There is a pole similar to the Star stage, called the R-Pole, but the reviews aren’t too great.. And the pole is only available in 38mm if I remember correctly.
And then Hardcore poles makes a stage similar to the regular Platinum Stage:

Hahah! That;’s CLASSIC!

I LIVE IN MINNEAPOLIS!!!!!! There a few studioveena gals here in the city. There are some bars that have poles and we go out from time to time and show them how its done. HEHE
I didn’t know you lived in Minneapolis!

Welcome! I am in the Minneapolis area, too! I am going to be starting classes at Flex Appeal Studios which is right off 3rd & Washington. You can check them out at: http://www.poledancingminneapolis.com/index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
But yesterday I took a Pole Tricks class at a studio in Eagan called Bodyblast. But they only have a "Level 1 Pole Tricks" class, so there’s nothing to advance to once you master the tricks taught in Level 1 or if you’re already past that level.

I have not had those exact shoes you posted, but I’ve had similar ones w/ the glitter on top and just like everyone has said, the glitter does wear off after a while. Even just wearing them as regular shoes (no pole involved) the glitter stills wears off! =/
I know you said you don’t want shoes that tall/with that thin of a heel, but these are kind of similar?

^ I know exactly what you mean! I tend to deathgrip spinning poles because l feel like if I loosen my grip just a little bit to slide down, I’ll fly right off https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_lol.gif

On the homepage, when you’re logged in, you see in the right top corner "Welcome Spinderells". Next to that click on "My Profile". On that profile page, choose "Edit Profile". And on that page you should be able to change your settings.
Awesome, it worked! Thank you so much! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

One thing I noticed is that when it comes to my wrist position starting on static it adjusts during the spin as my hand moves around the pole, where the spinning mode does not allow my hand to move an the position of my wrist doesn’t change. I’m back on strictly static.
Agreed. This is why I am not good with spin mode! If my hand doesn’t move position while I’m spinning, I get stuck midway through, and can’t position myself to "land" the trick.. if that makes sense?

Saaaaaaweet! I might actually buy an X-Pole if they are available in brass! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

I am a little late in my reply, but:

Pleaser shoes run small on me, too. I hate pleaser shoes so I only wear Vivid footwear. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

Here’s another article, "How to choose a pole," which may be of some help:

Hahahaha!!! That is GREAT!! I love it!

I think the taller the shoe, the easier they are to walk/dance in. It’s weird! I have never found a pair of 6" heels that are comfortable. But ALL of my 8" shoes and boots are extremely comfortable!
I have never tripped off of 8" heels, either. I think they make the taller shoes more sturdy. Plus, I think the taller the heel, the taller they make the platform. So the 8" heels have a taller front platform ratio when compared to the shorter heeled shoes.
So it feels like you’re not walking in heels when you’re in the tall shoes (even though you’re teetering precariously on a thin stick almost a foot above the ground)
I think the brand VIVID makes the most comfortable tall shoes. I have a pair of 8" Vivid shoes and they are so comfortable, they’re better than the Converse I wear everyday! The sole is very cushiony and they even have a cushion for the toes to keep your toes from sliding out the front and looking funny.

That is so weird.. I was just wondering the EXACT same thing this morning!
-
Ohhh, I want that set so badly, too! But unfortunately, the most I could go is $75 https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif
-
This is so cool!! And ironic.. I was on my morning jog today when I had to take a detour into a kid’s soccer field to see if I could climb the pole that was randomly sticking out of the ground.

In this instance I would suggest a little talc on your hands. I have callouses on my hands from my powder coated but I have just learned to adjust my grip differently. I have ripped some skin though on my legs https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif
OMG! Ouch!! I was wondering about powder coated poles.. Now I won’t get one!
And thank you for the tip, that sounds obvious now!! Why didn’t I think of that?!
-
You have to treat brass or it will tarnish…have you tried Brasso? Give the pole a good clean and polish – I bet it looks as good as new. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
Thank you!! I will get some of that!

I agree with most everyone else, get a pole that has the option to spin; and you can just set it to not spin. I have a spinny/static pole and I rarely use the spinny option.
I have the Platinum Stages removable pole in brass, and I LOVE it. I have had it up for years and it hasn’t come undone. (I just make sure to tighten it every month or so, just in case!)
The only downside to my pole is that the finish is weird.. I don’t know if it’s just brass poles in general, but it has finger prints and hand-swipe marks that never go away. So it’s not perfectly shiny anymore, like it was when I first bought it. But I can deal with that!
