I may choose traction if: (Click Here to Learn How to Customize Your Traction)
- I enjoy a wide variety of movement with technical elements, direction changes, etc.
- My main dance surface tends to be slippery
- I dance on multiple different dance surfaces
- I prefer to be more grounded in my movement
- We recommend if you are going to be using primarily on a dance floor that you always get the Alpha WITH traction
- Alpha's without traction are great for carpet at conventions
Please note: Due to the antimicrobial/moisture wicking properties in every pair, we recommend to treat your Alpha Shocks as you would a shoe.
Alpha Shocks do not need to be washed daily or even weekly, as water will naturally break down the traction faster. Wash your Shocks only as necessary to possibly preserve the life of the traction.
I may choose Non-traction if:
- My movement is more stationary (i.e. instruction, yoga, etc)
- My main dance surface tends to be sticky
- I will be wearing my Shocks in shoes (i.e. tap shoes, sneakers, etc.)
- Infinite non-traction Shocks are for everyone from runners to nurses that need more support, less aches, and improved circulation in their day to day activities
- I plan to wear my Shocks in a convention setting and will likely be dancing on carpet or a combination of hard/soft surfaces.
- I like to just wear a sock on dance floors and enjoy that gliding ability
Note: All of our Shocks can be washed and dried according to our recommended care instructions and always use your Apolla Mesh Bag when laundering.
