VF Dancesport Shoes has introduced a new line of dance shoes made especially with the competitive dancer in mind. At present, the line features just women’s styles with 9 Latin/Rhythm designs, 4 Standard and 2 Smooth models.
Some of the new innovations for the Competitive Dancer (CD) line are:
*Non-slip insole made with certified nano-fiber that deodorizes the shoes after long hours of dancing.
*Extra padded footbed using latest memory padding technology provides both comfort and long lasting.
*Extra thick memory padding designed to absorb shock and provides strong resistance against high pressure and pad deformation. It lasts average 10 times longer than other major brands.
*Special exterior fabrication/satin made for water/oil/dirt RESISTANCE (3R = 3 Resistance), and easier to clean than traditional satin used for dance shoes.
*Made with premium satin.
*Professional ultra soft suede outer sole makes it ultra light.
Reviews about the fit have overwhelmingly been to order the shoes a half size smaller than your regular American shoe size. Many dancers have preferred to order a half size smaller for a more snug fit and toe connection to the floor. Take note that if ordering a half size smaller, the width of the shoe will also be narrower.
Because of the extra padded footbed, they are very comfortable to wear and stand in, which is an attractive point for teachers who are required to wear heels all day. Brides might also appreciate this feature, and the 4 Standard styles are available in white as well as flesh satin, perfect for completing the wedding look. The Latin and Smooth models are available in dark tan satin and black satin.
Compared to the more expensive competitive brands, the CD line holds it’s own with styling and innovative features, all for a significant value. Many European brands start at around $150.00, while the CD line shoes are priced at under $100.00.
