when I first started dancing, I wore 6 inch pleaser heels w/straps. let me tell you…the burnout alone from simply taking the heels on and off for every single VIP room had me DEPLETED. every time I would do a VIP I would get annoyed at having to bend down to take my heels off and the time it took to take them off and put them back on. maybe this sounds ridiculous but this is truly my experience. One day I observed this girl I worked with who would wear these exact 5 inch heels with no straps on them. On her stage sets, she never did pole tricks (I was doing a lot at the time) and she was always selling a bunch of VIPs. I honestly had never seen anyone wear that type of shoe before since most of the girls I worked with wore 8 inches. I would never wear anything over 6 inch because I am already tall and I didn’t want to tower over customers. anyway, I one day got the kitten heels she would wear and I truly noticed a MASSIVE difference in my money and energy. Wearing the 5 inches actually made my feet feel so much better and my knees. Like it was literally such a massive difference. I also stopped going crazy on stage and put more emphasis on floorwork. In all my rooms, I so easily slipped off the heels and slipped them back on. I’m just saying…the kitten heels are truly my holy grail and very rarely do I wear anything over 5 inches and rarely do I wear anything with straps anymore. for me, the kitten heels are a time saver, and help with my physical stamina. I know they’re seen as a baby stripper thing but honestly I see more vets than baby strippers wear these heels. I love them and that’s all I have to say 🖤
