Do these run true to size?
Yes, these run true to 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, drag queens and vintage glamour enthusiasts who want rhinestone detailing on a high-platform pump for stage performances and events. The Teeze-06R is popular for burlesque shows, cabaret performances and drag events where a rhinestone-encrusted statement pump adds theatrical glamour to the stage look.
What should I know before wearing the Teeze 06R for the first time?
Walk at home for 20 to 30 minutes before the first performance to find your balance and let the platform settle. The rhinestone detailing is designed for performance wear , handle with care and store in the dust bag to protect the stones between uses.
Is this style vegan and how do I care for it?
This style is fully vegan. Store in a dust bag between uses to protect the rhinestone detailing. Wipe the upper clean with a dry cloth and handle gently to minimise stone loss over time. With proper care and storage the rhinestone construction holds up well for regular performance and stage use.
What do customers say about this style?
Customers consistently highlight the rhinestone detailing and the theatrical glamour as the main positives. The platform height and the sparkle under stage lighting are frequently praised. Most find the sizing accurate when correctly sized and the style a standout for burlesque and drag performances.
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-06R compare to the Teeze-06?
The Teeze-06R adds full rhinestone coverage to the classic Teeze-06 court pump silhouette. The base Teeze-06 offers the same platform height in a clean, non-embellished finish at a lower price point. Choose the Teeze-06R for maximum stage sparkle and the Teeze-06 for a versatile everyday performance pump.
