What is the heel height and platform height
This is the brief explanation of what heel height and platform height are. If you would like to read the full explanation of all specifications, you can find it on the following page:

Heel height and platform height:
The heel height and platform height are the most important factors for many people when shopping for heels. When it comes to pole dancing/exotic dance/pole fitness on heels, we more often talk about the height in inches than the height in cm.
For your convenience, we mention the height in inches as well as in cm, so you don't have to convert this yourself :)
How we measure them:
Heel height (abbreviated "HH") |
Platform height (abbreviated "PF") |
|
The heel height is measured by Pleaser from where the heel touches the ground in a straight line upwards to where the heel touches the sole; as shown in the image below |
The platform height is measured from the bottom of the sole where it touches the ground to the top of the platform -> the height where your foot is standing on; as shown in the image below
|
What is the 'walking height'
This is the brief explanation of what the walking height of a shoe is. If you would like to read the full explanation of all specifications, you can find it on the next page:

Tip: You can click on the images to enlarge them.
Walking height:
The walking height is the 'real' heel height you walk on. We calculate this with the next 'formula':
Heel height - Platform height = Walking height
- For heels without a platform, the heel height is the same as the walking height because nothing is subtracted from the heel height
- For heels with a platform, the 'real' heel height you walk on is less than the total heel height because your foot rests on a platform. That means the sole of the shoe has literally been raised and your foot is standing higher. You can therefore subtract the platform height from the heel height to calculate the walking height.
The following image shows an example:
What is the heel distance
This is the brief explanation of what the heel distance is. If you would like to read the full explanation of all specifications, you can find it on the following page:

Heel distance
Read the explanation about the angle of inclination for more information about this
So: the shorter the heel distance, the higher the heel of the shoe feels/the steeper the shoe will bee.
Measuring the heel distance is actually best applied when you compare two different shoes in the same size and with the same walking/heel height.
So don't compare apples and oranges by comparing a size 36 with a size 40; a size 40 has a different heel distance than the same shoe in size 36 because a foot size 40 is bigger/longer, and the heel will therefore also be at a different distance/height than with size 36.
When comparing shoes, it is best to see whether the heel distance is the same or whether there is a difference. When using heel distance in an equation, the most important thing to keep in mind is the following rule::
- The shorter the heel distance, the higher/steeper the heel of the shoe feels
It can sometimes be difficult to know where to measure this distance exactly. In this more detailed explanation of the heel distance we provide more information about how and where you can measure this. |
|
The following image shows an example of the influence of the heel distance.
|
 |
Below is an example of two shoes without a platform sole, both of which have a heel height of 12.7 cm: |
|
|
| The right shoe is steeper than the left shoe because the heel distance of the right shoe is smaller. |
Summary:
If the heel distance is smaller, the slope is steeper and the angle of inclination is sharper. The heel of shoes with a smaller heel distance will therefore also feel higher.
What is the angle of inclination
This is the brief explanation of what the slope angle of a shoe is. If you would like to read the full explanation of all specifications, you can find it on the next page:
Specifications explanation
Tip: You can click on the images to enlarge them.
The angle of inclination:
- The heel height, platform height, walking height and heel distance influence how steep the slope of the insole is, and therefore also influences the angle of inclination.
- For shoes without heels, there is no angle of inclination* because your foot is laying flat in the shoes
(*unless the front of the shoe moves upwards, in which case you actually create an angle just like with a heel, but upwards)
|
The higher the walking height/heel height and the shorter the heel distance, the sharper the angle that your foot makes will be. An acute angle has a smaller º-number than an obtuse angle or straight angle (see the image below) The heels we sell never have an inclination angle of less than 90º because the heel will then have to be placed diagonally, and we do not sell those types of shoes |
 |
The angle of inclination can be calculated by measuring from:Point 1) where the slope of the insole goes in a straight line to point 2) the transition from the slope to the flat part of the insole, and from point 2) to point 3) the front of the flat part of the insole Calculating the exact angle of inclination could be a bit more complicated to do at home, but by looking at how steep a slope is and how sharp the angle is at point 2) you can fairly well estimate how steep a shoe will be (best to compare it to another shoe). |
 |
|
In the image above, we have shown how the angle of inclination can be calculated, if you draw a line for the slope of the sole and for the flat part of the sole, for two different pumps with the same heel height, and for an ankle boot with a platform |
Let customers speak for us
Prachtige schoenen! De rode kleur is precies zoals in de advertentiefoto’s en zitten als gegoten! Ook de mooie discrete verpakking en service van KS was helemaal super! Ik ben heel blij met mijn aankoop
Pakket was mooi ingepakt zodat het bijna voelde of ik een vervroegd kerstcadeau kreeg en kwamen een stuk sneller dan verwacht! Schoenen zijn helemaal top en super blij mee!
Alles is prima verlopen goede communicatie en vlotte kevering.De laarzen zijn TOP ! Héél comfortabel. Thanks.
Ze snijden niet in mijn tenen en zaten eigenlijk meteen als gegoten.
Daarnaast vind ik ze in het echt nog mooier dan op de foto.
Ben er superblij mee!
I purchased the Pleaser Delight 3028 Patent Thigh High boots (6 inch heel) some days ago and they are just as I expected, very high quality and look great. Delivery was also prompt and customer service was excellent! I highly recommend!
Al 1 week na de bestelling werd dit paar mooie boots geleverd terwijl ze uit de USA moesten komen. Zoals gewoonlijk een erg goede service van Chiara van Kinky-Shoes.nl
Zoals (in mijn ervaringen) altijd, opnieuw een goede schoen van Pleaser. Dat was niks nieuws voor mij. Wat wel nieuw is, is de ervaring met Kinky Shoes. En daarvan kan ik alleen maar zeggen dat dat een heel goede ervaring is. Snelle verwerking van de bestelling en goede feedback over de voortgang ervan. Deze winkel staat nu onder mijn favorieten opgeslagen.
Comfy and super cool! Didn’t have to break them in much, fits very comfortable, and look very flattering, the right length to accommodate knee pads also. Fast delivery as well!
KS was voor vragen zeer goed bereikbaar en de bestelling was vlot voltooid! De laars is fantastisch, veel grip op de paal maar glijd op de (laminaat) vloer… waar andere laarzen blijven plakken op de vloer. Precies wat je nodig hebt, super voor flows! Maat valt precies goed.
Mooie soepele laars, met een brede hak. Ideaal voor een sessie buiten in een bos.
Ik ben zeer goed en snel geholpen door de klantenservice om de juiste maat te vinden waarbij er echt werd meegedacht. Bestelking, bezorging en product was perfect en niks op aan te merken. Zeer grote aanrader om hier te bestellen en zal het ook zeker nog een keer doen :)
De schoenen geven extra steun aan de voet en zijn heel stevig en je bent meteen 15cm groter!. Ik ben niet aan mijn proefstuk toe want ik kocht reeds verschillende modellen, en vooral ze zijn zeer sexy (en dat is de bedoeling)!
Beautiful boots, they are very comfortable and light to wear, despite their massive appearance.
I was extremely satisfied with the communication with the shop, which helped me a lot in finding the right size.
From now on this will be my trusted shop for purchasing Demonia shoes.
Pleaser Flamingo 1045VEL It’s my personal love😍 I enjoy my new shoes so much!
Buying a new shoes in kinky-shoes it was pleasure for me and they arrived perfectly in time (2-3days took delivery)
General information
We import ordered items especially for you from our supplier in the USA; therefore the average delivery time is 1 to 1½ weeks (within the Netherlands) but this can be longer due to unforeseen reasons.
Please note:
* When returning multiple items that we have imported, we always look at the costs incurred per individual situation; the amount we deduct and the amount we convert into shop credit depends on the actual costs we have incurred. This applies to: This amount only covers the costs incurred for imported the items you ordered; we do not charge any cancellation fees or restocking fees ourselves. |
Of course we prefer not to do this, but in order to cover the unnecessary costs incurred by us and to discourage the many returns, this has unfortunately proved necessary. (think of the environment and please make sure you order the right items)
We won't charge you these costs for a single exchange in case of a wrong size. You can read more about our return policy in our Terms and Conditions and Refund Policy.

Sizing and Dimensions
See how you can calculate your size using a conversion table on our information page: "How do I know which size I have and which one I should order?"
To view a conversion table and see which sizes & dimensions we use, you can use the size chart, which you can find in the following two ways:
On every page (both on your mobile and on a computer) you can find a button for a size chart on the right side, which looks like this:
On all product pages you can find the button for the table above the "Add to cart" button, which looks like this:
Our shoes and boots come from the USA and have American sizes (1 inch = 2.54 cm).
These dimensions have been converted to the Western European size that we use in the Netherlands, Belgium and other EU countries. Our converted EU dimensions differ from those of our American supplier stated on the box. Experience shows that shoe sizes US-12 and up in particular are larger.
Order the size you normally wear, we already take into account how a model fits (large, small or according to size). Sometimes we explicitly inform you about this in the description.
If you are between sizes, we usually recommend rounding up the size for a closed model, such as a pump or boot. With an open model, such as a sandal or peep toes (where the toes and heel are 'open') we recommend to choose the smaller size.
If you want to order a specific US size, please select the desired US size indicated in the sizes. We always order the corresponding US size stated; the corresponding EU size determined by us may therefore differ from the EU size stated on the box.
Of course you can always ask us for advice about which size you need: info@kinky-shoes.nl
If you would like to know the shaft circumference, shaft height and calf circumference of boots, you can calculate these for your size (for an explanation of how to do this; view our information page about calculating the circumference). Use the following data sheet for this:
