    Default Why Spike over Chunk??

    I have heard time and time again that girls on here like spiked or steleto style heels on their platforms rather than thick or chunky heels.

    I wobble in my steleto platforms and fear a sprained ankle. I always wear chunky but I haven't been dancing long.

    What do you prefer and why?

    its generally consitered sexier to wear spikes, it makes your legs look longer and less clunky. thats why I wear them.

    if you only feel comfortable in chunky then wear chunky. if you want to get down to a spike then just work your way down to one.

    also some clubs require that the bottom of the heel be smaller then a quarter.

    The spikier heels are just sexier. It takes time to get comfortable in them, but they do look better. Most new dancers are a dead giveaway because of their shoes, no matter what they look or dance like.

    Like ami said, if you want to work into the spikes, gradually work into them. Buy a slightly thinner heel next time you get shoes. You may be a little uncomfortable in them, but if you stick with it you'll get used to them. Then just keep getting smaller until you can wear the spikes.

    The majority of my heels are spiked/stiletto, for basically the same reason the other girls stated. They really do flatter your thighs, and calves. I do have platforms with chunky heels though, but I very rarely wear them. The stilettos are just much more sexier to me.

    As a paying customer, I would rather have a dancer who was not in a bad mood because her feet hurt. I can not recall any dancer who was so ugly I looked at her feet more than in passing.

    Yeah like the other girls stated they really do make your legs not to mention butt look grea. I wear platforms with spikes and anything eles would feel so forgien to me. When I first started out I could only wear five inch heels and they were not spiked. Now I wear eight inch platforms with spikes. I never did think about the new girls always wearing chunky heels now that I think about it all the new girls DO where chunky short heels. Takes alot of practice to get used to.

    Cones....spiked heels with the very bottom of the heel round and conical. Same effect, more stability!! They have them at Snaz...

    We wear spikes because they make better weapons. It's hard to hurt someone when you kick them with a fat chunky heel .

    I've seen the cones, they do look good. I think I have a cone-ish type of heel on one pair of tall black shoes.

    Do any of you guys have those beaded heels. They look like a bunch of balls stuck together forming the heel. The shoe companies advertise them like they are the "the newest awesome trend". I don't think they look that great.

    I have never even dared to try those metal or wood shoes in crazy shapes. They look like torture weapons!!

    I've been dancing for two years and I still wear shoes with a chunky heel. I agree that the spiked heels look much sexier, but I work anywhere from a 10 to 12 hour shift, and the chunky heel shoes don't hurt your feet so bad at the end of the night. Plus they are much easier to dance in.

    Those beaded heels can double as anal beads if you have a customer particularly into foot and ass fetishes, hehehehehehe!!! And I'm NOT talking about the dancer putting the beads into her own butt, hahahaha!

    Really? Like where? :o

    "Most new dancers are a dead giveaway because of their shoes, no matter what they look or dance like." LOL...so true!

    I've been able to walk in heels since I was in pre-school, so the higher the heel the better. I think my spikes give me longer,leaner look. The few girls I've seen that I feel could pull off the chunky heels and still look sexy were quite petite. Maybe the chunky heels gave them a bit more good "heft".

    I prefer spike because it's more flattering to the leg and ankle your whole frame just looks better. Some customers prefer them also. Some like to have them grinded into there thigh or they like you to walk on there back with them. I had an ex fiance who liked me to grind them into his chest and dick. He loved it. Funny shit.
