Care for you Ballroom Dancing Shoe

Author: dreams of dancing

dance.jpgWith gentlemen’s and ladie’s closed-toe styles of ballroom dance shoes, the toes must be as close to the ends as possible without actually rubbing the ends. With any kind of open toe ballroom dance shoes, the toes must totally cover the soles of the shoes. In fact, it is best if the toes actually hang over the edges of the shoes by up to 1/4 inch. You will need to purchase new shoes if they have stretched so much that your feet slip inside them. When your feet are able to move inside your dance shoes, the quicker the shoes will stretch, get out of shape or totally wear out.  You may need to buy ballroom dances shoes narrow width or ballroom dances shoes wide width.
Leather shoes should be polished often and regularly so that they don’t look scuffed. In order to keep the suede soles from accumulating wax and dirt from the dance floors, you will need to brush them often. Wax buildup and dirt particles from the floor are attracted to the soft suede soles which cause them to wear out. For patent leather shoes, polish them with a silicone oil to keep them from cracking and sticking.
Do Not wear your ballroom dance shoes outside as they should be for dancing purposes only. They will wear out extremely fast and not function as well if you wear them outside. Ballroom dancing shoes are a vital part of your dance attire, and should only be used as such.
