    found an interesting practice shoe

    The balls of my feet are kind of sensitive (part of the reason I started wearing shoes for class). I had a jazz boot I liked, but they quit making it -- part of why I liked it was because it had a smooth flat sole across the ball of the foot. The pleating and little inset soles on most ballet and jazz shoes really bothers me.

    ANYWAY I just bought a pair of these:

    Salsette I Shoe - Sansha - Dancewear Solutions

    It's a shoe by Sansha called the "Salsette". It's like a sneaker that's had the sole replaced with a flat suede sole! Clearly this will be a bummer on a carpeted floor, but on a smooth floor I think they will be great!

    They do indeed run small, so I concur with the website on that. One review I read recommended them for Zumba, and my knees are regretfully thinking that, indeed, they would have been wonderful for that.

    Ooooh, interesting. And you really can't beat that price!

    Will you give us a review when you get them and have a shot?

    Thank you so much, I'll check if they ship to Canada, if so, I'll order a pair for sure.

    My feet are the pits!,m:: I have a Morton's Neuroma on my right foot (and a bunion!..c::) and lately it's been killing me when I practice classic Egyptian sharqi!..cr.:..cr.:

    So if I understand the description if I wear size 8 street shoes I have to order a size 9 and a half?

    Well, in a dance shoe I normally buy a 7 or a 7 1/2. I bought an 8 and they just fit. I probably could have gone up another half size, but it appears they are only making whole sizes.

    I ordered one pair as well. I have some split sole slippers that needed to be replaced, but I need more support than a slipper. I'll be curious to see how these work out.
