Would the eyelets on either scratch my pole?

I don't see a huge difference between them either..... But I do know that various things scratch the pole......eyelets included. I have scratches in my poles from various boots etc... I don't think you can get around it if you want to wear the various ultimately sexy footwear options. I know the one pole I have is worse for scratches cuz it belonged to a friend of mine who was a stripper. She danced in HUGE(very very sexy platforms) boots. The lace up hooks did a number on the chrome. I have seen brass just as beat up and scratched by boots. However, on brass......using brasso cleaner seems to minimize the look of the scratches 🤔

The difference is that the 2020 has a side zipper and the 2025 does not. This means on the 2020 you can keep them laced and just zip in and zip out of them. The 2025 you have to lace them each and every time. The only problem I have had with having to lace them all the time is that the eyelets have a tendency to bend themselves shut, especially when climbing, making them very difficult to get out of. My favorite pair of boots are the Penthouse Chasity which zip up the back and you can change the ribbons out to match your outfit. They come with pink,red and black ribbons to start. http://localhosthttp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51tXS1jfX4L._AA300_.jpg I will also add that the front eyelet boots WILL bruise your shins, even through socks.

woohoo chemi those are HAWT!!! i gotsta get some!! (edited: to add) the top pair has those hook things in addition to eyelets. the hooky things are kinda good and bad because, while they are easier to lace - laces can fall out of the hook. also, the hooks can get bent down and smash/trap your lace. (not sure if that makes any sense... need sleep) i'd say go for the bottom pair- even tho it might be a pain to lace them up. It's not like you have to hurry off to the office or to the store before closing. they are for performance! another thing- you can make your significant other lace 'em up for ya!

Wow. I have to get me a pair of those boots. Do they seem to run to a correct size? Or do you need to get a size larger?

Wow. I have to get me a pair of those boots. Do they seem to run to a correct size? Or do you need to get a size larger? Which ones? I typically wear a 9.5. In the Pleasers I bought a 10 (I have a similar pair but in white) and in the Penthouse I bought a 9. I can wear socks under both (little footies on the Penthouse ones).

The penthouse ones. They're so cool! Sounds like I should just get my normal size. Win. I'm gonna go order those and my crazy Ikea-shoes now. ~does dance of glee~ 😀 🤸 😀 🤸 👍

Chemgoddess- Those boots are awesome as I saw them in real life on you! I can't usually wear boots b/c they gap. (legs are thin). If you get a chance what is the circumference (at the top) if it was laced shut all the way? Thanks. __ Please go to http://www.poletopia.com to take our survey, as we are a new upcoming company.

Velvet- I had more of an issue with these with a gap at the ankle, but if you lace them with the bows on the bottom it is not noticeable. I will measure them when I get home, but they may get larger with larger shoe sizes.

I wear size 9-10 anyway. lol Gapping at ankle? I also have narrow feet so maybe it wont work...
chemgoddess1 · 8/25/2010
I will take some pics. They are sort of like a low ankle boot up until the front and back flaps. No matter what you do, there is going to be a 2"-ish gap right at your ankle bones that does not tighten. I had tried lacing the boots where the bow was at the top and it is very noticeable, the bow really hides it when it is on the bottom.
