    Default What size heel do you prefer to dance in?

    My guess is that the most answers will be 7, but I'm interested especially how many people dance (particularly doing pole tricks) with 8. I'm just trying to decide if it's foolish to buy 8" heels if I'm doing lots of pole tricks or if it's better to stick with 7 or 7 1/2"...

    ^Ditto. I prefer the ones with a platform though, so they still look like stripper shoes. I will wear one without if I like it enough though.

    ^^ same. Usually 5-6 inch stilletos. I find them so much lighter than stripper heels and much, much more durable.

    I wear 4" stilettos without platforms. I'm 5'4 1/2, & the heels obviously make me 5'8 which is about the height men like when they think of "tall" because its the cut off for runway model height... it's like they've been programmed through media & advertising to think that heights around that are good. That is of course unless they are into shorter women. Anyhow, at that height I'm not towering above most of them, many appreciate the more elegant look, & the heels still keep my legs looking good.

    5'8 is the cut-off point for runway? Giselle Bundchen is 5'11, Claudia Schiffer is 5'11, Elle MacPherson is 6'0, Heidi Klum is 5'10...

    I think 5'8" is maybe the cut-off on the low end (meaning the shortest you can be and still runway model)?

    I wear 8 inches. I started with 6's, but slowly got higher and higher and I can't bring myself to wear lower ones now lol, 8 inch heels are the ultimate stripper look!

    I don't think 8 inch heels would impede your pole tricks too much so long as you buy ones that buckle around the ankle x

    I like 7’s. Lately I’ve been wearing 6 inchers, but only because all my other shoes are broken... : ( I used to wear 8 inch heels all the time, and loved being a big tall giant, but for some reason I switched to a smaller size, and now when I put on the 8’s I have no idea how to walk in them anymore. I constantly trip over myself and stumble around, lol. But yeah, my club doesn’t have a pole, so huge heels aren’t a problem.

    wooow i am 5'7 and even i think i am really short and could never work as a model. How people above 5'8 might be model lol. HIgh fashion run away models are not that short . Modelling agencies consider this height is short for a runaway model.

    Anyways i wear 6 INCH sometimes i tower myself with 7 .... when i wear 7 EVERYONE 'S heads turn down to me i love it i look like a model)))

    I always wear 8" and I prefer them for pole work. The extra few inches mean that you automatically start out higher on the pole, thus looking slightly more impressive. I also love the "ultimate stripper" thing.

    I wore 8" for a long time... they had no impact on my pole abilities... and actually BOTH of the best pole girls at my club are shorties who wear 8"s...


    These days I wear like 5.5"s though because it better suits the look I'm going for.

    This DOES make a lot of sense...I was thinking that they might be heavier though, and thus harder to manage...that said...what's 1"?!

    I'm 5 ' 4 1/2" (had to mention the half!) Is that a "shorty"?

    I have a pair of thigh high Taboo boots that make me 6' tall. I LOVE being that tall...changed my perspective entirely!

    I'd say so. My friends and I are all three right in the 4'11-5' range. lol. So it's funny because we all wear the tallest shoes in the club and we're still shorter than everyone else.

    My only (first) pair is 5" - I'm thinking of buying a pair of 5 1/2" though.

    The higher the heel the closer to god. I love 8 inch ones, they make your legs look long and body short which is a look that I think is hot. But they don't last as long as the shorter heels. The strap will take on more pressure and might snap if you are not 90 lbs. I keep having to buy them though because the straps break n shit, sucks!

    I reinforce my straps by sewing the buckle to the strap below the seam line. I wish I could post a pic to show you. It works great, and my 8 inch pleasers last forever because of it.

    This is correct. I am 5'8" and a bit, and I squeaked in when I was a model.

    When I was dancing I always preferred 8in. The height always helped when dudes didn't want to pay, and it made wearing gowns very flattering.

    5'8 is the minimum for being a runway model. If you're a photographic model it doesn't really matter how tall you are if you've "got the look". I was a runway model in my late teens/twenties - some of the best times of my life!
