If you dance for a living or for fun or depend on your shoes for whatever reason don't rely on these as your main pair of shoes. These shoes are known to break after only a few weeks of typical wear. Most problems include broken heels or the soles coming undone from the bottom of the shoe. Stitching is often second rate and cannot compare to Pleaser in the quality of their detail.
Any woman with a wide foot will have a difficult time finding a pair of Ellie shoes or boots that fit comfortably. These shoes are made to fit a slender foot so they tend to be too tight for a wide woman who wears a wide shoe.
Pleaser shoes are a similar brand of shoes that are less well-known. Their higher cost keeps shoe stores from keeping them in stock when they can get similar shoes for less overhead. Shoe stores are not concerned about the quality of the shoes that they sell. Then the shoes become the problem of their new owner
The major downside to Pleaser brand dancer shoes is that they are more expensive, but the quality way surpasses that of Ellie and overall worth the extra cash. The quality in Pleaser's detail to every aspect of their shoe.
Pleaser is best known for their sexy high heels, but are also well-known for their high quality boots which are offered in a number of styles and materials. Dancer shoes must be able to withstand a good deal of wear and abuse. This is where most dancer shoes fall short: the heel or the outer soles are normally the first thing to go in less expensive shoes. Pleaser brand shoes have more unique styles than less expensive shoes; less expensive shoes copy other brands depending upon what is popular and selling well at the time and season.

Post a CommentI completly aree with you Pandora! I am a full time dancer and have been only doing this for 14 weeks(never danced defore) and i tried the Ellie brand at first night and boy was I in pain! Yes they are wider but the foot padding is absolutely horrible! Pleasers NEVER EVER LET ME DOWN and will continue to purchase that brand and that brand only. I have MS and being on my feet for that long the more support I need and they are soo comfortable. I even realized that the higher the heel and platform is wayyy more comfy. Thank you for your advice! You def seem to know what you talking about and i greatly appreciated you advice! Thanx again!!! Enjoy the rest of your day!! :0)

Pleaser / Demonia run amazing sizing. Depending on the style you may have EXTRA room with wide feet, or no room at all with skinny feet, look at the shoe, and make a decision. Realistically the Pleaser & Demonia brands have good sizing for women with wider feet. I wear 9.5 in PUMA and 9.0 in PLEASER/DEMONIA and 10 in ALDO and probably 10.5 in ELLIE but I dont think Ellie runs 10.5 so for me I would choose an Ellie style that isnt SO narrow, and get it in 10.
I disagree. I think that ellie shoes fall apart more...that is true, but they are generally wider and more expensive than pleaser. Pleaser shoes are super narrow and only accommodate very tapered toes. I think it depends on the style. I like both brands, but its tough to make a good call because the pleasers are so apt to give ya blisters.
