alonewiththemoonI cannot believe the difference between $70 Capezio character shoes and $120 Rummos professional ballroom shoes. The steel shank support in the Rummos is amazing, the ankle strap is very stabilizing, and my feet feel light and agile. Sweet! If the improvement in quality is directly correlated with price, I can definitely see why people spend what seems to be the average prices of $180-$240 for ballroom dance shoes.
BTW if anybody in the Boston area is looking to make any major dance supply purchases, Dancewear, on Mass Ave between Hines/ICA and Symphony Hall, is having a 25 percent off everything sale. The Lebanese owner also told me that he is going to Lebanon soon and hopes to bring back some mid-level belly dance costumes, since he's realized there's a market for it here. He used to dance in a Lebanese troupe alongside belly dancers and so is very belly dance friendly, unlike the previous owners of Dancewear who I found sneered at us as not real dancers. Anyway, two thumbs up for Dancewear.
