Do these run true to size?
These run slightly small. Size up one full size. Bordello does not carry half sizes , if between sizes, go up.
How does the heel height affect the wearability of this style?
The 1.75-inch platform raises the forefoot, reducing the effective angle on the foot to 4 inches. This makes the 5.75-inch heel significantly more manageable than a single-sole stiletto of the same height. The platform sole distributes weight more evenly, adding stability for extended performance wear.
Who is this style designed for?
Burlesque performers, exotic dancers and vintage glamour enthusiasts who want a high-platform court pump for stage performances, cabaret shows and events. The Teeze-06 is a core Bordello style popular across burlesque stages, exotic dance performances and vintage-inspired events where a bold platform pump anchors the look.
What should I know before wearing the Teeze 06 for the first time?
Walk at home for 20 to 30 minutes before the first performance to find your balance on the platform height. The upper softens and the fit settles with the first few wears, making it increasingly comfortable for extended stage and event use.
Is this style vegan and how do I care for it?
This style is fully vegan. Wipe clean with a damp cloth after each use and store in a cool dry place between performances. With regular care the construction holds up well for regular stage and event use.
What do customers say about this style?
Customers consistently highlight the theatrical glamour and the quality construction as the main positives. The platform height and the Bordello aesthetic are frequently praised for burlesque and stage performances. Most find the sizing accurate when correctly sized and the style a strong choice for performances and events.
How much break-in is needed?
These require minimal break-in due to the platform construction, which keeps the foot in a comfortable position. Walk at home for 20 to 30 minutes before the first performance to find your balance at this height. Wearing them with socks during the first few uses can help soften the material and reduce friction, especially for tighter styles.
How does the Teeze-06 compare to the rhinestone styles in the Bordello range?
The Teeze-06 is the foundation of the Teeze range , a clean platform court pump without embellishment. The Teeze-06R adds full rhinestone coverage at a higher price point, while the Teeze-31G offers a glitter texture finish.
