    Default Is this shoe passable?


    Hi! Yesterday I went shopping for a proper pair of dance shoes. (I am starting on Monday, in Germany (where I presume most dacers are taller than me (?)) - I am 5'.
    (I have located two shops in Paris: (1)Barracuda at boulevard Rochechouart, close to the Anvers metro station near the Montmartre (2)a second one on the other side of the road, about a hundred (?) meters away, direction place Pigalle).
    The first shop I tried had a decent selection; but everything was hugely overpriced. For example, a pair shoes that costs $30 on snaz would be $150 there. The second one only had one basic design (platform, 6-7inch, 2inch platform) in black, red and white (not clear, however) for $90.
    So, I bought this pair instead. For $50. I have been wearing it all day long, much to the surprise of my flatmates, and it seems to be comfortable (I have not reached the 6 hours mark yet!).
    So, is this passable as "dancer shoe"?

    I think they're nice with a nice dress it will be very sexy and ellegent. But it really depends on your club and their shoe requirments.

    ^^^ I agree. Those would look very nice with a classy dress, but I think they just wouldn't look quite right with booty shorts and a halter top. It all depends on what you wear them with and what your club requires. I think they would be fine though.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    Default woot!

    Thank you for reassuring me!
    I very much prefer these and the relative risks

    [I have also got a pair of black shoes - higher heels, slightly higher "front part", black, nice sexy cut (by Helmut Lang - I had to fight to get them at a clearance sell for $70, they normally cost over $350 )]

    to paying through the nose for what is available here in Paris. I will just save the $100 for manicure - pedicure - brushing.

    Those are hot!!!!

    Whether they're acceptable will depend on your club. I would assume they would be ok, unless they have a height minimum.

    I agree that they're gorgeous but if you're dancing in them all the time, be careful not to snap the diamonte detail. They look very dainty.

    Those are seriously going to kill your feet. They have no support or platform at all.

    Shell out the money for a real stripper shoe. You will need the height, more that anything. Not only do stripper shoes do wonders for your figure (make your belly appear flatter, elongate your legs, make ur butt & calfs look amazing) but you NEED the height. You do not want to appear to stocky on stage and unless you are stick skinny, you will appear stocky. No matter how sexy your sexy your shoes are, regular shoes always look silly and very tacky onstage.

    Gorgeous but they wil KILL your feet over an extended period of time (like a week). It is so much easier and easier on your feet to wear heels around 6-7 inches with a platform. Also better for your back.

    Stripper shoes are made to be danced in. One piece molded sole, heels that won't flex, padding on the ball of foot, and ergonomically designed. Regular shoes aren't going to cut it. Go to snaz75.com for a good selection. Pleaser and Ellie are good brands.

    I think we all bought civvie heels when we started.

    When you get to Germany, there should be no shortage of fetish shops stocking dancer shoes for you to buy. Or, you could consider buying a pait or two online.

    To back everyone else up, they're passable but will hurt.

    Those are beautiful!

    But I'd be afraid of ruining them on stage!
