Finding A Good Dance Shoe To Meet Your Needs

Whether one aspires to be on stage on one of the many talent shows or to compete

in your local ballroom dancing competition, one needs to choose the right kind of dance shoe. A huge impact is made in one's learning experience and overall feel with the right dancing shoes.

Comfort, suitably and fit are the primary concerns. Style is secondary. The shoes will often be weighted very carefully for optimum performance.

The fit of the dance shoe shouldn't be too tight. Your foot shouldn't be able to move in your shoe, but not too tight to cut off circulation or to rub or squash toes. Make sure to try on the shoes with the same kind of socks you plan to use them with.

Choose a heel type which depending on the type of dance you plan on doing.

Get shoes with good straps. Poor straps mean less support and are more likely to stretch. Sometimes, one's toes goes through the straps and end up hitting the dance floor.

Make sure to choose high quality materials. Sometimes thin non-stretch synthetic straps sink into the skin causing swelling and resulting the shoe being tight and uncomfortable.

Open toe shoes are quite useful as they allow better air circulation to get to the feet. Another advantage brought on by open toe shoes is that they allow better balance. Of course, these may not offer enough protection for all dance forms.

When buying an open toed dance shoe, one must make sure that the shoe fits. If the shoe is too loose, one may end up with their toes on the floor. Too tight and it may end up cutting off blood circulation. To prevent this, either get a shoe that fits right, and granting this would be an impossibility, get a small toe insole and insert it into your shoe. The suede will prevent your foot from sliding out and will lessen perspiration.

Closed toe shoes on the other hand are quite useful when you are wearing stockings, when it is winter time, or if you know that your partner is likely to be stepping on your toes.

Bulky or chunky types of heels are not often conducive to dancing. When choosing a heel look at it from the bottom (sole facing you) and see what exactly the support of the heel is.

Get a good closed-in back unless you're an expert, in which case you must know what you're doing. This way, your shoe's heels will stay steady and you won't worry about them breaking when dancing.

Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between leather and synthetic materials.

Some synthetic shoes don't "breathe" well as leather shoes. Shoes that breathe better though are healthier for a foot which in turn increases comfort and reduces foot infections.

Investing in a good high quality leather dance shoe is a must if one intends ongoing dancer. Leather is soft and malleable, making them easier and more comfortable to wear as time passes by.
