Ballroom shoes are like any high fashion shoes, but the bottom is different. It's a suede leather bottom, because they need to turn. When I say leather bottom, it's not a hard leather bottom or a rubber bottom like pedestrian street shoes would be. It's brush suede like a ballet slipper. The shoe bends and is more flexible. They are the same shoes that are used for salsa, tango, the waltz, or the flamenco. They're very comfortable and very pretty. Some people wear them with their wedding dress because they can be worn for hours.Irish dance shoes just have a different kind of tap. We don't currently manufacture them, but we can make just about anything if you ask.
