Details

'Contra Pro' is an enhanced version of our 'Contra' and our most popular design for Ballroom and it is so because of its blend of flexibility, comfort and style. It features a unique sole design where the sole material wraps around the inside edge of the big toe which ensures smoother movement when using the inside of the foot, protecting the integrity of the material finish. It's lightweight and features specially developed arch padding which helps with foot alignment and comfort. There is also padding under the heel to cushion each step and gel padding runs all the way through the insole. Offering an adaptive fit profile, this model caters to all requirements with multiple width options. Many Professional and Amateur Ballroom World finalists choose this shoe!

Materials + Care

Materials & Care

Dance shoes are specialist footwear, designed for performance, flexibility, and comfort rather than everyday outdoor wear.

Materials and finishes vary by style and are detailed in the product description where relevant. Uppers may include leather, satin, nubuck, or specialist synthetic materials, with suede soles commonly used for controlled movement on dance floors.

Care guidance:
• For indoor use only on appropriate dance surfaces
• Avoid outdoor wear, moisture, and rough flooring
• Brush suede soles regularly with a suede brush to maintain grip
• Wipe uppers gently with a soft, dry cloth after use
• Allow shoes to air naturally between wears; avoid direct heat

Proper care will help preserve the appearance, performance, and lifespan of your dance shoes.
