If you want to buy dancing shoes

Salsa Tip#2 from Tony
Some of you may feel that it is time to go for a new pair of dance shoes. I mean, this is totally something you feel!
If you’ve started feeling that even though you have the techniques, your turns are messed up because your feet literally swim in your shoes, or because you can’t rely on those strapless high heels, or because your shoe’s sole sticks to the floor, that’s the time for you to buy real dancing shoes.
There are two main categories of salsa appropriate dancing shoes: Casual and Formal.
Casual dance shoes: You want to wear these shoes for your classes, practices, and causal club nights. Formal dance shoes: these are the flashier, shinier shoes you wear at clubs. Many students use the same pair of shoes in the class as well. Previously you could only find formal shoes in open toe Latin models but now you can find them in various models even in boots.
