We want you to be happy with your new shoes,
so please try them on a clean, soft surface to prevent soiling
of the suede soles. SHOES WITH SOILED SOLES OR SHOES
WHICH HAVE BEEN USED ON A HARD SURFACE CANNOT BE RETURNED FOR
CREDIT OR EXCHANGE.
Try both shoes on as one foot is normally a different
length and shape than the other.
Dance shoes are generally worn smaller than you
would wear your regular street shoes. They must always fit
snugly without hurting so you maintain proper balance on the
dance floor. This means that all parts of the shoes should
be covered by your feet. If your feet can move easily inside
the shoes, you cannot properly control your balance or your
dance posture.
In closed-toe styles
(ladies and men's), the toes should be as close to the end
of the shoes as is possible without actually rubbing. In
the sandals, the toes should completely cover the soles of
the shoes and it is preferable if the toes actually "hang over the edges" of
the shoes just a bit (up to 1/4 inch.)
When the shoes begin to stretch enough to allow
feet to slip inside them, invest in a pair of foam inner soles
and use them. The more your feet can move inside dance shoes,
the faster the shoes will stretch, become misshapen and wear
out.
Be sure to polish leather shoes regularly to
keep them from looking scuffed and brush the suede soles of
your shoes to keep them free of wax build-up from the dance
floors. The wax causes soles to wear faster and clings to small
dirt particles that can cause the soft suede soles to wear
away. Use a silicon oil or polish to keep patent shoes from
sticking and cracking.
NEVER
WEAR YOUR DANCE SHOES OUTSIDE AS LONG AS YOU WILL BE USING
THEM AS DANCE SHOES. The beautiful shoes you buy are made by skilled craftsmen,
balanced and especially made for dancing. They are a necessary
accessory of
the dance and will make your dancing far more enjoyable.
