Why Can’t I Just Use My Existing Formal, Lifestyle or Sports Shoes?
Typical formal and lifestyle footwear designs, while often stylish, are not built for dancing. These types of shoes are often rigid and bulky, restricting movement in your toes, arches and ankles. They often feature wood, leather or rubber soles, which are either too slippery or too sticky for most dance floors. These designs – especially slip-ons, sling-backs and platforms – do not hug your feet and provide little in the way of support and security, which can often lead to foot, ankle and knee injuries when performing dance movements.
Most Sports shoes are still too rigid for the needs of a dancer and tend to restrict movement. They typically feature rubber soles, which will keep you glued to most dance floors. Not to mention that your typical sports shoes are too informal and will not compliment that chic outfit you want to wear to Dance Party.
Why Is Skydance Awesome?
Besides the aforementioned points… Before launch Skydance shoes were thoroughly prototyped and tested for over one year by experienced, professional dancers to ensure top quality materials, construction, fit and performance. Even after launching Skydance, the testing/improvement loop continues, and recent improvements now incorporate customers’ feedback.
Skydance stands behind its products and will readily replace shoes that do not meet our standards of quality.
How Should I Maintain My Dance Shoes?
Maintenance for your Skydance shoes is essential to a long life. Your Skydance shoes’ most delicate and important feature is the Suede Soles, and you must protect and clean them.
- Protect the Suede Soles by only using your Skydance shoes on Dance floors or smooth clean surfaces. Never wear your Skydance shoes on the street, instead carry your Skydance shoes in the included shoe bag to your dance destination and then switch into them.
- Clean and revive the Suede soles after each use. Dancers typically use a hard-wire suede brush to remove dirt and muck and to lift the nap of the Suede. For more detailed cleaning, you can also use a combination of nylon, crepe and brass suede brushes.
Beyond the Suede Sole, also consider…
- Using Shoe Trees to help maintain the shape of your shoes. Cedar shoe trees also remove excess moisture.
- Cleaning, Conditioning and Polishing your leather shoes regularly. Satin, mesh and sparkle net can be cleaned with soap and water.
