    I have 6 1/2" Pleaser Adore chrome-style heels w/ ankle straps, I forget the exact model #. I LOVE these shoes, they are perfect in every way! For being big platform spike-heels they are amazingly comfortable and, although it took me a few days to get used to them while on the pole, they are surprisingly easy to maneuver and walk in. My only prob is that I’m already too tall for my little pole-room, so I have be extra careful inverting when I wear my Pleasers so that I don’t scrape the ceiling. lol

    I also have a pair of chunky 4" heel knee-high boots by T.U.K that are not exactly made for dancing, but they are my favorite shoes to wear while on my pole. I don’t know why people say that matte boots don’t stick because mine do! Granted I am sure that shiny vinyl boots stick much better, but I really don’t like to stick too much…it makes noises and inhibits my momentum. Although my boots were purchased at Hot Topics and were intended only for fashion, I’ve found they are highly functional with climbs, holds, spins and inverts. The only problem is the metal eyelets create tiny superficial scratches on the chrome finish of my pole, so I only use them in moderation and will probably retire them from the pole entirely when I can afford a pair of Pleaser Electra’s.

    I have a ton of fashion cheapies I’ve bought on clearance at a variety of stores and I don’t recommend them for poling, lol. Although I do have a pair of magenta colored vinyl wedges that only cost me $5 that are highly effective in learning new moves while wearing heels. They are my "training heels" and they are designed in such a way that I can climb for hours without getting bruises or blisters on my feet, but I don’t really like how they look on me. They also scuff like no tomorrow and make squeaking noises (vinyl against pole, Eeeesh, how I hate that sound!), but as for learning how to work it in heels without getting sore and battered there is no better choice.

    As for where to purchase quality pole-shoes from, I buy from snaz75.com. They are fast, reliable, and have a wide selection from Pleaser, Demonia and also have a lot more cool stuff for poling other than just shoes! Beware, though, once you start buying this stuff it becomes very addicting. I am ALWAYS broke because I spend all of my money on pole-related activities and accessories. If you already do this too, well, more power to you fellow pole-junkie!

    Does anyone know where I could find some blacklight reactive shoes with a 5″ or shorter heel? It’s so hard to find cute pole shoes in that heel height range and I’m already pretty tall so I feel like a giant freak in the higher heels.

    When I wear my dance heels I am over six foot tall!!! Love it! My favorite brand is Tabu footwear. They are the most comfortable for me and you can customize the shoe as far as the tops/bottoms/fabrics/rhinestone patterns. My second favorite is Pleaser USA. I love my Pleaser Kiss light up shoes and Electra knee high boots.

    All of my shoes (except for boots) are strap varieties. I do not want a shoe hitting me in the head or causing other damages. 

    You probably will build a collection over time… start with what appeals to you and go from there!

    I find Pleaser to run just a bit too narrow for me if I've got to wear them for any extended period of time.  I find Jante to run a bit wide once the shoes have warmed to my foot.  Regardless, look for a shoe that has a suede (or faux-suede) footbed so your toes don't poke out over the edge. The suede allows your foot to stay in place better.  You're going to find a pair that was made just for you and when you do stick with 'em sister!

    I LOVE my (7) pairs of Glitter Heels by Tiffany (Tiffany Hayden from West Coast regionals 2010) Most of her line is clear acrylic with the glitter color of your choice on the platform…she has every color under the rainbow and will custom blend for you including holographics!!!  She will also "Glitterise" any heel of your choice that you send to her for 40$.  I can't say enough about how much I love them and I get constant compliments from everyone who see them.  For your first or only pair you probably want to get plain black or clear acrylic so that you won't have to worry about your shoes or the pole while you are learning/praticing. I like Elle brand.  Have fun!!!

    Pleaser Kiss 201

    I love how there's NO strap and yet they stay on your feet. Yup. I have 3 pairs. lol! I have a couple others but some are hard to walk in or fall forward or are too high or uncomfortable.

    I just got a new pair thanks to HoP and I am in LOVE!!! http://store.houseofpole.net/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=711%2DChrome

     

    They are very comfy!  The ones w/o a strap I will buy a size down and rub some lotion on my feet and get my foot in.  (then wash my hands right after so I can pole!) Those suckers wont go anywhere!
