Once Upon a Heel: Your Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Wearing Pleasers With Confidence
Written in collaboration with our in-house pole expert, Jen ✨
Let’s set the scene.
You’re scrolling. You see them. Towering platforms. Glossy finishes. That unmistakable clack that says she knows exactly who she is.
Pleasers.
You love them… but you’re also slightly intimidated.
Are they only for pole dancers? Will you break an ankle? Do you need lessons, nerves of steel, or a complete personality upgrade?
Relax, heel girl. This is your official permission slip to step into Pleasers — whether you’re dancing, dressing up, or just flirting with the idea of feeling powerful in six (or more) inches.
A Cinderella Story (But Make It Hot)
Pleasers come in many forms, and each one has its own personality. Think of it like dating — you don’t marry the first heel you meet.
Classic styles include:
Clear or patent sandals (timeless, iconic, endlessly versatile)
Ankle boots (supportive, confidence-boosting, beginner-friendly)
Knee-highs and thigh-highs (fashion fantasy energy)
The secret? Choose the style that matches your vibe.
Soft and flirty. Bold and dominant. Playful and powerful. There’s a Pleaser for every mood and moment.
Your Standards Should Be as High as Your Heels
Let’s talk height, because inches do matter.
6-inch Pleasers: Perfect for beginners. Stable, wearable, and confidence-boosting.
7-inch Pleasers: The sweet spot. Once you try them, you’ll wonder why you ever hesitated.
8-inch+ Pleasers: Loved by pole dancers and performers. The larger platform adds drama, stability, and leg-lengthening magic.
Boots vs Sandals:
Boots = ankle support, ideal for beginners and pole dancers
Sandals = lighter, sexier, perfect for fashion wear and photos
The golden rule: your heels should make you want to strut, not survive.
The Big Clack (Yes, It’s a Thing)
That sound? That delicious, echoing clack when your heel hits the floor? That’s confidence announcing itself.
Walking in Pleasers is a skill, and everyone starts somewhere.
Tips for heel-walking like a pro:
Keep knees soft (locked knees = wobble city)
Shift weight slightly forward
Take smaller, controlled steps
Let your hips lead, don’t fight the shoe
Bonus: Wearing Pleasers engages your core, calves, and glutes, making them a mini workout while you turn heads.
Pole Dancing in Pleasers: Beginner-Friendly Tips
If you’re stepping into the pole world, Pleasers aren’t just stylish, they’re functional.
They help you:
Stick to the pole
Smooth transitions and floorwork
Protect your feet during slides
Create longer, cleaner lines
Dancing on the front tip of the platform creates beautiful, fluid movement, even if you’re just starting out.
Pleaser Sizing Guide
The right fit is everything.
Toes shouldn’t hang over
Heels shouldn’t slip out
Ankle straps or boots should feel secure
Some people size up depending on foot shape, as long as ankle support remains strong.
Pro tip: break them in at home with stocking socks before wearing them out.
Pleaser Care & Safety Tips
Pleasers are an investment, treat them with love.
Use the correct shoe covers
PVC covers for pole
Material covers for general wear
Match covers to your platform height, one size does not fit all
Never leave them in your car, heat melts glue and PVC
Repair loose soles or buckles before wearing again
Worn or damaged heels aren’t just sad, they’re unsafe.
Shaved or Not Shaved?
Unshaved soles: Best for pole or performance, glide effortlessly
Shaved soles: Clubs, dinner, or events, extra grip for security
Choose based on where you’ll be wearing them most.
Pleasers Aren’t Just for Dancers
Pleasers are for anyone. Style them with:
Cargo pants
Mini skirts
Oversized tees
Blazers
Festival looks
Lingerie or boudoir outfits
Pleasers are about confidence, not performance.
