of the "Chore Whore" who is running errands all over town, in towering heels. Standing in line, you get a phone call from the person tasking you to run the errands. After the calls, the person standing behind you figures out that you are "paid" to grocery shop, but asks why you are in 6 inch heels. Write your own explanation here, but the fact is, you can't even stretch that high in your barefeet, as it is no longer about height, because you can only get that high by rolling the ball of your foot forward.
If I grab those ponies, I'll let you know. $$ is the biggest obstacle right now though, have to watch my $$ until I have a good lead on my renovations here. Maybe I'll DIY a set, the mechanics seem simple enough. Don't know about making them at all comfortable.
Thanx again friends. Shan' salutes you

wouldn't be me if i wouldn't think of a high-tech solution...:
you could build micro-switches into the toes area or use one of those pressure-sensitive foils. Wire them so, that the contact is open when they are pressed.
Then take a shock collar and connect the leads in series to the remote button. You now have to keep at least one button pressed or get shocked...

The only problem I see with your original plan is that it relys on constricting hard enough to essentially limit an entire muscle group. This obviously has huge dangers from pinching nerves to cutting off circulation. Given major arteries in the thigh, it would also bring a massive risk of blood clots. I think the closest you could get half ass safely is having it tight enough that it creates a tight feeling if you go onto flat feet. This would create a tiny bit of a waddling movement due to slight discomfort, but minimize the risk. Another issue with the thigh band is that knee movement would also make it constrict. I think that idea, atleast to the extent you are talking about is best left to fantasy.

Also, if you want it hidden, build the restraint "into" the shoe. It would be simple to use a matching leather cord or band around the ankle to make it appear to be part of the shoe. In reality, it would be separate and still enforcing the heel position even if you take off the shoes. This is a great idea, but safety has to be considered.

I really appreciate the responses, to this nutty idea I bring before you. I just had to make absolutely sure I was right about it being impossible. As I had hoped it did bring about some interesting ideas.
If it wasn't cheating, and if this wasn't my thread, I might have suggested a sort of toe ring lock inside the toe box, once worn, one could use a special key to tighten it. But it would have to be a platform type to hide the machinery.
Or maybe bring back this little gem:

These look like they might require a little DIY to make them stay on as intended, but look like they could certainly enforce a strain or pain predicament.They do look kind of dangerous, like if one were to mis step off the stairs and crash their heel down, that spike might crack a few bones.

Oh, definitely. The metatarsals will surely be splintered to pieces, some muscles will be sprained, and I wouldn't be surprised if several ligaments were torn. Maybe a dislocation or two for good measure. The orthopedic surgeons will earn their pay here.

A bad fall and the weight of the wearer will be amplified by the tongue as a lever, with the shackle as a pivot. Just hearing those bones crack and splinter would be almost as bad as the injuries themselves (I know something about that...).

I suggest using those things with a walker.

Duct tape with jacks, rice, or thumb tacs would do the trick. Tape them to the heal (pointed side up) and the wearer will walk on tip toes or won't walk at all.

They look scary. I would not wear those you could really hurt yourself I think.
If you have ever had a heel break on you or seen that happen to someone then you will know how difficult it is to work with your foot in that position. I have had heels break off shoes before and its just easier to take the shoe off and walk bare feet even in the cold. And as this is a self bondage forum I suppose you would likely be wearing some kind of restraints? I would not recommend this. You are really putting yourself at risk of falling and hurting yourself.

I suppose the way I see high heels is different, I see them as glamorous, empowering and sexy. Yes they do make my feet ache after a while but they are about the look and how they make me feel rather than what they impose on me even when I am feeling kinky and possibly tied up in them they still feel empowering to me.

Without getting too much into my opinions, I will say that I share your love for the heels, the look, the feel, ect. I just wanted another option, or punishment available.

You've got that so right, Lisa!

Nothing like a pair of stiletto-heeled boots, Italian leather, at least 4 inch heels, and at least up to the knee.

With a wasp-waist corset, of course!

(I think I need to take another shower...)
