Pleaser Delight-609 Review: A 6″ Beginner Pole Heel
The Delight-609 is a 6-inch ankle-strap sandal with a peep-toe upper in the same colour as the shoe, rather than a clear strap. The 6″ stiletto sits on a 1.75″ platform for a 4.25″ pitch. Pleaser shoppers rate it 4.9/5, and many like that there is no stiff plastic across the top of the foot. It costs about $60 in plain patent colours ($72–74 for chrome and glitter) or around £66 in the UK. It fits close to true to size and suits beginners.

Buy the Delight-609
Pleaser Delight-609
Reviewers describe it as stable and very comfortable, and some prefer it because there is no plastic digging into the top of the foot. Glitter versions can feel stiff at first.
Sizing and fit
Pleaser reviewers rate the 609 almost exactly true to size. Reports go both ways: a few wide-footed buyers sized down and a few others went up, so check the size chart. Only whole sizes are made. See our sizing guide and wide feet guide.
Comfort and stability
The lower 1.75″ platform feels grounded for walks, turns and choreography, and reviewers often call it stable despite the 6″ height. Because the upper is coloured patent or faux leather rather than clear PVC, there is no stiff plastic band across the foot, which many find gentler. Glitter (609G) versions can feel firm when new; gentle warming or wearing them at home helps.
Delight-609 vs Delight-608
Both are 6″ heels on a 1.75″ platform. The 608 has clear straps that show the foot and suit any outfit; the 609 has a coloured peep-toe upper. In Pleaser’s numbering a last digit of 8 means clear straps and 9 means coloured. Prices are similar, about $58–60 for plain colours.

| Aspire-609 | 6″ / 2.25″ | 3.75″ | You want a gentler pitch and wider fit |
