Do these run true to size?
Yes, the Beyond-008 runs true to size. Pleaser does not carry half sizes. If between sizes, go up.
How does the platform affect the height?
The 6.25-inch platform takes most of the angle out of the 10-inch heel, reducing the effective lift to around 3.75 inches. This makes the height far more manageable than a stiletto of the same measurement. The platform carries the majority of the work, so most customers at this height are comfortable once they build confidence at the elevation.
What should I know before wearing the Beyond-008 for the first time?
Walk around at home for 30 minutes before your first class or performance. The platform sole keeps the foot in a stable position from the first wear. Wearing them with socks during the first few uses can help soften the material and reduce friction. Build up to longer sessions gradually and stick to smooth indoor surfaces.
Who is the Beyond-008 best suited for?
Pole dancers, pole fitness students, exotic dancers and drag artists who perform or train at height. The Beyond-008 is the standard sandal format for pole dance and stage performance, worn at studios, on stage and at exotic dance venues where maximum height and foot visibility are the priority.
Is the Beyond-008 vegan, how do I care for it, and how long will it last?
Yes, the Beyond-008 is fully vegan and made without any animal-derived materials. Wipe with a damp cloth after each session and store in the original box between wears. Keep on smooth indoor surfaces for best longevity. These hold up well with regular care.
