• Define what line dance will you do. Each type of dance has they own etiquettes and dance shoes. Check our guide on the perfect dancewear for each style of dance.
• Then define what type of shoes you like? Modern? Street wear? Classical shoes? Plain colours?
• Are you a beginner? or an advance dancer? If you are a beginner, always go for a lower heel like a cuban heels 5cm or a flared heel 7cm.
• Measure your feet in cm or inches, and follow our guide on the different heels size and shape. You want your shoes to be tight, so they support your feet properly, while dancing and executing some complicated moves!
• Are you planning to dance indoor or outdoor? Indoor, we will recommend you to get a suede sole dance shoes! However, Suede sole can not be worn outside!
• Make sure to choose a shoes with a good arch support and ankle support. As well as a cushion insoles. We recommend you to use the T-bar dance shoes for maximum support.
• Finally, how often are you planning to go dancing? If it is once a week, one pair of dance shoes is good. However, if you are planning to go out often, we will recommend you to buy more than one pair and alternate them to make sure your shoes stay in good condition longer!

Does dance shoes matter?

Yes, they absolutely do! We wrote an article here on why dance shoes matter.

But in a nutshell, it helps you prevent any injuries. A common one is plantar fasciitis. It is very common to athlete and dancers that. are extremely active but do not stretch enough. Plantar fasciitis feels like a sharp pain under the foot towards the heels. And every step you take will feel painful. To avoid that, we highly recommend wearing good quality dance shoes like ours. Tap shoes, dance sneakers, ballet shoes, pointe shoes, split sole, suede sole, ballroom dance shoes, Latin dance shoes, jazz shoes, etc. Those are essential and will make a big difference in your dancing life!

Do I need to buy separate pairs of shoes for each routine?

You don't have to buy separate shoes for each routine. However, the dance instructor will often ask for a certain colour or style of dance shoes that would match the costume and outfits.

This will depends to your dance instructor and the level of show performed. The more advance shows usually required some very shinny shoes like our competition dance shoes.

If you just use them occasionally and to go social dance, we will recommend two pairs as a start! One Paire of shoes during classes and another one during your social dance night!

Do I need to break in my new line dancing shoes?

Dancing is a great way to get your heart rate up and release endorphins - the good kind! However, dancing in shoes that are not properly fitted can lead to injuries down the line. That's why it's important to break in your new line dancing shoes before you start dancing. To do this, gradually increase the amount of time you spend practicing each day with your new shoes. When it comes to finding the best line dancing shoes, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Take into account your dance style, shoe size, and budget before making a purchase.
