  • Question on shoes

    Posted by Synthemesc on June 17, 2009 at 8:07 pm

    So, I was on the Pleaser website, and I noticed the style I was looking at had two variations: one without an ankle strap and one with an ankle strap and buckle.

    Which should I get? Will the buckle scratch the pole? Would the one with no ankle strap come flying off?

    Any info or experience shared would be appreciated.

    You definitely want to stick with shoes with straps. Mules are okay if you have the experience dancing in them, but yes, they will come flying off. I have a pair with buckles and I have not experienced any scratching on the pole because their position rests around the ankle and not at a place where my foot would connect with the pole to damage it. Once you find the style you like, I recommend looking for it on other discount sites. I’ll try to find a list to get back to you with stores so you can save a bit while shopping https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

    I had a pair of clear Ellie shoes and over time the plastic got brittle (best way to describe it). One of the straps broke off so I decided to just cut them off from both shoes and I do not feel as secure in them as I used to. The straps add a good amount of stability.

    Definatly get heels with ankle straps https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif I really like my Ellie shoes, the chrome ones I wear are Ellie and they are my most comfortable. I have very narrow feet, so I’m not sure if someone with wider feet would like them. I also normally wear a half size in shoes, but in "stripper" heel they usually don’t come in half sizes, so I go down in size not up, because they tend to stretch a bit. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
