Okay, ya'll are going to think I'm really some sort of paranoid shoe freak, and I probably am, but I want to be very thorough before I start dancing and want to have as few 'finding out the hard way's as I can lol so here's another shoe rant: The first outfit that I am going to make for my dancing wardrobe is going to look pretty similar to this: I'm not sure if I'm going to make silk bananas or have just strands of rhinestones and sparkles for the skirt, and I'll be sure to construct it in a way that'll make it very easy to get down to nothing but a rhinestone g-string lol. But bananas or not, I need a nice pair of sparkley heels to go with the threads. (I'm 5'10'' and not too into the 6 inches and up platforms) But here are my dilemmas... Now these in silver I think would perfectly fit the outfit that I'm going to create, but I'm wondering if dancing and being on my feet for hours would be harder in a shoe like that with such minimal strapping. A lot of the heels I wear now are pretty much like this: shoes that have more structure and more of an encasing around more of the foot, and what I've experienced with the few pairs of shoes that I have with less encasing(?) is that after a few hours of heavy activity in them and sweat, my feet want to slide way down. But the ones I have now that I experience that with are also a little lower than the ones in the first link and have more of a platform. Has anyone else ever danced in shoes as skimpily designed as those and was it bearable or should I not even attempt to consider those...?
Now these I think would be more ideal as in support (heavier, thicker, sturdier strapping and foot coverage) but I'm not too crazy about the aesthetic. And these I'm thinking might be the ones in the middle: (silver of course) They have more encasing around the toes and still have a support to the ankle, and don't look quite as dainty and delicate and difficult as my first choice. Or do they still look too delicate and therefor unbearable? I just don't want to impulse-buy the wrong thing just 'cause it's purdy.

But five inchers with a platform like these would be more comfy? I wish they came in silver.


Now at work when I know I'll be standing for hours I wear wedges, and when I know I'll be running around in heels for a while I use those clear jelly pad things for underneath the balls of your feet, although I never quite notice a difference with or without them. I didn't even think about the rhinestones snagging though...
