Tried to impress a Ballet friend in college by standing on point in steel toed combat boots. Managed it despite being an overweight man who has never taken dance class. She then started sketching out plans to modify the boots into toe shoes. She ended up kit bashing an old pair of toe shoes to look like boots and wore them to a mosh pit. Don't mosh will Ballerinas, they can end you and all that you love. ( yes i mixed up Toe shoes and pointe shoes. Two different things)
