Do these run true to size?

Yes, the Flamingo-1020FS runs true to size. Pleaser does not carry half sizes. If between sizes, go up.

How does the platform affect the height?

The 4-inch platform takes most of the angle out of the 8-inch heel, reducing the effective lift to around 4 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 Flamingo-1020FS for the first time?

Wear the Flamingo-1020FS at home for 30 to 45 minutes before your first class or performance. Use the inner zip for easy entry and pull on a pair of thin socks for the first few wears to help the upper soften and reduce friction. Once the material relaxes, these hold up well for regular studio and stage use. Suitable for smooth indoor surfaces only.

Who is the Flamingo-1020FS best suited for?

Pole dancers, pole fitness students, exotic dancers and drag artists who want the security and coverage of a boot silhouette at stage height. The Flamingo-1020FS is also popular for stage performances, photoshoots and boudoir photography where a full-length boot adds to the visual.

Is the Flamingo-1020FS vegan, how do I care for it, and how long will it last?

Yes, the Flamingo-1020FS 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.
