    Default Why are my shoes falling apart?!

    I bought brand new 6 inch Pleasers, have worn them at work for about 2 full 5 hour shifts, and the rubber part on the bottom of the shoe is already coming off!

    It's only at the front, and I'm guessing it's because I drag my feet to do that "sexy walk" on stage... am I just being too rough with the shoes? Has anyone else had this problem?

    And... will super glue fix it? hehe. I reeeally don't want to buy a new pair!!

    Yes I think they made them cheaper. I have a bunch Bc I like the aesthetic but I notice with basic use that the part across your foot comes off from the base and also the little metal stabby thing to buckle them starts to go wild really quick, even with light wear.

    Yes, superglue will fix it. I always use a cutter to cut of the part of the sole that's too long like in this video: https://youtu.be/QMelY89H8EY

    Yes superglue. But before you do that check the return policy of where you purchased them. you should be able to exchange for another pair. I notice shoes start falling apart after 6+ months not the same day

    Yep, I'd suggest looking into the return policy as well.

    Thanks, everyone!! I will see if I can return/exchange them... and if not, I'll get cutting and gluing, haha.

    That's basically the best brand of stripper shoe, right? Ugh I wish they held up better. :\

    I bring mine to a shoe repair shop to have them fixed everytime it happens. Costs me like $15. I don't do pole tricks and I'm not rough with my shoes yet I've had to get everyone of my shoes fixed not long after bought them.

    I find occasionally you get a "lemon" pair but for the most part pleasers are good quality for the price- particularly for what we put them through.

    Bottoms coming off is pretty common because it's just glue- knock them the wrong way (even brand new) and it can cause them to pop off. Superglue or a cheap repair at a shoe place.

    As far as best heels, right here: http://heelsnthrills.com/

    They're handmade to your foot measurements and use better quality materials than pleaser. You can also get arch support and literal boot tread added to the bottom. However they are pricier and take a little bit of time to get to you, being custom made and shipping from Russia. I have one pair of them so far and they are awesome. They fit my feet so well that I could easily run in them if I had too lol.

    They don't make them like they used to. Use Gorilla Glue. It's awesome for shoes.

    Are you leaving them in the trunk of your car between shifts? August heat will make shoe glue come undone.

    my pleasers almost always have the same issues. the soles come undone in the front. And yes, I think it's because of the way you dance/drag your feet all sexy, because I dance the same way and it happens to me.

    Other problems i have is, every time on the first night with new shoes they get a ding on the left inside because of my floor splits that I do. And after a while my left one cracks open under the sole because i do splits on the pole.

    I realized it will happen and I just buy cheaper shoes so I can get new ones more often.

    I've fixed my pleasers successfully with e6000 glue I think it lasts much longer than super glue. Do you leave your shoes in your car? I know here it gets so hot in the car that it can mess with the glue and plastic.
