Anyone not like platform/clear heels for yourself?

I have noted with increasing curiosity that while most of us are not exotic dancers and do not appreciate the assumption that we are just because we pole, lots of us tend to choose heels associated with stripping. I see lots of the sky-high platformed heels and lots of lucite, which I've always heard called "stripper heels." Here's what I came up with, and correct me if I'm wrong: it is impowering to wear heels referred to as "stripper heels" because (1) they are associated with total sexyness and (2) we can transform their meaning based on who we are rather than what people would assume we are. I love this idea! I don't personally like thick platforms on myself or clear heels, but when I see them on you ladies you could not look more bold and strong. I do wear really tall heels compared to those around me (around 4 1/2") without platforms or with a small platform which my classmates and co-workers call "stripper heels." They make my stride stronger and I love the authoritative click. I was wondering, what do you love about your heels? Am I right about why we love our platform heels or what other reasons do you love wearing them? Or is there anyone that doesn't particularly like the typical platform heel?

Usually pole barefoot but i got my first pair or stripper shoes for pole and they are so comfy i would wear them everyday it i wasn't so afraid of the look people would give me. For me it add some sexy and confidence to my poling. I even got a few good comments about the way i walk with my regular heels, got ask how i could walk so easyly with such high heels :P

I think dancing barefoot gives a certain raw sensuality to many movements -- and I do dance barefoot fairly often depending on my mood plus the mood of the music. But I'll never give up my stripper heels. :) I think I have more pairs of "stripper heels" than I do "regular" shoes lol. I LOVE ME some shoe claps and heel slides and all the things that are better in shoes!!!
