Low Heel Ballroom Dance Shoes

Whether for salsa, tango, fox trot, swing or waltzing, low heel ballroom dance shoes allow for ease of movement and both physical and mental comfort. You can dance longer before your feet start to swell and you don’t have to worry about twisting an ankle. There are a variety of lower heel shoes available that are pretty and sexy, so you don’t have to sacrifice looks for comfort.

Low heel shoes look great on the dance floor.

While it’s always better to try shoes on before buying, especially shoes that are going to be getting a hard workout like ballroom dancing shoes, many of the best shoes, as well as the best bargains, can only be found through online shops. Unless you live in a city with shops that specifically cater to dancers, you will probably have little choice but to buy online. The good news is that online stores that specialize in dancewear understand that it’s hard to get exactly what you want on the first try and will work closely with you to get the shoe that you need.

At Ballroom Dancing Shoe, a discount outlet, several attractive low heel ballroom dance shoes are offered in either a closed or open toed style. Closed toe shoes include:

• Tan Leather Shoe. A very basic single-strap suede shoe.
• Black Nubuck Shoe. A shoe that brings sass and sophistication to the dance floor with its saddle-shoe look that is perfect for jazzy dancing.
• Gold Sparklenet Shoe. Bring some glitter and glow to your feet and the floor with a T-strap shoe in silver with gold trim.
• Light Brown Shoe. Very pretty with a long cross strap.

Latin style shoes include:

• Satin Two Buckle Shoe. With an ankle strap and quick release buckles. Comes in black, light brown and red.
• Black Sparkle Shoe. Sleek with a sparkly front and long cross strap.
• Black Strappy Sandal. In leather or nubuck suede, this T-strap shoe is sleek and sexy.
• Red Sparkle Shoe. The perfect example of a low heel shoe that packs in plenty of va-va-voom. With red sparkly straps over the front and crossing round the ankles.

Please note that all the shoes tend to run wide. This can be useful, as feet spread while dancing, but overall, these are not good shoes for narrow feet.

At Ballroom Connection, you can find the Stephanie Latin series in low heels in either sleek strappy sandals or cute cross-strap designs.

Also of note are the Celebrity Spectator Shoes. In bone leather or pink and white, these charming shoes, very reminiscent of the 1920s and 1930s, are great for practice, swing or social dancing.

For swing, Lindy and other high-energy ballroom dances, you want a shoe that looks the part but will also be comfortable and sturdy.

Remix Vintage Shoes specializes in vintage reproduction shoes and caters almost exclusively to swing dancers, so you can feel confident that all their shoes will keep you feeling good till the club closes for the night. The shoes are so cute and unique, you’ll find yourself wearing them on the street as well. Some of their styles include:

• 1940s Wedgies. They’ve got strappy sandals, spectators, sporty lace-ups and two-tone vamp shoes, all in classic colors and color combos.
• Classic Saddle Shoes. When a low heel isn’t low enough and you want something flat and strong, yet still sassy and looking the part, you need the ultimate black and white oxford saddle shoe. You can still find them in vintage shops, but for dancing, you want a new pair that will mold specifically to your feet.

You’ll find a lot of the same shoes at many online shops, so it’s worth your while to search for the best price, as well as a shop you feel comfortable working with, because a serious ballroom dancer will need new shoes again soon. Some other sites worth looking at are:
