Sizes

Ballroom Dance by []NEEL[], via Flickr

Dance shoes are typically made and sold in European sizes, which are generally 1.5 sizes smaller than American sizes. This is not always true, so check size charts carefully if you're doing ordering online.

Maintaining Your Dance Shoes

Tiny stones, like ss16, ss12, ss10 look best on shoes!

Heels protector perform three important tasks, they protect the floor, they give you more traction, and they protect the heels of your shoes. The little heels tips on your shoes wear out quickly, and replacing them will cost $5 or more. When they wear out, they expose the nails that attached them to the shoes. Plastics heels protector will prolong the life of your shoes ( and your investment ).

Shoes brush- Suede soles lose their naps after the couple of mouth ( more often if you wear them outside of the ballroom ). Buy a steel- bristled shoe brush with a handle to refresh the nap in your shoes. These are available at dance shoes vendors, or you can buy a steels " file brush " from a hardware store ( the kind that used to clean the grit out of the files ). Be sure to get the handle with a good grip, to prevent damage to your skin from contact with sharp bristles.

Scotchguard- Ladies, if you buy satin shoes, used some SCOTCH GUARD or other fabric protector on them before you wear them. They are very difficult to clean after they are getting dirty.

How to Choose Ballroom Dance Shoes?

What Was The Difference Between Ballroom Dance Shoes And The Regular Shoes?

This GEM SOLE(arch-deco) for Salsa shoes. ~by Diferente original.

The biggest difference is the soles. Ballroom shoes have a thin, suede sole. The allows the shoes to glide on the dancing floor, with just right amount of grip. Ballroom shoes are also very flexible, allowing the movement necessary to show off your dancing technique. In competition, women will wear tan or fresh- coloured shoes, to extend the look of the leg, and not call too much attention to the feet.

What Are The Types Of The Ballroom Dance Shoes?

The only thing better than shoes?  DANCE shoes! #danceRAL FALL OVERSTOCK SHOE SALE!! Women's-$50 Men's-$60 $10 OFF Celebrity Shoes All Shoe Sales are FINAL From Now until Saturday, October 5th!

The three basic types are Latin, Standard ( also called " Court " or " Modern " ) and Practice shoes. Shoes should be selected not only for appearance but for comfort, support, performance and protection. Some women prefer the closed- toe- shoes, because they offer some protection against being stepped on, and they shield your toenails from your partner's shoes.

If you buy a pair of insoles, you can probably double the number of hours you can dance in comfort. The best insoles are the one sold for running shoes. Avoid the " gel " kinds, because their squishy nature voids much for the precision contact you need with the floor.

Latin shoes for women was typically an opened-toed sandal with a heel from 1 to 3 inch high. The standard heel height is 2.5 inches. If high heel hurt, try adding arch support. If you only buy one type of shoes, it is generally recommended that you start with the Latin sandal.

Men's Latin Ballroom Shoes

STUNNING BALLROOM DANCING

Men's Latin shoes have what is called a Cuban Heel that is 1.5 inches high. Most men only wear Latin shoes for competition, and you do not see men wearing them often for social dancing outside of the ballroom.

Standard shoes for women are closed- toed pumps. The heel is positioned more centrally under the foot than a Latin sandal's, in order to ease backward movement.

Men's standard shoes are usually a black oxford- style- laced- up with a heel comparable to regular dress shoes. Men, if you only purchase one type of shoes, it should be the standard.

Practice shoes are optional. Women's practice shoes resemble a man's standard shoe with a higher heel. You can also buy dance sneakers that have suede soles.
