    Default What shoes should I choose?

    Hi ladies,

    I am contemplating to start dancing. I was wondering if you ladies could help me out with picking shoes. By searching the forum I found out Pleaser shoes are considered comfortable. My question is: which heel height is more comfortable for dancing, 5 inch or 6 inch? Because judging by the pictures the platform on 5 inch shoes looks lower even relative to the heel height, compared to 6 inch shoes. Don't know if that's true though. What works best in your experience?
    Thanks!

    That's really a matter of personal preference. I'm quite tall, so I tend go for shorter heels, generally 5.5-5.75 inches, so I still get the benefits of the heels but don't tower over everyone THAT much. Try on both pairs and see which one is more comfortable for you, but I don't think the difference between 5 and 6inches is that great.

    Yep, I'd say just try it if you can - personally I have never really felt much difference between 5 and 6 and 7 inches. Maybe that's just a personal thing... Sure they take some getting used to, but comfort wise - all the same to me.

    Whatever shoes you wear, after a 9pm-5am shift on your feet, you're going to ache... To me, there's no correlation between height and 'amount of ache'...

    As a rule of thumb, I take my shoes like my cocks, nothing under 7"

    I just purchased some Pleaser 6" heels like yesterday. Your shoes will stretch out over time, so anything with an ankle strap (I've found) works really well because you can adjust them tighter if you feel your foot beginning to slip. It's just some extra security since it's crazy enough being in those shoes for hours on end.

    If you don't prefer the ankle straps, try shorter inch heels. Or even boots (more expensive though).

    ^^^ I second the ankle straps. I've been dancing for three years and I still can't dance in the slip-on shoes.

    I don't think there's a huge difference between the 5 and 6 inch ones, but 6 is generally the standard size. I've always work 6 inchers and they're pretty comfy

    I tend to prefer clear 7" -7.5" w/ straps. That way your foot is at less of an angle, but your not struggling to balance either. Plus clear matches everything

    Five or six doesn't seem like much of a difference, in terms of comfort. Whatever you pick, just wear them around the house a bit first to get used to them and make sure they're secure enough around the ankles and that the sole of the shoe is firmly attached to the platform. Some cheaper shoes appear to be glued together by kindergarteners, and they will not hold up, which I learned the hard way. Beyond that, I think the higher the heel, the sexier it is.

    Also, if you need to stretch the plastic at all alittle bit you can use a hair dryer. Or if you wanna shrink or tighten the plastic at all you can put em in the freezer. Pretty handy lil tricks sometimes.

    Thanks ladies for your helpful answers! Unfortunately there is no store nearby where I could try the shoes on, I'd have to order online...But I'm glad to hear 6" heels aren't less comfy than 5"...think I'll try clear 6" pleasers with straps Fingers crossed!

    ^^^ They should be good. Pleasers are pretty nice.
