Ballroom dancing shoes for men?

Hi!


I%26#039;m just wondering an easy way to reduce the friction on the bottom of men%26#039;s dress shoes. I have dress shoes with rubber soles and I want to use them for ballroom dancing.


I%26#039;m just trying to get out of buying expensive ballroom dance shoes...


Thanks!

Reply:Not possible. There is a reason why ballroom shoes are ballroom shoes, and street shoes are street shoes. They are designed for different kind of movement.





I%26#039;ve seen people glue suede on the bottom, dancing in them once and then buying real shoes. You don%26#039;t feel the floor in them. Unless it%26#039;s the right kind of suede, it ends up being too slippery and wears out too quickly.





It%26#039;s not just the traction that differs ballroom shoes from street shoes. It%26#039;s the tighter fit and flexibility that allows you to dance well.


Proper shoes will protect your ankles from injuries.


Finally, here is a reason that will outrage you: when you guys approach us ladies for a dance, we look at your shoes if we don%26#039;t know you. If you wear anything else than ballroom shoes, we come up with an excuse to say no. Because you will step on our feet, you won%26#039;t be able to move well and it won%26#039;t be fun. ;-)
Reply:First off, please ensure your soles are non-marking. I hate seeing scuffed up floors... sorry.





I%26#039;m trying to think of a quality way to get a good dance shoe out of your situation... for quality you%26#039;re going to need to buy some new shoes, buddy.
Reply:Ain%26#039;t happenin%26#039;. Even if you went to the ridiculous extreme of gluing suede soles on them, you still wouldn%26#039;t get the proper feel for the floor. You can buy some decent shoes for around $80. Just bite the bullet and get the things.
