What is so different about Ballo dance shoes?
Ballo dance shoes are designed by dancers with the utmost comfort in mind and the the most original, fashionable looks of the day. We spend a lot of time in Research & Development and do not simply copy others' shoes. Our shoes are developed from the ground up as dance shoes and are tested before being sent to manufacture. They are unique in their use of a wedge-shaped midsole.

Why A Wedge-Shaped Sole?
The shoe was designed with a one-piece wedge sole so as to maximize the contact surface of the shoe with the dance floor. This increases a dancer’s stability and keeps one’s center of gravity in contact with the floor at all times. This design also allows for a reinforced arch to be built into the sole for greater comfort and less foot fatigue.

Are Ballo shoes a revolution or an evolution?
Ballo shoes are made entirely of lightweight suede and leathers. Padding in the tongue, insoles, sides and collar result in a dance shoe with the comfort of a sneaker.  As a dance shoe, it has a suede sole for smooth and stable turns but we gave our shoes a small rubber heel for stopping traction and better control. The result; an evolution/revolution of the dance shoe because not only are they comfortable and fashionable, but also unisex. Ballo dance shoes are an idea that cross the established norms for dance shoes. Function and form are hand in hand.

How do I care for my Ballo Dance Shoes?
You care for your Ballo Dance Shoes as you would any dance shoe. You should brush the suede sole with a strong bristled dance shoe brush to keep the nap raised when you see the sole becoming smooth and slippery. Ballo Dance Shoes have a thicker than average sole and can take a vigorous scrubbing without wearing them thin. A small amount of oil, such as Castor Oil will also help raise the nap on the soles. Do a bit of brushing after the oil is well absorbed. The Castor oil will also help to stop you from sliding on a very slick floor.

Can I wash my Ballo Dance Shoes in the washing machine?
No.

Can I wear my Ballo Dance Shoes to walk around outdoors?
No, the shoes were designed to be used on dry, indoor surfaces.
