    I was at a workshop Thursday with Aleatha Austin and one of the ladies in the workshop with me said she gets these garters for her shoes. They hold the shoes w out the straps on!!! She said they look like small garters, but are clear and for shoes! Do you guys know where to get these? Have you seen or heard of them? What are they called? LOL!

    All the girls I've ever known have gotten real garters and just wrapped them around the shoe. Doubt this was helpful but I tried.  🙂

    I don't know, but I'm intrigued by body strings: http://www.expressthesensual.com/2009/10/30/treasure-hunt-for-bodystrings/

     

    They seem like a fun way to accessorize and a way to hold shoes without straps on (but obviously they aren't clear…)

     

    PS–I was at the AA workshop too! 🙂

    A while ago I found a pair of chrome pleaser 7 1/2 inch platforms. TO DIE FOR! Retail they were $69.99 but http://www.6pm.com had them on clearance IN MY SIZE FOR $28 (that price included the shipping!) The only problem was that they didn't have ankle straps.

    After I searched and searched and searched, I came across this website – I totally recommend them! I hope this is something you were talking about!

    Ooooh thanks polefitmom I shall have to save that link. I keep seeing really nice shoes but have to ignore them because there is no way I could wear them without injury!!

    Anyway I have banned myself from buying any more pole shoes for a while, but when I'm next let loose I will certainly have a wider range of optionshttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

    I do not normally promote our items on this site but I think those who wish to practice with platform shoes may be interested in the following item: Ankle protector with tack strips & open bottom for use with Platform shoes.

    http://mightygrip.info/bmighty-grip-pole-fitnessb-pole-dance-anklets-wristlets-ankle-protector-with-tack-open-bottom-p-555.html

    Sold out of medium size but we have another order arriving on Friday. We will also have them at the convenition in Florida if you wish to see them first. 

    Thank you,

    Joel

    Mighty grip- That is definately an awesome product!

    I’ve also seen girls use garters so hold strapless shoes on.

    @Sparrow—-Thanks! Do you find they rip stitching when you stretch them? Or are they sewn at all?

    I've used body strings they are fun! I've also used leg garter strings (the strings are attached to a  leg garter I had them on in my Jamaica performance but not to hold my shoes on) and I have also just bought ribbon that matched my outfit and used it to wrap shoe and ankle together, easy fun and cheap. Those clear things look awesome too and I might just have to get some for my clear shoes.
