What's amazing is, with the laws as they are in your area, how he can even SEE the type of shoes you have with that 328732684736 foot rule. :D

Sometimes they look as I'm throwing it at their head ;)

I usually wear 7" black platforms with ankle straps. I rarely receive comments on them. When I wear clear ones some first-time customers tend to ask what material they are and act all amazed. When I wear red ones I get compliments most often (I suppose they stick out and they do seem red hot slutty!). 6" black studded heels very few people pay attention to. I felt like a duck in them for ages (short legs, only 30" inseam) but now that I've slimmed up I like wearing those on occasion too, usually when I go for a more slutty than my usual look.

7 1/2" white knee-high boots look massive and get compliments from submissive types of customers. Some "normal" custies like them because they're special too. My 6" block heel black leather boots just get compliments, period. I've never understood their appeal, I find their look pretty boring and basic. They're comfy being real leather though.

I wore 5" black zip-up boots with a clear platform and metal spike heel last weekend, the guys didn't say much about them but they got admiring glances and the other dancers complimented on them a lot.

I also get requests for regular shoes at times, I just say that our club requires that you wear platforms and that's that. I've had some foot fetishists bring in shoes of their own that I've worn (with stocking) during their VIPs, and I just ordered a pair of regular no-platform 5" black pumps specifically for those customers.

I do think that non-platform boots are more elegant and sexy and they bring in big bucks from those few to whom it matters a lot. I'd really love to look classy at work but unfortunately at least in my case the cheaper/sluttier my clothing, hair and make-up are the more I make. So I pick my shoes based on that too. I wish more men voted for elegant with their wallets rather than just complimenting but then spending their money on the one girl who looks like a 5 dollar whore!

I've found in my three days of working this time that just about every customer you can talk to will have some opinion of what you should be doing, how you should be doing it, and how much more money you will make doing it. Wear what makes you feel sexy! Personally, I LIKE the bigger shoes. Someone wants to see me wear smaller heels they can buy me some, pay me lots of cash and take me to dinner!

There isn't going to be some consensus. Can't you just spin it... Get the fellow to buy some champagne room time for you while you go get your shoes and see which ones work best?

Hmm... the whole platform debate seems really interesting. I wore the 8" clear ones for almost the entire time that I danced, for a few reasons:

1) They make my big boat feet look small.
2) I have a long torso, so the extra length in my legs that I get from the platforms makes me look more proportionate.
3) I use the sides of my shoes to help me transition while during floorwork (more height = more side = more leverage)
4) Ankle straps make my ankles look fat; also seems like a good way to break an ankle.
5) Some brands of the higher heels have less of an angle to them (3 1/2 vs. 4), so less on-stage charlie horses.

And finally, I have this weird complex about the slip-off clear heels. They're my Cinderella shoes, and after going to the ball every night for years, I have yet to meet "my prince." They're just my ironic little comment on what I do, I guess.

To me, it's all about the fantasy so you should go with the most outrageous shoe you are comfortable in wearing. That you are comfortable with them I think is the major issue. Remember, your going to be prancing around in them so you better enjoy wearing them.

I do pay attention to the shoes a dancer wears but a former ATF had a serious shoe fetish. After several years of being dragged around shopping for shoes, I have a mild shoe fetish myself now. When I check out a lady now it's Face & Hair, Rack, Shoes then everything else.

I honestly don't notice shoes very often. A dancer's best strategy in this area to get dances from *me* would be to wear what's comfortable and/or makes her feel sexy.

Hehe...I absolutely cannot stand wearing platforms, I feel like I waddle like a duck in them, they're just too heavy for me.

These are the shoes I wear at work. Almost none of the girls at work can understand how I can wear em, but I'm used to em. (bear in mind I'm 35 and have been dancing since I was 18...they didn't even *have* platforms when I started dancing, it was *all* 5-6 inch stilettos!)

Sure, they hurt like hell breaking a new pair in, but once they're broken in, they're as comfy to me as any other non-heeled shoes I wear, and I can full-out run in them if need be...I can and have run full speed from our second-floor dressing room, down a full flight of stairs, across the club, and up the stairs to stage in them.

semi random thought that popped into my head while reading this.. every time Ive put on my stripper shoes in front of my exbf he has had sex with me within 3 minutes of putting them on.. (for the record this even worked during a time when my constant advances were turned down).. knock on wood though.. we still have sex.

they are tall shoes..

^^ no way.

There is a woman in her 40's at my club (who does well btw) who wears shoes like this. I've never seen her complain about them, and she prances around like a 20 year old in them. She also has a better bod than most of the 18-25 girls too.

I think stiletto sandals are the sexiest

IMO. . .
The shoes that look like a normal black or red stiletto but have a clear moderately sized platform seem pretty ideal. Like your hotness is somehow floating magically just off the floor and into my lap. One dancer told me that a bit of a platform made it more comfortable and easier to dance in. And if the booties get enhanced in the process, I won't complain. Cartoonishly huge heavy clunky shoes don't seem sexy to me.

Most important of all: How sensuously can you MOVE in your shoes?

I didn't want to take the time to read the whole thread, but my opinion is that I don't care one way or the other. Both styles of shoes look good. That is assuming that the dancer can walk in them without looking like she is about to fall over. I have seen a few dancers who look really clunky, and it is hard not to laugh.

Maybe you should have a pair of each in the DR, and if that guy comes in again, you could tell him that you will change your shoes, just for him. Who knows, he might tip for that.

I also like it when a dancer takes off her shoes and dances barefoot for me. But I suspect I am in the minority on that.

^ I always take my shoes off to give a private dance, unless I'm at a club that doesn't allow it. It makes my dances more graceful. Plus, then I'm allowed to stand on the furniture.

i don't really hear guys comment on the height of my shoes often, but i always get asked how tall i am without them...i'm already 5'8 barefoot, so even when i go out in public with my regular heels on (4 inches), im already taller than a LOT of men. so i figure, when i'm at work, it doesn't matter if i wear 4,5,or 6 inch heels...if customers don't like tall chicks, they won't dig me unless im sitting on my ass. and for the guys that DO love tall women, they are QUICK to claim me as their amazon haha...but i prefer my 6" because they are easier to balance in and they look more like stripper shoes as opposed to 5". but i might get m some shorter ones just in case a bunch of little people come in the club one day and i'm still trying to make money :)

I think the "normal" heels are ugly. They remind me of payless plastic heels bleh. I'm tall and have legs for days and still wear 6-inchers. It actually bothers me to see girls in normal dance club heels, seems unprofessional...ahah

I really like the standard 4-6in platform shoes, but only in solid colors. For some reason I like the solid black or white shoes much better than the clear ones. But I can honestly say that the dancer's shoes would never determine whether or not I got a dance. Unless it was clear plastic platforms with a dead goldfish in them. Then I'd reconsider.

And his name was George Gallup?

How do we manage to get so many guys who know what "most men" prefer? And coincidentally it always seems to be the same as what they prefer.

Interesting question in a way though, and I had to think about it a bit.

If I see a woman walking down the street, I usually think there is nothing sexier than a pair of "fuck me" pumps (3" - 4" stiletto heel), a short skirt and probably stockings. I would much prefer that to standard stripper platforms.

The club is a bit different. It's probably conditioning, because the first time I saw someone wearing 6" platforms I thought they were really weird. But now, I have the same reaction to the 4" ones in your post; the 6-inchers look normal.

Somehow I get the feeling this is one of those questions like "should I get a boob job". Guys will scream for weeks that natural is better, but they'll still flock all over you when they see the results. Except for a few who just like to be critical no matter what, which could be another reason for the original comment. :shrug:

i agree, noting better than fuck me pumps

At first my husband said "who cares?". but after some prodding he admited the taller platforms can make a girl look sexier, and the height will get her more attention.

I have a strong dislike for platforms. They don't look feminine to me because of the chunkiness. One of the things I like about a girl in really tall stilettos is how her feet end up arched down at a high angle. Platforms reduce this effect. If there's a girl in regular heels at a club, she's the one I'll notice. These are the definitive sexy shoes in my book:



I'm 6'4" and typically date girls around 5'11" and I more-or-less expect them to wear at least 5 1/2" stilettos out for me. Anything under 5" and I start to lose interest. Height's not a problem as you can't get more than about 3 1/2" lift out of regular heels. After the first 3 inches, or so, your foot swings forward more than it goes up. So, there's not a translation into overall height, inch-for-inch. A 6' girl I saw wore 6" regular heels all the time and she was still a little shorter than me.

Back to the point though, honestly I can't stand platforms. The last dancer I dated would bring them over after work and I just told her to leave them in the corner. Barefoot was preferable to me. The funny thing was my neighbors seeing her leave in the morning carrying them in her hand. ha ha

It so is! When I first went to a strip club before i started dancing I thought the platforms looked so tacky and disgusting. Now that I work at a club I own like 4 pairs and think they are cute. It is totally conditioning. Its a norm at clubs to wear platforms so i would be surprised if a guy cared either way, especially when 99 percent of the other girls are wearing the same thing

besides the general "oh my god those are tall" or "how do you walk in those?" guys typically don't comment on my shoes. girls do, all the time. i think unless they're really hideous, MOST guys don't give a shit... and i'd see even less give a shit when it comes to buying a dance. i doubt, unless the guy is super picky or has a foot fetish, that it effects your sales much, if it all. there are plenty more sales effecting things i would consider higher on the list.

Windy,
Given the choice between the two pairs of shoes you picked out, I'd say the platforms. However, I think I know exactly what your customer had in mind when he spoke of smaller, more feminine shoes. He meant something more like these:







They're very thin-heeled, with small straps, and a sleek, sexy "pretty" look to then. They're more "classy-feminine-sexy" as opposed to the *ahem* forgive me, "hot-slutty-Iwannabangyou-sexy" that is the giant 6-9" platform-heeled shoe.

The smaller ones are more traditional, and it makes sense that an older customer made that comment. I tend to agree with him, but really, whichever type of shoe fits your personal style is best.

Gasp*.. How can you even wear these for 7 hours straight???? POOR TOES!!!! I would never be able to...
6" Ellies are the most comfortable shoes ever. Pleaser 6" has a smaller platform and therefore are inferior.

Let's face it. Attractive women in great high heel shoes are about the sexiest thing there is. True, that isn't the only thing that draw the eye, but it adds so much to the package that it takes it to irresistible. My only regret for the ladies is that I know that most, if not all aren't that comfortable, at least for any period of time but WOW! do the narrow heels in a great shoe look great. Can't help it. On the other hand, a great looking gal could wear scuffed army boots and come out looking great. In fact............

Hey this is a question for the male customers...

Today i was dancing and one old man told me that i should get heels that dont have a huge platforms. he said most men prefer smaller heels with less platform...beause it looks more "feminine" or something..

so just wanna knwo some opinons...do you prefer dancers with shoes like these, the bigger platforms :

http://snaz75.com/pl-sky-308.html

or some like these:

http://snaz75.com/el-421-brook.html

Or does it not really matter to you? haha.

For me, it is most definitley the second type. The big platforms are ridiculous looking. They make it look like you have enormous feet. They also kind of remind of the pimp from I gonna git you sucka who had goldfish in his platforms. Neither is a good image for me.

This is why I wear wedge platforms with a thick base at the heel. The wedge shape is so much easier for me to move in ( I could not walk in heels at all 4 monts ago and still struggle in stilletto heels ). They are 5.5-6 inches of height total. I don't think the guys care that I have "training wheel " shoes.
