What height of shoe do you wear?
Just wondering what size heel most of you wear? I started with 6 inch heels and am wanting to move up to 7 or 8 inches. can you tell a big difference between 6 and 7 or 8 inch heels? Thanks! 🙂

Most of my heels are in the 5.75 to 6.5 range, mainly because that is the most popular height and has the greatest variety. That said, I killed my beater/trainers and ended up getting a pair off ebay. I had no idea until I got them that they are almost 8″. I have been having the biggest problem with my calves cramping in them when I dance. I am not sure what the big difference is however the cramping is ridiculous (the angle of the foot is no different than my lower heels). I would not suggest jumping from 6 to 8 but stepping up to 7’s first.

I only recently started wearing them, 6″ is more than enough for me at this point! 🙂
-
I always wear six and thought they where high now I’m used to them I have gone for 7 inch trying them out tomorrow 🙂
-
yep, I’m thinking my next pair of shoes will be 7inch. My 6inches are gonna be worn out soon

I wore 6″ for 6 years. Just switched to 7″s and I don’t know how I lived without them. They’re so much better for floorwork.

Agreed korinne!!!

I love the pleasers 7 inch heels.

Kori, please elaborate??

I feel more comfortable sliding along the toe with the 7in vs the 6. I also smash my toes a little less in general. Not sure if it’s just my craziness but it feels easier to me!

I’m tall so I to for the 6″
-
I started in 7 inchers and love them. I’m only 5’2″ so I feel like a big girl in them lol
-
I’m convinced! I just ordered 7inch glitter heels. Yay!!! now the long wait begins…
-
I wear 6 inchers for pole. They make me like 6’2, which is awesome enough for me, so that’s probably what I’ll stick with. My regular dress heels I like no more than 3-4 inches. But I have a few 6 incher heels in my dressy shoe collection.

I really like higher shoes because they make your legs and extensions look so much longer. The shortest ones I wear are 7″. I like a big platform for floorwork, as some people said, and I also like the additional weight of a heavy platform as I think it forces you to move a bit slower. I have one pair of 8″ that I think the platform is hollow and they’re really hard to dance in because it feels kind of like walking on air? It’s weird. I definitely like a big, heavy platform in my shoes.

I think it depends on the performance and what moves you are doing also. A lot of floor work or splits, the bigger the better! 7 is my fav but maybe I’ll try 8 one of these days! However, I find that the bigger the platform, the heavier the shoe. My dead lifts and iron X’s are more difficult with bigger heels. So if there are a lot of strength moves in a performance, I will often opt for 6’s. Hope that helps.
