“It’s clever because if I had a shoe with a heel, the heel gets stuck in the metal skirt. So that was our issue with walking,” she explained.

“To wear these, you’re on your tiptoes, and you’re balancing the whole time flexing your calf muscles,” she continued. “I think ballerinas do it, and they probably have a lot of practice. This is our only practice, but we’ll do it.”
