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) ❤️

Awesome job! I'm a 52 year old widow &I just got my pole! I have a collection of shoes, not as high, I'm good with it. I'm excited! I'm going to use this as my 💔❤️‍🩹 heart healing, emotional health & physical body exercise & therapy. I can't think of a better way. I have everything I need at my home. Now just to utilize it ❤❤❤. Learning how to find JOY Living & LOVING Life Again.🙏🏼❤️‍🩹❤️🥰

THANKS! My first pair of pleasers just arrived, originally I was going to choose a 6 inch sandal but after watching this video I changed it for the 8 inch shinny boot and I don't regret anything, thank you so much 💜

[LiminalSwan]

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’m a newbie so this was very helpful. I’m eyeballing the 7 inch basic black to start. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

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.

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!!!

Youtube needs more than just a like button! This video is awesome. Helps me appreciate how much goes into accessories!

Bought my first set of pleasers last week and I’m obsessed with them. They were 50% off. $45 can’t get me a new pair of vans so they were mine. This video was very helpful!

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 🤍🤍🤍

I literally out of the blue got myself those nude pleaser ones as my first shoes and I am now so happy that this was randomly the perfect desicion haha!! I’m so lucky... I will definitely use your channel to start off my pole journey 😍🥰💪🏻

[maggieonsecurity]

Ordered my first set of Pleasers because of this video. I went with 7 inch since I am used to wearing 5 inch for my regular shoes. I just wanted to highlight that I did not have the confidence to purchase these shoes without you! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 This video helped me make my selections and now I have 3 beautiful shoes to dance in that fit AMAZINGLY because of YOU! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

[Backinblackbunny]

This was a good starting point in my research but I wish there was anyone with pole dancing experience on YouTube 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

Brand new baby dancer here, I think I'll go for the 8 inch patent boots with a 8 inch patent sandal with red snake print 💜

[tosinnlobin]

I’ve been pole dancing for almost 5 years, mainly pole sports. I’ve had fewer than 15 exotic classes in that time span, but I finally decided to do an intensive 3-month exotic class because I really wanna get better at it! I started with 8 inch faux suede boots but I’ve barely used them, mainly because I’ve felt they were too high for me. I then got 7 inch faux leather boots and I’m just so much more comfortable dancing with them. I don’t like how sweaty they make my feet, so I’m considering getting patent open-toed boots or patent sandals. This video has been so helpful, so I’m ALMOST sure what heel I want to get now!

[blonderebel]

I wear 8 and a half, for me in sandals I go to an 8 since they don't feel as loose on my foot and the strap is a must for me, for boots I go to a size 9 and my feet feel so much more comfortable going up in size . 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 !!!

[FidoughFaunus]

I went to try on some shoes at my pole studio. With a 6.5-7 street shoe size, I had to size all the way up to an 8 in Pleaser heels! They weren’t kidding that they run a bit small. Def try them on.

[patriziabenedicto]

This was so helpful for me. I'm a size 6 1/2 with high arches, and my feet and ankles are also very skinny. Thank you so much!!

[arashi]

Bought my first pair of heels at 6" cause I thought it'd be a good entry for heels (being a guy never worn heels). I just got my second pair for christmas which at 8" and my old heels look like a joke / so short!!! You were so right about the height!
