Thread: Ballroom shoe resource

I desperately need some new ballroom shoes. Does anyone have a good, inexpensive resource?

Lots of good recommendations here - http://www.bhuz.com/showthread.php/4...le+dance+shoes I have ordered a couple times from AppleDanceShoes.com (Very Fine brand) and have been happy with them. Most are around $60, but I see they have a premium line that runs about $85. Look for comments/reviews for sizing tips. For me, they are pretty true-to-size.

Oh, thanks! The archive link was very helpful. Don't know why I didn't think to search there first. Duh.

I really like Sansha shoes, though finding a distributor can sometimes be difficult. I have ordered Sansha character shoes online from New York Dance Store (I think that's what it was called; the website wasn't great but the shoes did arrive in good time). They are not as well-known for ballroom and other shoes (started as a pointe shoe company), and that's partly why they are cheaper than other brands right now, but I quite like them. Most of the shoes are genuine leather upper and sole. I'm leery about going with an unknown brand, since with ballroom shoes you often do get what you pay for...

Sansha's new catalog shows some beautiful styles, but I have not seen those online yet so it may take a bit for stores to actually get the stock. ?

I recently ordered from http://www.exoticsalsashoes.com/ and I really like my new shoes. The shipping was super fast too.

Oooh! These look like Very Fine shoes at about $10 less than what Apple Dance Shoes is charging.

Yes, they are. most of them at least. I think they have another brand but it's mostly Very Fine.

For quality, elegant design and long wear, I love Supadanse.
For price, I love Jig Foo ("discovered" them in Hong Kong. Can buy on line & ebay) But don't get the Jig Foo ballet shoes unless your feet are super wide :/
