The best ways to make your pole dancing shoes fit your foot!
So, you’ve decided to take the plunge and purchase yourself a pair of pole dancing high heels from Pleaser, Hella Heels, or another awesome pole dancing shoe brand, but sadly they are just a little too tight. You could exchange them for the size up, but then they might be too big which is even worse. This isn’t the end of the world, I can promise you that; from experience, I can tell you that with a few simple tweaks, your tight pole dancing shoes can be stretched out for a better fit over your foot!
Try the hair dryer technique
Tried and tested by pole dancers over many, many years, the hair dryer technique for stretching shoes is popular for a reason.Easily accessible and hard to mess up, using a hairdryer on a low heat while you wear a thick pair of socks and wear the shoes can help you stretch the plastic of a pole dancing shoe upper to help your foot fit better.
- Hit your shoes with some heat for about 30 seconds
- Pop your sock-wearing foot into the shoes and hit them with another 30 seconds of heat in areas that need some stretching.
- Once you feel like your foot fits well, take your shoe off, let them cool, and try them on again without the sock.
- If there are still some problem areas, try the technique again.
- This is best used on shoes that are a little tight in the upper, like platform sandals, that only need a little bit of tweaking to fit perfectly.
