                    BALLROOM SHOES  <S>

Shoe styles designed for social dance. Unless otherwise indicated, all are chrome (sueded) leather soled and ladie's styles generally have narrower lasts than similar theater dance styles. Consider for choral and concert ensembles. Many are suitable for 19th and 20thcentury dramatic and musical theater themes. The end of this file includes a few of the many custom styles, including some popularly associated with specific periods or nationalities. Request more detailed information, children's styles/sizes, exotic styles, and outfitting assistance.
1NOTE: Sn sizes 3 - 20, whole (no half) sizes and medium width only. Sn "International" sizing is numerically approximately 3 sizes larger than dance shoe size. Order about 2½ to 3 numbers larger than established ballroom size; i.e., try a Sn size 10 for established 7 to 7½ dance foot size.

HEEL STYLES:
Not all heel styles may be available for all shoe styles or identical from all manufacturers - ask.
