My dance studio was given these and I was lucky to be able to take them home. They are absolutely stunning high quality vegan materials. I have thick calves and thighs and was able to zip them up.

I love dancing in these, they have a perfect balance to the toe box, a slim heel, and lovely details like the buckle
Great for edge work and actually have some grip so you can still climb
However, I am built small, with strong legs, and if my muscles were any thicker, I would take these beyond spec - they seem to be designed for very slender girls with no muscle at all
Already, with about 10 uses, the stitching is starting to come undone on one leg
Also, the scuff very easily so you must have a protector
However I will buy again because they have the best balance and grip of any boot I've used so far.

I have a small foot size 5.5 & a bigger calf. These seems to be made for people who are really small. 1st look at the shoe the whole leg area is very narrow. I have other stripper heels that I would recommend with a better price point, still has comfort & more accommodating with fit.

You would think that the weight of this shoe would be a lot considering how much shoe it is, but its a super light 8inch boot and very easy to pole in. The pleather sticks nicely to the pole for leg hangs. I also love that that the zipper goes all the way up so once you lace these to your size, you don't have to worry about doing it again for a while. The lace holes are flat, not grommets, so you don't have to worry about them scratching the pole, bending, or breaking (which I've totally had happen). I am a small size 6 and wear a 6 comfortably, but if you are in between or have a wide foot I would size up. I appreciate that this thick-thighed lady finally has thigh highs to pole in!
