Pleaser Adore-708 Review: The Classic 7″ Pole Heel
The Adore-708 is the 7-inch clear-strap sandal most pole dancers own at some point. It has a 7″ stiletto on a 2.75″ platform, so your foot sits at a 4.25″ pitch, the same angle as a 6″ Delight. Pleaser shoppers rate it 4.9/5 across more than 470 reviews. Expect about $60 for clear/black and $74 for chrome colours in the US, or £74–76 in the UK. It fits close to true to size with a slight lean small, and the stiff clear front strap needs breaking in.

Pleaser Adore-708
Reviewers call it comfortable enough for hour-long classes and a staple to keep in your bag. The main complaint is the stiff clear strap across the top of the foot when new.
Sizing and fit
Pleaser’s reviewers rate the 708 just under true to size, and several narrow- and average-footed buyers went up one size. Some retailers simply advise sizing up. There are no half sizes, so if you are between sizes most dancers take the larger one and tighten the ankle strap. See our sizing guide.
Comfort and breaking in
The 4.25″ pitch makes it more manageable than the 7″ number suggests. The stiff clear front strap is the most common complaint: some buyers report rubbing until it softens. Wearing them at home with socks, gently warming the strap with a hairdryer, or dancing in fishnets usually helps. The 708PREM version uses a softer TPU upper sold as needing no break-in.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Pleaser Adore-708 true to size?
Mostly. Pleaser reviewers rate it just under true to size, and several narrow- and average-footed buyers went up a size. There are no half sizes, so most dancers between sizes take the larger one.
How high is the Adore-708 really?
The heel is 7″ on a 2.75″ platform, so your foot sits at a 4.25″ pitch, the same angle as a 6″ Delight. That is why it feels more manageable than the number suggests.
Is the Adore-708 good for beginners?
It is often a dancer’s first serious pole shoe, but complete beginners may prefer a 6″ Delight or Aspire to learn walks and spins first.
Do the Adore-708 clear straps hurt?
Some buyers find the clear front strap stiff at first. Wearing them in at home with socks, gentle hairdryer heat or fishnets usually helps.
What is the difference between the 708, 708G and 708LG?
They share the same 7″ heel and 2.75″ platform. The 708G adds glitter inserts in the platform and the 708LG uses holographic glitter. Glitter versions cost a little more.
How much does the Adore-708 cost?
In October 2026, about $60 for clear/black and $74 for chrome colours at Pleaser US, and about £74–76 at Pole Junkie in the UK.
