    Default Toes in my pleasers

    Sorry if this thread has already been done... I searched a bit and couldn't seem to find anything on this though.

    I love my pleasers, love how tall I am with them, love how long they make my legs look. I keep on having this problem though, after about 20 wears, the plastic seems to stretch out and my toes stick out over the edge, and IMO, it looks ridiculous. I call it snaggletoe.

    Does this happen to anyone else here? Is it preventable? Should I buy a half size smaller?

    Welp.

    It happens to me too. However, I've noticed it tends to happen more with the clear, slicker (relatively speaking) plastic than the black, grippy plastic. There are slick black plastics and grippy clears, too, and of course every color in between. I don't know about the slick black plastic ones, but the grippy black plastic ones have always held up better in the tow department for me than any of the clear plastic ones I've gotten, grippy or otherwise.

    Something else I've noticed -- the grippy black plastic ones seem to be more grippy than the grippy clear plastic ones. Maybe it grips onto your skin better, so your foot doesn't slide down in them and stretch them out as much? In anycase, it still happens with them, too, but it's usually more gradual and over a longer period of time, so maybe I have more time to get used to it, so I don't notice it as much. With any of the clear top ones, though, grippy ones included, I can dance in them for maybe a couple weeks, maybe, and then yeah. My toes are out over the edge.

    Can you apply heat on them and remold them? If you blow dry them for a little bit and then put your foot in they should form to your foot.

    I found the patent material to be more slidey than the clear ones but some girls prefer them.

    Also maybe you could go up an inch and get a pair with a bigger platform so the slip of your foot isn't as drastic and it didn't put as much pressure your toes.

    Ankle straps might also be helpful.

    The patent ones will get damaged quickly if you do pole work. Also, I find them quite uncomfortable, they have a weird cut...
    What I do (from the beginning because my feet are very narrow) is, I put self-adhesive rubber on the insole right under the balls of my feet. Makes the show narrower plus helps with sliding.

    Well, thank God we can claim them as a business expense.

    I've got 3 pairs of 7-inchers with 3 inch platforms and ankle straps. Will try molding them to my feet with the hair dryer and adding some self-adhesive! Thanks ladies.

    Stick them in the freezer. It will make the plastic tighter.
