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.
