What do the Action Points in the equipment section mean? - High angle of pair of white pointe for dancing ballet placed on floor in dance studio

There are action points shown in inventory menu for each equipment piece. Does that mean that, for example, if it shows 5AP - I need to have that 5AP to wear that piece of equipment? Seems that that number is not a penalty as it doesn't reduce my total action points in battle.
