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. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Tue, 24 Jun 2008 15:10:20 -0500 From: "Mortland, Jo" &lt;j-mortland(a)neiu.edu&gt; Subject: Re: [Callers] Shoes To: "Caller's discussion list" &lt;callers(a)sharedweight.net&gt; Message-ID: &lt;9B0B0B8FF2328E48930D4B6273C1B2610CBD1CFE(a)EXNODE1.univ.neiu.edu&gt; Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" 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.)

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.
