    I started with 8 inches boots, because I knew I didn't want to buy another pair soon. I get used to them pretty quickly and I definitely recommend starting with 8". Mines are shiny and sticky, but when it comes to floorwork I always put socks on them, so it's not an issue. I really don't wanna ruin them, because they are freakishly expensieve. For beginners I recommend buying slighty used ones, because you can get them cheaper (but don't buy ones you don't like-they're your shoes, you gotta love them) ❤️

    thank you so much 🖤 i just got 8inch patent open-toe boots from club hella heels for my first pair… i was a bit worried because so many people seem to think beginners should stick to lower heel heights but i just loved the look of 8 inches so much i couldn’t resist. they’re soooo much easier to walk and dance in than i expected!!! did my first class in them yesterday and no wobbles, no falls. i’m so glad i trusted your advice to just go for it!! 🌹

    i recently got my first pair of heels. I have high arches, small feet (US womens size 6), and really WIDE feet.
    The heels I got are a closed boot, 7in, size 10, and let me say, with a ball of foot insole in those bad girls my feet don't slip forward at ALL. It's a really good shoe, and i went in-store to a specialty heel shop to try shoes on. I gotta say, when you have someone who pole dances themselves giving you advice on how the shoe should fit and feel (the person working there who was helping me try boots on), you end up with something perfect.

    I've just bought a pair of 6 inch boots and honestly I'm happy with my decision as a beginner haha. I know you've said 7 inches to start off but I have a pair of 8 and it's WAY too unstable, so I think 6 feels better for a true beginner ESPECIALLY if you are someone who never wears heels and has no dance experience.
    But I wouldn't buy more than one 6 inch pair.

    • @PoleCulture
      @PoleCulture  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yes. I would say 6 inch is SAFEST for beginners. Absolutely agree! I have 2 6-inch pairs because I particularly love them for floor work. Hah! Go figure

    this is so helpful! my first pair of pole shoe was a patent 8-inch boots, helps so much with tricks and climbing! feels so sturdy when doing dance moves too!!!! After 4 months of dancing, now I'm getting heels in 8 inch clear straps. Would say that the heels are definitely less stable when dancing but it think its essential to train your strength and ankle using heels!! one good thing about heels is that they are much lighter, so it might help with pole tricks! 5 months into pole dancing now I buying another pair of white open toes 8-inch patent boots pleaser!!!

    I bought my first pair of pleaser heels recently, and I have to say I never wear hight heels. I bought 2 pairs in my entire life and they were for special occasions so I only wore them like twice maybe, any they have an inch high heel probably. As I began my adventure with the more sensual side of pole dancing, I decided to buy my first pair of dancer heels. I got 7 inch closed faux leather boots. I usually wear size 6, 6.5 but I read the reviews and I sized up and got them in size 7, and they fit perfectly. I have no problems with my toes, they still give me alot of support. The only flaw with closed boots is the sweating, but its nothing a good wash can't solve 😁 thanks for the video 🤍🤍🤍

    This was a good starting point in my research but I wish there was anyone with pole dancing experience on TH-cam that was older and heavier. Even when I lost a ton of weight to where my thighs didn't touch anymore I had a body shape that can only be described as "female linebacker". As I've gotten older I've become more comfortable with my body and now that I'm about to hit 40 I finally have the confidence to try to learn this dance form

I have red Pleaser thigh high boots , and yes even in a short length of time , especially these types of boots , are quite warm wearing them , but I have always loved my boots , I still have my first pair that I ever baught that are black from the year 2000 !!!

    I am in between sizes 37,5 and had opportunity to try closed pleaser boots 37! And its perfect!! I was surprised cause I wear 38 in general. But what I realized is that when you dance ,or rollerblade ,or snowboard you want the shoe to be one with your foot ,fitting tight all around the foot.
    So I decided to buy my first closed boots ,but transparent pvc ones, what do you think about them?
    Please answer before I buy it😄❤️

    Patent, black, starting with size 7! I think I need to ease into the sizing. I don’t like high heels in general, I am more of a 6 inch is it for me and it has to be needed type girl so….I’m comfortable in 4-5 inch heels really. So, I think 7 inch is where I should start. I am 5’2 short thick legs and I think that will be good for me. We have a new wood floor at the studio so I went with patent. Loved the video! Thanks.

    As for the height, I think your feet size also matters. For pole dancers with smaller feet like size 5 and no heels experience, maybe it's not a bad idea to consider 6 inch or 7 inch for the first pair. Small feet = short insole = small bottom

    • @PoleCulture
      @PoleCulture  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For someone with bigger feet, the platform may be a bit bigger than that of a smaller size, but there is no advantage to that, because the platform size is relative to your own foot, non someone else's. 😄 Your math isn't right.

I have been leaning towards black finishes, however, as a beginner and after watching this video, I'd like to start with clear shoes for the scuffing and beating I know they will take. I practice at home on carpet, so I will get a patent finish (absolutely love the sexiness of the gloss look ^_^) and I'll get a faux material for when going to a studio. You've got my follow. I look forward to future videos and maybe even meeting you. Be well!

    Might I add it’s a lot easier to walk in thicker platform heals when you have long legs. As a personal tip. I have long legs and it’s harder to walk in smaller heals. 8in is a lot easier for me to walk in vs 6 or 7

    • @PoleCulture
      @PoleCulture  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      That’s interesting. I actually feel more stable and safe walking in the 6 inches. However I prefer dancing the 8 inches because of my ability to access parts of the heels better when I’m dancing and transitioning through movement on the pole 🤔

I literally mean it- puuuurfectlly!!! ❤️ I have a chubby feet with high arch, but my heel is small/narrow. I tried 7 size fully closed boots and feel a lot of space at the back-- however the front is tight enough that I don’t want to go one size down.

    Question, at 12:44 you mention your recommendation based on the fact that when you started, you noticed that other girls had heels that looked better. Besides the natural "I want to look cool like that" feeling that we all get when we try something new, is there a good reason for a beginner to go for the 8"??? Another way to put it, is there a good reason for someone getting a 7" as a starter? Does the 7" heals make it more beginner friendly?

    • @PoleCulture

      Daniel Marco an 8 inch heel is less stable than a 7.... as I say in the video, you can do 8 inches as a beginner, but then I’d recommend easing into it by using boots at 8 inches rather than a Sandle at first. This is because the boots provide a sense of stability that the sandals don’t. They wrap around your ankles and help you feel more locked in. There are no rules here, I’m simply encouraging girls to try 7 inches instead of 5 or 6, because you can get used to the height quickly and you’ll be glad you started at 7 instead of what everyone recommends (5 or 6inches). I know there’s a fear of height out there, but go for at least 7 inches to start. 8 inches for a beginner is ambitious but also doable.

      @@PoleCulture sure thing ! As with any high heels it’s best to wear them around the house first before you actually wear them outside the house ect or doing pole dancing . You don’t want to end up with a twisted ankle ect . Pleaser has some great heels . Some I wouldn’t recommend wearing outside due to a potential risk fall especially those with a 10 inch + heel ! Not just that you don’t want to draw unwanted attention . Heels can be fun to wear ! First & formost you want to make sure the pair your buying is going to fit you properly . That’s key to buying any shoe .here’s a tip if your buying on line .As we all know you can’t try them on it’s best to size up just to be on the safe side . Know your shoe size prior to buying . Pleaser does have a sizing chart . Sizes can vary . The best thing to do is go to a local store that Carry,s that brand & some may not carry the full line . But you could go & get fitted . That would give you a idea on what size to get . Some do fittings . Me I’m starting out with a 7 inch heel first . I know it’s a pretty darn tall one to start out with .

      I size up for boots these days (I'm in between a 6 and a 7 so it's a paint in my butt). I really enjoy my patent shoes. I have small and narrow feet and ankles. I have yet to se CLEAR shoes with clear straps!!! I prefer the aesthetic of the colored straps so I couldn't tell you much here as far as comparison goes.... hmm....
      My recommendation is to simply TRY your first patent pair :)
      You really don't know until you try these different shoes out to see what you like. I love the different finishes of the shoes for different dance styles.. for example... the patent heels will adhere to the pole and will make doing tricks on the pole easier... but they're a pain in the butt with certain floor types and you'll hate how stuck you get.... this is where I LOVE faux suede shoes!! Slide so much more.... but.... they stuck for pole climbing .... haha so it depends on your dance style that day, mood, clothes, etc..... get your first patent pair and try things out. I love my nude patent sandals and my white patent boots!!!

    So I have small but wide feet. I range between a 6 to a 6.5 in regular shoes, but I speculate that if my feet weren't wide I'd actually be more like a 5.5. I bought a 7 in the closed-toe pleaser boots and I can't tell if they are too big or not. My foot slides forward (I also have a high arch) and there is maybe a quarter inch gap behind my ankle. Is this normal? Should your boots feel snug or should there be some room? I'm afraid that as they stretch they will become too big, but I don't want to return them for a 6 just for the 6 to be too tight.

      I size up for boots but size down for sandals .... Really it depends the fit you also prefer... some people enjoy a very tight fit... I do not because I also have high arches and when my feet slide forward (like you), I do not enjoy my toes on the ground lol.....
      So always get both sizes and see what you like best... You won't know until you try both!
