      Perhaps the ‘squatting down’ she did might give her a clue. And having a ‘riding crop’, too, would help put some emphasis on the situation. Not that I’ve done any of that personally. I just have a very good imagination. 😂😂

    @StitchGV 2 месяца назад +76

    Big platform shoes curve up slightly at the front to make it easier to walk in, and more natural-feeling. It’s meant to mimic how a normal shoe bends with your foot. Platforms can’t bend like a sneaker does, so if was completely flat, then you’d be rolling forward on a 90-degree edge, your knee would be popping, and it would feel very unnatural and janky. You’d probably also look weird walking too.

  • @montrealderogatory
    @montrealderogatory 2 месяца назад +14

    So the nice thing with pleasers is that they are *designed* to walk around and dance in, whether they have a heel or not. They are built to be incredibly supportive of the arch and the ankle and are weighted and firm to keep you stable. the bottom sole being curved is actually part of that design, because it helps you walk in a natural gate instead of having to pick your feet up in a weird way, it makes you far less likely to trip.

    i'm a size 9 - omg, i totally would wear those if you don't want them. I actually love heelless heels. It helps to have them tighter than you'd think, like roller skates or ice skates. The little bit of rounding on the toe is to help as you walk.

  • @marinapastorino
    @marinapastorino 2 месяца назад +19

    So, first heeled pole class with pleasers you learn: walk on your tippy toes in S figures (as in, you draw an S with the point of the platform going inwards and then put the rest of the platform on the ground when you’re en deors) and ALWAYS walk on flat hard surfaces, if you go on a carpet you go down (since they are so big the advantage is that you fall before breaking ankles)

  • @vcutler4735
    @vcutler4735 2 месяца назад +13

    They do make practical heel less high heels actually! I have ran around most of the day in them in cosplay. If you want more practical ones look for the ones that have a little flat bit sticking out behind the toe back under the foot. It is part of a c shaped steel rod so they are like wearing chunky platform wedges.

I'm an 8.5 / 9 and pink is my favourite colour so I can promise they'd be loved, lol. Of you don't give them away though you should absolutely do some errand or just go for a walk in them post baby. Also the laces are so short because they're meant to be laced really tight, an almost immobile ankle gives more support on that style of platform heel usually (plus needing to be sure they can't be stepped on ever)!

  • @aliceroux7616
    @aliceroux7616 2 месяца назад +2

    pleasers work best when you get the laces pretty tight and then point your toes and roll into the "cut"(the top of the toe box) of the shoe to make a good line. You should be able to see the arch of your foot as you point your toes- sounds bizarre I know but it works well for dancing

    These look so good on you! And they definitely seem easier to walk in than pointe shoes. Especially if you have the muscle built up already to safely wear pointe shoes, since youre not so far forward and you're already used to moving around without putting weight onto your heel.
    Doesn't matter what these would normally be bought for, they can also be bought just for fun and definitely to use in photoshoots! 😊 No need to get rid of them! Loved the assessment at the end, too. 😂
