I recommend TicTacToes - check out all the dancing shoes they have
available at TicTacToes.com - I've bought quite a few pair from them,
and they are comfortable and have great suede/leather soles and all
sorts of styles and colors and widths. They have shoes for men and
women - they have them for all kinds of dancing, from ballroom to tap
to country Western. I can't dance in tennis shoes because since they
don't slip well I end up tweaking my right knee when doing buzz step
swings. And the prices are about usual for shoes.

Hi,
I am considering buying my first pair of shoes bought expressly for
contra
dancing. What do you recommend? What do you think of suede
soles? I need
good arch support. Whatever I buy would also need to be acceptable
to dance
organizers in need of protecting their venue's floors.
Thanks,
Rickey Holt.

I need to wear orthotics in my every day shoes for arch support.
So when I buy new shoes, I take the old pair, one that accommodates
the
orthotics, to a shoe clinic. I ask for "dance leather" (suede) to be
affixed to the bottoms of the shoes, but only from the toe to the arch
(not the heel). This way I have support and a great surface for
swinging. Costs me about $30.00. and I keep updating my dance
shoes as
I purchase new regular wear ones. (I wear SAS shoes. I used to
have a
pair of Rockports with which I did the same thing.)

I sent an earlier message off list -
Same goes for me.
In my case I buy a good supportive tennis shoe, but I have swede
put on the bottom of the whole shoe. It just works for me. And it
also costs about 30-40 depending on who you go to.
I have in the past put leather on a vinyl bottomed shoe.
Of course, if you have a pair of shoes that work for you - old
sneakers, just put duct tape on them. I did that for nine years.
It worked just fine.
