newheeler Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 I was wondering if anybody have them (man's dance shoe with about 1.5"-1.3/4" cuban heels.) Are they wearable outside or is it rather for dance floors? How difficult are they to handle? Don't worry, be happy - in heels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobHH Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 If they are really ballroom dance shoes, they probably have a thin suede leather sole, so they won't slip on a polished dance floor. And the uppers are fairly thin, also, as they are light weight. They wouldn't hold up too well for street wear. I have some, but have never worn them, but a lot of better dancers do. I just wear the regular dance shoes. People carry their dance shoes in a shoe bag and change at the dance places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puffer Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I've only just seen this thread, so a late response. There are plenty of men's cuban heeled slip-on shoes available (typically about 1.75" high) that are very similar to Latin dance shoes but intended for normal street wear. If you Google you will find them readily. I have a pair which are very comfortable and can be worn anywhere apart from very formal occasions. .As BobHH says, true dance shoes are of lighter construction and with non-slip soles.
