Link a video showing this please? I know people that use electrical tape, but I've only ever used it for its intented purpose on electrical wiring. I've never liked how the gooey adhestive feels on my skin, but some people swear by it.
It is one of two things, either electrical tape to sheild the top of your foot while climbing or it is someone wearing foot undies.

Could also be bondage tape, which isn't sticky, but grips the pole and protects the top of the feet a bit. Mind you, that tends to be wide strips.
Is it the mighty grip ankle protectors? If not, probably foot undeez. I just got my first pair yesterday. LOVE THEM!
hey thanks everyone, i went looking for a video and well, when you want something you can never find it, lol i will try the electrical tape and will look into the foot undeez im more or less looking for something so i can do pirouettes bare foot but not have my whole foot covered so i can still climb, i would use my heels but i love to pole bare foot. the flooring under my pole sucks and it sounds like im passing gas when i try to pirouette and then i get stuck mid pirouette and trip,=( i was also thinking velcro, the soft part, you can get it with the sticky on back to stick to anything, i was thinking of giving that a try. oh high heat tape for motorcycle pipes, that's soft but super sticky, hmmmmmmmm i may have to do a few experiments, lol
I use the stuff they wrap tennis racket handles with, electrical tape will just slip, this stuff sticks to the pole really well. I'ts a big help for moves like starfish.
The item you are all waiting for will be arriving in a couple of weeks. It is our regular Sole Savers which I normally used for floor work but with tack strip added to the top and side so you can transition easily to the pole and not slip. Designed by Trixie Lovett. Just tweaking the final version. J
ooooooooooo. I'm intrerested!
Wait! Are all the toes separated by fabric? I can't wear things with separated toes cuz I two partially webbed toes on my left foot! :/ I guess I could cut the fabric on the left one....
I have the foot undeez and I love them. They really do make a huge difference. @sensualscimitar - Not all of the toes are separated by fabric. There is a small piece between the big toe and the rest of your toes, but that is it.
Scimitar-the original design has separated toes, HOWEVER, they are designed so you can easily snip between the toe holes for those of you who may have "non-traditional feet". Hope that helps!! :)
Here is a link to my design 'sole saverz' which I designed around 3 years ago. Tac ones are also available http://www.sweetvixencouture.com/catalog/item/7915108/8507208.htm
