I think they are called platform stilettos. Many of them have a 6 inch heel, and a 3 inch platform. I believe that the heel and platform height increase from there. If you do a search on those, you may also want to include search words that indicate that you are intending on purchasing them.

http://electriqueboutique.com has tons of them for cheap

locally, like everyone else said, sex/clubwear/stripper stores.  also, some stores offer you a discount if you are a model or dancer, so you should ask about that too.

I would get a pair of sexy classy stilletos in stead of stripper shoes. Play boy esk shots should be classy not trashy

Pleaser Shoes. I can't find the link, but you can google it.

They're a bit on the "kinky" site, but gorgeous shoes, nonetheless.

Well, these type of heels don't really strike me as playboy, but if you are getting a pair I would say with a strap.  Simply because if you aren't used to wearing platforms that are that high then it'll make it a lot easier and safer for you.  If you are getting one with a lower platform then it'll be alright without the strap, I'd say like a 5" platform.

Don't look for "Playboy style shoes"... get yourself some heels that make you feel extremely sexy and wear those. If you feel sexy you will act sexy and they will see you sexy.

Well, these are the type of shoes that strippers wear.  that 8" heel there is crazy high I think.  I haven't seen a playboy in a while but I would say simply go with a lower platform because the really high ones like those up there strike me as more of a strip club or bunny ranch or gentlmen's club thing.

But, I would think this would be good.  For Clear heels these don't look trashy or have that chunky look.  They're 5.5"

I think this might be more of what you're looking for if you're going towards the stripper shoe look that isn't too chunky. These are 6"

I would think that a heel that compliments your feet best are the best for the shoot and would look sexiest for it.

(my opnion) but ewww..no stripper shoes I have NEVER seen once stripper shoes in playboy, playboy is a "girls next door" magazine you gotta look sexy NOT trashy.
meaning buy shoes that you would wear out to a nice dinner..pointy toe or open..whatever makes you feel sexy but NO stripper..please!

Hold on for a second, "stripper shoes" are not worn in Playboy..... they are looking for more of a "girl next door" look.........

If you are really shooting in a "playboy" style, you would be wearing a lovely open-toed, thin, spike-heeled shoe.  You probably have half a dozen of them already....... 

Pick up the Magazine and look at it before you spend $50 on stripper shoes......

I am a little concerned that you have agreed to shoot "playboy" style with the photog but you don't know what that is.........  Be careful........

hey girl...  imo?  clear heels scream stripper- i stick with the colored heels for shoots, myself, sold by the same people, one great place to try is:
www.pinupgirlclothing.com
its true- playboy doesn't use those much, they are more into whatever is fashion/trendy circa 6 months ago-whatever the not-quite-current cut of stilettos is.  but most pinup photographers would still call 'em stripper shoes - basically they want something with a lot of heel that makes your legs and stance a certain way.  (and in my experience, "playboy style" is more a definition of the type of nudity you are agreeing to than the fashion style)
there are many styles that are cute, look like normal heels, just with a killer platform height.  find somethin' you like, there's plenty out there!
good luck!

Clear heels DEFINITELY scream stripper. I would recommend wearing a neon pink/yellow skimpy outfit to  match. because that's what I envision when I think about clear heels.

I would recomment getting evening/elegant sandals. tongue
