Scenes of Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck dancing elegantly across the floor in “Roman Holiday” always make me want to take up ballroom dancing. Being swept away by a gorgeous guy, led across the room in his arms feature in many romantic dreams. But what would be the fate of those of us dancing with the wrong ballroom dance shoes?

Ballroom dance shoes need to fit many criteria. For one, and obviously, they need to be comfortable. No one is capable of dancing the waltz with shoes that pinch their feet. Ballroom dance shoes need to be able to hold your feet firmly so that when you are dancing with them, you don’t have to cling on to the shoes with you toes so they don’t slip off your feet. Ballroom dance shoes need to fit well and shouldn’t slip off mid-dance. Then they need to have the correct height of heels. Women’s ballroom dance shoes shouldn’t be too high, as this makes it difficult to dance confidently, and enjoy dancing. Although ballroom dance shoes need to have heels of a particular height, anything above that height will only cause discomfort, and may not allow the lady dance for too long. Despite the fact that ballroom dance shoes do need heels, wearing heels that are too high dramatically shortens the amount of time that they can be worn comfortably and could cause injury. Surprisingly, this applies to men too. Men need ballroom dance shoes that have a heel as well, but anything too short or too high will only make the pair of shoes too uncomfortable for the man to dance in. And comfort plays a huge role when ballroom dancing. Ballroom dance shoes can be store bought or custom made, depending on the preference of the individual and also the price range that you are looking for. Whether you buy your ballroom dance shoes at a store, or get them made especially for you depends on your budget and preferences. Store bought shoes come in standard designs, and so you are bound to end up with a pair of ballroom dance shoes that someone else you know owns as well. Custom made shoes are a tad bit more expensive as they are made to fit your feet perfectly, but they can be varied in design, and so will definitely stand out in the crowd as well.

When learning ballroom dancing, the dancing instructor always should make it a point to advice students on the proper kind of ballroom dance shoes they need to invest in, as after all ballroom dance shoes are an investment you make. The right ballroom dance shoes will be an added highlight to a perfect night.
