DON’T LET YOUR SHOES WEAR OUT!!!!!

Ok, so I recently started having trouble with foot pain.   The entire ball of my right foot was bruised and felt like it had been beaten with a stick.   I took a couple of weeks off from dance to let it heal and it did, but as soon as I went back I started hurting again.  It wasn’t long before I could barely walk. 

Being the bright and perceptive person that I am, it only took me a matter of weeks to figure out that my shoes were worn out.    ok….not so bright, not so perceptive. 

I had actually worn all the suede off the bottom and most of the sole as well.   I was very upset.  I loved those shoes.  Although not much to look at they were perfectly broken in with just the right amount of slide on the floor.   It was like they weren’t even there.   Well, they pretty much weren’t. 

One new pair of dance shoes later and guess what happened?  Yep,  the pain and bruising went away.   I honestly think it was a coincidence but that’s just my humble opinion.

Anyway,  check your shoes and replace them as needed.  I’m finding I get just under a year out of my shoes, but your mileage may vary.

Argentine Tango Shoes

 Proper shoes for a dancer are just as important as the right footwear for any athlete.  But they can look great too!!!

Dreaming of Tango Shoes

Tango fashion is just as much fun as tango dancing, and tango shoes are a key element in a milonguera’s wardrobe. Would that my middle-aged feet could still wear some of these sexy stilettos which are often found in 3 1/2 to 4 inch heel heights.
