An extra inch of fun
So far so good with this purchase. This is my first time wearing 8” heels, so I think there’ll be a bit of an adjustment period. I like how these feel a lot more secure when I’m walking around. I don’t feel like I’m sliding like I have with other shoes. I’m usually a 9.5 shoe size, so I decided to size down for a change. I think that was the right decision for this style. I also have wide feet and although I had to squeeze my feet into these initially, I think that the plastic will adjust a bit to my foot.... Show more

Clear Classic
The flamingo are brilliant if you know what you're in for. Sturdy, classic, with a stretch/hug to the upper vinyl, a good clacking sound, sticky top for climbing but the base is still good for sliding in floor work. The way they hold and reflect light is one of my favorite things about the clear. They really do give a certain magic that's different from any of the colors.These are my first 8" and my first sandals, and getting used to the lack of ankle support hasn't been too bad but I am glad I didn't start with sandals.My boots are also size 12 and these are size 10. Both fit me. Luckily I was able to try someone else's and realized I could size down. I know I wear sandals without socks and don't want wiggle room, but that's still a significant difference. It's ... MoreThe flamingo are brilliant if you know what you're in for.

Dancing
The integrity of the shoes remains intact through weekends of intense floor and pole work! The straps have never broken on these pair unlike some others ive owned. Luck or well made?Two qualms. The shoe bed should be a dark color, as the pad begins to get disgusting on lighter ones. And the other, is a flamingo model plastics problem. The toe space should be smaller so that my toes don't do inevitable cliff gripping overtime. Ew.... Show more

Glam alternative to nude
These are my first pair of 8 inch pole heels and I will definitely stick with this model. The rose gold has a similar line extending effect to a nude patent or plastic shoe but looks more glam and stage or photo ready, whereas actual nudes can look a little rubbery or sterile to me. I'm a true 7.5 in street shoes and I got a size 7, which is exactly the right fit -- no gaps or overlap. Only reason it's not a 5 star for me is that up close you can see the spray dots that make up this color, like red/pink over gold, and it's a bit crafty. I wish they were vinyl or lame.... Show more

If I could give more stars I would!
I love these! I was purchasing this style in a size too big for comfort. This time I went down a size. They initially are snug, but it took 2 classes to break them in . I love the black sole, bc my last flamingos were white on that part and got very dirty very quickly. I also love the black heel because they will match with anything and they make my legs look so long! They’re def not flashy, like the chrome colors, but they’re a good sturdy shoes to dance in! Buy them!... Show more

MUST HAVE
What can I say about these beauties in rose gold??? Ugh the color is so gorgeous and catches light in such a nice way. As someone who wears a regular shoe size 9.5US I sized down to a 9 for this sandal because I wanted the shoe to feel snug and tight. For pleaser sandals in general it is best to size down and then break them in because it will then feel like an extension of your foot. Highly recommend just for how cute they are. If you want them to last invest in some covers because the chrome paint chips verrryyy easily. Not durable but gorgeous... Show more

My first stilletos
These are great! I thought the plasticy strap would be uncomfortable but it wasn't. I've heard generally that you should size up with closed toe and remain the same size for open toe HOWEVER I sized up anyway and that was the right choice. I do have pretty wide toe area and these fit just right. I'm usually a size US9 and I always buy US10 from Pleaser.Side note: I bought my first stilletos in 8in after wearing 8in boots. Mistake! I should've gone with 7in as they privide much less ankle support. But that's no fault on the shoe itself, just something to keep in mind.... Show more

One star off because of quality
SIZING: I ordered both the Naughty-808 and Flamingo-808 in clear to compare the fit since the former is a wider width and I wasn’t sure which one would be better for my feet. I already have the Flamingo-808 in chrome/clear but always thought my feet are a bit squished in. I always wear a US9 or EU39 in open-toe shoes and a US10 or EU40 in closed-toe shoes. I ordered these in US9. The packaging says the Flamingo-808 US9 length is 26,2 cm and the Naughty-808 US9 is 25,4 cm, so by going wider you lose some length. You can see this in my pictures; my feet prefer the Flamingo length. I feel like if I went with a size bigger the shoes would be way too loose. Another thing I noticed was that the top part of the Naughty shoe is a bit different and bigger. My feet did not ...

Another thing I noticed was that the top part of the Naughty shoe is a bit different and bigger. My feet did not fill in completely which made the shoes feel loose on me. The Flamingos are a bit more snug but I actually prefer that to feel secure in them. I attached two pictures you can see my feet in the shoes; one is in the morning and another at night when my feet are more swollen. In conclusion I’d go with the Flamingos based on the sizing.STYLE: I kinda like more the look of the Naughty but the Flamingos definitely have more personality to them. Both look like Cinderella shoes.QUALITY: So I actually ended up returning both shoes because they BOTH had scratches and other marks on them. This my 2nd order with sandals that were defective. I contacted Pleaser customer service but they didn’t recognize them as defective. I didn’t even get a full refund for this reason. I had to choose between credit (full refund) or money ($7 deducted per item because of returning). So keep this in mind. I have learned that it’s basically a standard for the shoes to have marks and scratches on them, and you will NOT be compensated or getting your money back (fully), sadly. At this point they should just start lowering their prices. This is the response I always get back from the Pleaser customer service when making a complaint: “This automated notice is to inform you that we have reviewed your defect inquiry, and we have found that it is not eligible for a refund, credit or replacement. This means we have determined that the issue you experienced with your product were not caused by a manufacturing issue. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.”... Show more

Simply gorgeous and easy to walk in!
FIT: This is my 2nd pair of Pleasers. My 1st was the Sky-1020, but I very quickly realized that 7 inches heels are too easy for me, so I wanted to upgrade to 8 inches. Also I really wanted sandals to improve my ankle strength. My boots are in the size US10/EU40 but the sandals I got in US9/EU39 which is just perfect! I have tried boots also in the size 9 but my toes don’t have any wiggle room in them. At first when I was ordering the sandals I was a bit nervous about the style because I wasn’t sure if my feet are considered wide or not, and usually with sneakers I need a bigger size and/or wide fit. Pleaser has their wide fit collection so I was looking at those shoes too. Nevertheless, I went with this style and the width is just perfect!!! I don’t have to squeeze ...

I don’t have to squeeze my feet in and there’s still some room left for my toes/ankle.MATERIAL: The edges of the straps are really tough and harsh on the skin so I tried to blowdry them while wearing socks and shoes. They got a little softer but we’ll see how they wear in use.INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING: My first package came in 4 weeks while this time it only took 2 weeks and 5 days. I live in Finland. I wish they had a free shipping (instead of 20,95 €) at least when you order over a certain amount.Ps. Compared to last time when I ordered the boots, this time the sandals came with a free shoe bag!!... Show more
