    Default Im supposed to wear what?

    I worked for a couple nights with some cute go-go boots, and a pair of clear wedges thinking it would be almost as good as a true "stripper' shoe! NOT! I bought my 1st pair of 7 inch heels, and the nerves quickly followed! I hope I dont bust my ass, and now I know how dumb I looked on stage in my "newbie" shoes!! But at least they weren't platform flip-flops!!

    Did anyone else have shoe-stage fright??

    start with a low heel and then slowly work your way up a higher heel. Like 2 inches, 4 inches, 6 inches, and then 7 or 8 inches. Wear each height for atleast a month (not a couple of nights) before moving to the next one. that's how I got over my fear of heights, anyway...

    Also, do you practice wearing them around the house?
    i used to dream militant dreams / of taking over america / to show these white folks how it should be done
    i used to dream radical dreams / of blowing everyone away / with my perceptive powers of correct analysis
    i even used to think / id be the one to stop the riot and negotiate the peace / then i awoke and dug
    that if i dreamed natural dreams / of being a natural woman
    doing what a woman does / when shes natural
    i would have a revolution

    I've been dancing for a while now and I get "stage shoe fright" every time I walk on the stage with a new pair of shoes especially if I am not used to the height. I do agree though it's a smart thing to spend some time at home with your shoes so your not walking in them the first time at work. Otherwise I think it's pretty normal!!

    I do. I started with go go boots too actually and then moved up to a more classic clear bottomed "stripper" shoe with super skinny heels.

    Big mistake. I never learned how to walk in heels until very recently and opted for boots over shoes 99% of the time due to weak ankles. I fell on stage, on the floor, in the dressing room and down the stairs in those shoes. I was always walking stiffly and awkwardly and when I got home my feet/legs hurt for 24 hours after any shift I worked.

    Find a shoe that is comfortable for you, as long as it meets your clubs rules if there are any. Start small and maybe try some shoes with chunky heels to offer more support.

    7 in heels are fucking scary.

    Love my 7 inchers!

    I agree with the advice above. Start small like 5" or 6". I was nervous on my 4" clear prom shoes. lol Then I got smart and invested in some real stripper shoes. Those shoes are made for strippin' and that's just what I'll do....

    You'll get over the shoe stage fright the more you wear and work in them.

    Yeah, you definitely have to work your way up to those. It took me almost two years to have the guts to step into 7-inchers. Between 5-6 is a good place to start. And chunky heels are awesome for newbs too.

    I just mastered the art of walking around in my 7's. I freaking love 'em. It's so nice to feel tall for once cause I'm only 5'2. I seriously want to wear these to concerts so I can finally see over everyone's heads for once, lol.

    I'm 5'11'' and I'm afraid I'll feel like that too, I haven't started stripping yet gonna wait until after the summer, But I've already bought some 5 inch heels and walk around the house in them a few times a week. I can change ceiling light bulbs in them but I feel crazy tall :/ I'm sure I'll tower over all of the girls I might be working with in the future.

    I am 5'7" without heels, so I tower over everyone with 6" heels on, putting me over 6". Its GREAT being taller than almost everyone, people look up to you they never look down on you.... people tend to be intimidated by people bigger than them. I think sometimes I get more money because they are shocked that I am hot and I have a few inches on them. The only down side is you have farther to fall, if you fall.

    Yea I'm 6 feet tall and I bought 4 inch heels.. I regularly wear 4 inchers, and tower over everyone, so I figured no need to go higher!

    Oh yeah, I'm not the most graceful in heels. A dancer busting her ass is also not sexy.

    If you think you're ready to dive in with the 7inchers than go for it. Maybe wearing them around the house will make you feel more confident and help you adjust to them before you go out in front of the audience?

    I've been dancing for about 5 years out of 9 total.... and I still wear shoes with straps. Always. I'm scared that I will do some cool move with my legs and a shoe will go *FLYING* off and hit someone.

    Nobody's complained. They can be just as sexy and the slip-ons!!

    ^^^ that happened when I was a custie last year, this girl was being all sexy and writhing and stuff and then BAM, one shoe down.... she was totally thrown off. So I wear shoes with straps. They're black and sexy as hell. And can break things if I stomp. Teehee.

    I started in a pair of 4 inch dress shoes and didn't do too bad. When I jumped up to 6 inchers a friend of mine couldn't believe I could even walk I was so ungraceful. I tried 8 inches but busted my ass a few too many times so i went back to 6 inches. I bought my first 7 inch pair in years last July and just bought another 7 inch pair 4 months ago. I love my 6 and 7 inchers lots. I've thought about the 8 inchers again but am worried I'll bust my ass again. This go around I might just have the balance to do it.

    I fell on stage in a pair of 6 inch heels when one of the ankle straps broke last month. That was so embarrassing! There's nothing sexy about gyrating nicely and then falling on your butt.
