Can you wear leather soled shoes on regular walking surfaces?

Question

The shoes that I have just bought aren't specifically ballroom dancing shoes, but I plan to wear them to salsa clubs for amazing flawless spins, I'm just wondering if it is okay to wear them on surfaces like concrete etc... or I should take precautions and only put them on right before I step onto the dancefloor...any suggestions?

Answer 1

My wife wears leather-soled tango shoes. She *always* carrys the shoes in a shoe bag and changes shoes before dancing. Tango shoes have a hard sole, not a suede sole like ballroom dance shoes. Nevertheless, there are many concerns: not getting the soles of the shoes wet if it is raining or snowing, not getting excessive wear on sidewalks, etc.

If you are parked close to where you will be dancing, sure, wear the salsa shoes. However, if you are some distance from a bus stop or a subway station, you may want to carry the shoes. Your shoes may have a higher heel than your walking shoes, and if you are going to dance until 7 a. m. in the morning, you need to minimize the wear and tear not only to your shoes. In that case, wear comfortable shoes to travel -- then put on the dance shoes once you arrive.

Answer 2

If it's the type of soled shoes I think you're describing, I would NOT wear them on concrete - much like many skating rinks don't want you using Inline skates on their rink surface that you have used on the streets, but in reverse. The Concrete is liable to wear the bottoms long before their time, and meanwhile small bits of rock can get in there and cause you traction, while marring the dancefloor.

Answer 3

just use them on the dancefloor, concrete really damages any type of dance shoe. definatley practice in your shoes on a dance(or something similar) to a dance floor so your shoes are borken in. : )

Nope. some human beings, at the same time as they first bypass vegan, may placed on out their previous leather shoes and different non-vegan clothing products (grandmothering them in, because it were), and at the same time as they placed on out their leather products, replace with vegan products. it truly is quite the in basic terms way i will see vegans utilising leather products. some vegans do purchase secondhand, because it truly is no longer quite contributing to the marketplace, yet i imagine it sends a unusual message.

care on the part of the owner is the most important, it is not where or where not to use it
