Striped ones do not stay up… but they are comfie and have a great look. 🙂

Chem, sockdreams carries those too and free shipping. I have a pair and love them.

Will have to try the KD dance ones. I like the variety of colors.

I know what you mean CapFeb… I won't drive in flip flops either. Or ride a bike in them. 🙂

Welcome. Eating better is a great place to start… I have challenges with that one myself. 🙂

I have a sock dreams ADDICTION and they happen to have my favorite long leg warmers. These are my personal FAVORITE!!! You can wear them scrunchie or long. They stay up fairly well but there is no elastic etc to keep them up so there is some sliding down.

Hi there! Every person is going to have their own way of working out and eating that they swear by. It also normally changes throughout the years depending on ones time allowance, budget, personal goals, health status and energy levels etc.
My personal experience is that pole is a killer upper body workout. Pole holds, climbs, spins and moves give me me plenty of upper body work. The only additional upper body work that I do is push ups. I love pole and I don't like anything else so that is another factor. I am motivated to do pole. I have gotten muscle definition in my arms/shoulders/back and love it. My friends tell me I have "guns" now and after years of being a gym rat… I didn't have "guns"… 😉
I bet you look great right now just as you are. I understand though the desire to improve/explore and kudos to you for looking for some ideas to help you on that journey. I hope you get lots of great advice in this thread and welcome to SV!

I don't wear heels in everyday life, my go to shoe is a flat. Only when dancing do I wear heels. I am 5' 8" and have taken to 7.5 – 8 inchers. Makes me very tall but I love it. I feel the larger heel is more propotional to my height.
I've never had anyone tell me I'm 'too tall'. People seem to really like it. Also keep in mind many runway models are 5'11" without shoes and they wear sky high heels. Confidence and comfort in your skin (heel or not) will really set you apart and make you look great.
It takes trial and error to find the right shoe for you. Each brand is different and each shoe in a brand can wear differently. Insoles can help a little bit.
Be really careful driving in heels. If it's over 2" I won't drive in it. That goes for wedges too. They make little slip on flats you can wear when driving and then can put your heels on when you get where you are going. I know… I know… me and my 'safety first'. ha ha. Those little slip on flats also help if your heels are hurting you too bad and you need a break.

Definitely heels for me. I love the way the look and they also they protect my feet. Practice is key when adjusting to heels. If you like them and it is something you want to learn, keep at it and you will be more comfortable in no time!

Thank you so much Lush Libra! I meant ‘humane’ in my earlier post. I appreciate you signing!

Laughed at your smell your hands comment. I don’t have to smell my hands to smell it, just sensitive and very perceptive with smells. I didn’t know before I bought brass it has such a distinct smell. It’s good there are many finishes to choose from, I just never thought smell would be in my criteria set.

All this rib breaking talk makes me cringe! AmazonLady, do you need to see a doctor for evaluation and treatment? I hope you feel much better soon and am sorry you are having so many rib injuries. Amy has very sound suggestions regarding technique.

I'm hypersensitive to scents… I smelt brass all over after using it and during use too. Couldn't stand it. I hardly use it because PC is too grippy for the moves I like to do. Pole trial and error… 😉
-
Lyme,
I couldn't stand the brass smell. I am very sensitive to smells so I PC'd it. The extra grip and color was nice but then it was too grippy for me. I do a lot of drops and that's a no go for me on PC.

Powder coat in my area was $125. I had a brass pole powder coated.
