Pleaser shoes and boots are the most purchased platform shoes for pole dancers. One of the most frequently asked questions by pole dancers is “can you wear socks with Pleasers?”
The quick answer is yes, you can wear socks with Pleaser if you want to. Pleaser shoes are often worn without socks to show off the foot and shoe designs, wearing socks with them is a matter of personal preference and comfort. Many dancers wear either thin or thick socks with Pleaser boots, again it is a matter of personal preference whether you do.
Socks And Pleaser Boots
This is the way that most dancers wear pleasers and socks. Many size up in Pleaser boots and wear socks for added comfort and prevent any blisters or irritation. Depending on how big the boots are on you, you may choose to wear thicker socks which can be very beneficial in the cooler months.
How To Wear Socks With Pleaser Boots
To wear socks under your pleasers, simply slip a pair of socks on and insert your foot into the boot. There are however a few different ways you can style your socks and Pleaser boots depending on the look you want to achieve. Here are a few ways you might want to wear your socks under your boots:
Layered socks: One popular way to wear socks with boots is to layer them. This involves wearing a pair of sheer or fishnet socks underneath a thicker, more opaque pair. This adds texture and depth to your outfit and can be a great way to show off the details of your boots. This look works particularly well with lace-up or buckled Pleaser boots.
Knee-high socks: Knee-high socks and pleaser boots is a superb look. It can help keep you warm in the winter months. It’s also a great way to add some color or pattern to your outfit. I think it looks super sexy! Likewise thigh high socks under pleaser boots are a great look.
No-show socks: this is probably the most common way to wear socks under PLeaser boots. Simply wear a pair of ankle socks that don’t show above the top of your boots or roll your socks down over the top of your boots to keep the laces under wraps.
Socks And Pleaser Sandals
This is a hotly debated topic, just like socks and sandals. Sometimes it’s in fashion and other times it’s a total no-no.
If you have cold feet, then wear socks and pleaser sandals. Probably best to not care what anyone thinks, especially when not in fashion.
If it’s warm and if this fashion “Faux Pas” Is winning over the style crowd then wear those socks and sandals with pride! Personally, I’m not a socks and sandals kinda girl. I don’t follow fashion and if it’s cold I’ll wear my boots, socks, and leggings to dance in.
How To Wear Socks With Pleasers Shoes
If you decide to wear socks with your Pleaser shoes, it’s best to choose socks that are thin and not too bulky, so they don’t bunch up or make the shoes feel tight. You may also want to experiment with different sock lengths to find the look that you prefer.
Using Socks to Protect Your Pleasers
In the days before shoe protectors, many would use socks or leg warmers to cover their pretty Pleasers up to protect them from scratches, scrapes, and peeling plastic, It’s not something you see very often these days as platform shoe protectors are very easily purchased online.
In fact, you may even get weird disapproving look’s from some pole instructors. I’m am quite old school and frequently wear socks and leg warmers over beautiful new pleasers and was given the weirdness of looks by my pole instructor. I’m not sure she approved but I had no issues with the way it looked.
How To Wear Socks Over Pleasers
If you want to save yourself a few bucks or are waiting for platform protectors to arrive simply pull your sock over the platform and toe box of your Pleaser. Pull the sock over so that all the spare material has been pulled up from the sole of the shoe. Wrap the sock all over the toe box of the shoe. You can fasten it in place with a hair band if required.
Problems With Wearing Socks over Pole Shoes
As your socks are covering the sole of the platform you will tend to get holes appearing in the material, you may need to swap the socks regularly. The only downside to the technique is that you tend to waste quite a few pairs of socks. So long-term proper protectors can be a cost-saving investment.
It’s also worth noting that the socks can make the soles of your shoes slippery. So best to take care when moving around so that you don’t fall over.
