Ballroom dancing can be very exciting and fun, but as with anything else in life, you need to make sure you are safe and comfortable while doing it. Wearing the best open toed ballroom dance shoes will make sure you are both. Street (ordinary daily shoes, loafers, dress or even sports shoes) shoes are good for every day wear, of sitting and standing and walking about short distances. Shoes made pacifically for ballroom dancing are designed for the comfort of standing mainly on the balls of your feet and moving around the floor. They are padded where they need to be padded for that kind of wear.
Seriously, you should not ballroom dance on a regular basis without wearing the required footwear. Just as you would not do any task without the appropriate equipment.
