, showed up at the White House to promote vaccines sporting a giant pair of white platform heels that are Pleasers-adjacent in silhouette. And, in one of the less-unhinged outfits from the forthcomingthe streets of Manhattan in a pair of Celine Melody tri-buckle heels, which look like Pleasers, but with a more wearable heel—thick and stocky instead of thin and tapering to a dangerous point.

France, a dancer whose TikToks featuring her shoe collection rack up an impressive amount of views, told Jezebel that under no circumstances should Pleasers be worn on the streets, simply for safety issues. “Even in the club, if the floor has a chip in it or is lifted in a seam it’s so dangerous and I’ve seen so many girls fall and get injured,” she said. “I’ve definitely walked to my car on multiple occasions because I forgot something after changing and nearly busted my ass.

France also took issue with any attempted normalization of the shoes, telling me that in her mind, making Pleasers acceptable footwear for every day is not only dangerous, but possibly appropriative. “You cannot take from our community and try to make it something it’s not and disassociate it from us,” France said. “Pleasers and pole work are for exotic dancers. A few years ago, pole as an exercise was trending but many of those people were against sex work, but they took our art.

Concerns about appropriation in fashion are valid, but as Clemente points out, it is the “basis” of how trends develop. “To associate these shoes only with stripper culture denies a lot of their history, but the sort of the historical basis of the shoe,” she said.

To be clear: Leaving the house in a shoe meant specifically meant for the strip club is not an explicit invitation for unwanted or non-consensual sex. But there’s an insouciance to a big heel when paired with cutoffs and an oversized tee that gestures towards a new comfort with pushing boundaries.

Ankle surgeons will be thrilled.

U do know lap dancers can have lifelong physical and mental health issues.. In fact show the same level of trauma as women in prostitution

Only if I’m allowed to beat people to death with them instead of wearing them.

Step away, civvies. You can’t handle it.

Look I dislocated my subtalar joint by falling in a pair of regular heels. Not risking this.

No.
