Heelster Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I was out shopping and thought I would stop into a specialty boutique for a quick glance at their selections. They were having a clearance on specific Pleaser models/styles when I noticed this one stack of Pleaser strappy platforms in red - - In a size 15!!! Guess they have a limited market in these sizes as the sales associate indicated that they regularly order in a couple models in these larger sizes. She claims she has dancers that wear sizes this big, but I'm betting otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney15c Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I can think of a number of Pleaser styles that go to a size 16, granted the size 15 shoes you saw are not a common size but a lot of very tall men with larger than normal feet are just as much a target market as more conventional sized male customers are and as you said these were in a specialist store. At the end of the day Pleaser would have done their homework and know there is money to be made in larger sizes otherwise they wouldnt be making them in relatively large numbers. In my experience Pleaser often come up small so a 15 might fit a 14 better. I bought a pair of sz14 leopard pumps from pleaser fit my UK10 (US12 Women) about right so they were a very small fit, and i have never had to buy that large, US13 max (Can anyone confirm this?).

barney15c Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Talking of size 16 heels how bloody daft are these!!!! Still i suppose you have to admire the firm who makes them, catering for Size 16 footed Christmas elves / Arabian panto types!!!!! :silly: Sorry they may be heels but i couldnt seriously wear these. The second pair are also upto a size 16, and are marginally better, at least they havent got a curly toe with a bell!!! Apparently the manufacturer is based in Poland.

roniheels Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 My female friend who owns an exotic boutique has 5" stilettos up to size 17. The size 15 doesn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dahool Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Apparently the manufacturer is based in Poland. @barney15c, could you give some more details about the manufacturer? It's not that I'd like to buy these but I'm surprised that the Poles are making such shoes. Pretty awkward and worth checking. Maybe I'll try to persuade them to start making sth similar to little shoe box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of their other styles are quite nice i have to say. I dont know if they are made in Poland or just imported from China.
