highest heel
Any of you polers own this brand of heel? They’ve got some seriously rad styles!
Question is what’s the toe space like… for me ellies seem narrow and pleasers a tad wider. What’s your experience with this brand in general? I’d love to hear! Thanks ahead of time Veeners:) -

Oh wow these shoes are GORGEOUS!
I don’t actually dance in heels much because I’ve had a foot injury followed by recent foot surgery BUT I have danced in them before. The first thing I noticed about this brand is that the sole curves up a bit at the front. Thus is standard for heels as it makes them easier to work in. However, it makes them less stable to dance in.
The Pleasers designed to pole dance in have a flatter sole. Not saying you should definitely not buy another brand (especially if you’re a seasoned heel wearer!) but as somebody who’s new to dancing in heels I’d shy away from them. My current shoes are from the Pleaser Bordello range and I want to get a new pair when I’m finally allowed to wear them again for this exact reason. Also, I want a pair with clear heels to make my t-rex proportions less noticeable and my legs looks longer.

Their toe beds are different than all the other brands. I took photos and included them in my blog post on their shoes. They are padded on the toes and arch, which I like a lot! http://femtasticdance.blogspot.com/2013/06/divine-dancewear-highest-heel.html

Thank you ladies! AG – loved the blog!! These sound perfect for my super NEEDY feet;)
-
👀… just couldn’t resist. I’ve got my first pair of 8 inchers on their way!! Gotta love the pole shoe addictionðŸ‘
-
Haha, Shoog! I’m with you on this whole shoe addiction thing! Thanks to AG’s blog post I am getting a pair, too. I’m hoping the padding at the toe bed will give my piggies something to hold on to so they aren’t sliding out as much. And thank you, Shoog, for telling us about this brand I had never heard of! 🙂

Yeay for you!! Im stoked on the padding as well, i have pain in my metetarsals, (im thinking it’s from wearing my super narrow 7inchers without stretching or conditioning my feet for the first year:/ so here’s to hoping i found my new favorite brand! I got mine from snaz75, they do free shipping over $75, I’ve ordered from them before and was happy with the order and heels. May I ask which ones you’re getting!!??!

I’m getting the pink UV ones! They were my third fave, though. I adore the kissable 71, the maryjane styled ones, but those wouldn’t tell me anything about the foot bed and it’s functionality. And then the diamond drilled ones are simply gorgeous, but I wanted to get a more affordable pair for my first ones, just in case.
-
PS- Love snaz75!!
-
Those uv ones are hot!! Right on, can’t wait to see them on your feet:)

@aerialgypsy: thanks for sharing your blog post! That is such a genius idea they had, to have toe and arch supports built-in. I need all the support I can get after a foot injury last winter, but putting a dr scholls insole in open toed stiletto sandals is NOT sexy haha!
-
That special sole with toe and arch support does sound super awesome!
As someone with hypermobile (and thus unstable) ankles who doesn’t wear heels day-to-day anymore due to a foot injury I’d love to hear a comparison on the shape of the sole vs a more flat sole like Pleasers for stability.
Because these heels are goegeous (I mean clear red, come on!) but stability has to be my number one concern when I’m healed up enough to start dancing in heels again.
