People are always looking for a great form of exercise, and sometimes that exercise can be sort of fun. Pole dancing classes have taken off because not only is it a great form of exercise given the sheer amount of muscle control and flexibility it demands, but because there is sort of neat thrill to it. Women who take the class tend to have a lot of fun. However, before taking class, you need to make sure that you have the right kind of shoes; you need actual pole dancing shoes in order to make the most of the class as well ensure your safety.

The Basics

Normally, you would be advised against purchasing high heeled shoes, but for pole dancing they seem to work the best. They not only do they make your legs look longer, but they can actually help you keep your balance a lot better. By the same token, you need to make sure that the sole are not slick; there needs to be some friction between the shoes and the floor. High heels can be dangerous, but that is mostly because the sole is meant more for decoration than practicality; for pole dancing, they need to be a little better at grabbing the floor. That tread can only help on the smooth stage.

What You Need

Another strange bit of advice, but one that can only help your enjoyment of the class: Do not be afraid to go with something a little, well, “low-class”; this is one time when you want a pair of shoes that are actually more fun than gorgeous, so find a pair of shoes you do would probably not wear under any circumstance, and go for it. Again, it may sound a little strange, but the trashier the shoes the more likely you will have a lot more fun with the class. If you want, you can make sure that your exercise suit matches the shoes, but that is not necessary.

The best pair of pole dancing shoes are high heels with some great traction; they will make your legs look great while providing a defense against the slick floor. Also, have some fun with them; this is one time you want to have some fun with the shoes you are wearing. As long as the shoes are fun and safe, you will find that you are likely to get more out of the class, so have fun picking out the shoes to get the most out of the class.
