Pole Dancing Boots

Pole dancing boots are ideal for pole dancing. They not only give you the extra grip you needed for your pole dancing moves but provide the additional leg protection for those extended pole sessions as well.

There are many types of pole dancing boots available in the market. You need to pick the right one that is suited to yuor style and more importantly, your leg shapes. Read on to see how to select the right pole dancing footwear.

Pole dancing ankle boots
Ankle boots are a great way to get some extra pole purchase while still having the option of a small heel. The added support they provide around the ankle will help you with some inverts and spins. And of course they add some useful padding to protect your feet from any scrapes and bruises.

Pole dancing knee high boots
If you’d like a bit of extra help with your inverts – particularly those that rely on the feet and lower legs – then a pair of knee high boots is ideal. They’re also great for climbing the pole – they can give you a real boost when your arm strength is waning at the end of a long pole dancing session.

Pole dancing thigh high boots
You should definitely consider getting a pair though, as these boots are simply amazing at gripping the pole. These types of pole dancing boots provide a whole new set of benefits that are different from the rest.

In general, pole dancing thigh high boots are great for learning moves like the knees – the padding around the knee joint makes the experience a little less painful, and their stickiness gives you some useful extra security while you practise.

Pole dancing chest high boots
I’ve never seen these worn on the pole. I’m sure the grip would be phenomenal though – moves like the superman would be almost too easy!

Choose the right materials for your pole dancing boots
While design is important, make sure that you select the right materials for your pair of pole dancing boots. Soft leather boots are not good for pole dancing – they can be extremely slippery and offer you no grip at all. Plastic or shiny boots are a much better bet, but unfortunately there’s no sure-fire guarantee of stickiness, so – unless they come Pole Approved – make sure you check the refund policy before you buy!

Keeping your pole dancing boots on
Boots with zips on the inside leg are usually the best option for pole dancing, though if you can find a pair of slip on boots that fit perfectly then that’s ideal. Hooks will tend to bend and may damage your pole, and laces in the wrong place will provide no grip on the pole. For bigger boots in particular, make sure they fit you very well. If the boots are too loose then there’s a danger they will get stuck half way up the pole as you slide to the bottom – never a good look!
