Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Só Dança Radost BL106 fit, and should I size up or down?
The Radost BL106 is designed to fit true to street shoe size for most dancers. The elastic gore panels provide a snug, adaptive fit, so dancers with a wider foot should select the Wide width option rather than sizing up. If you are between sizes, sizing up by a half size is generally recommended to allow comfortable movement without pinching.
Is the Só Dança BL106 available in wide widths?
Yes. The Radost BL106 is offered in both Medium and Wide widths, making it accessible to dancers with broader feet who still want a sleek, professional ballroom silhouette.
What type of flooring is the suede sole on the BL106 designed for?
The soft suede sole on the Só Dança BL106 is designed for smooth hardwood or sprung dance floors commonly found in ballrooms and dance studios. Suede soles provide the controlled glide needed for smooth footwork while still allowing the friction required for clean breaks, turns, and direction changes. Wearing suede-soled shoes on outdoor or rough surfaces will damage the sole and reduce performance.
How should I care for the leather upper and suede sole of the BL106?
Wipe the leather upper with a soft, lightly damp cloth after use and allow the shoe to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Condition the leather periodically with a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness. Brush the suede sole with a suede brush before and after dancing to restore the nap and maintain optimal grip and glide performance. Store the shoes in a breathable bag away from moisture.
Can the Só Dança Radost BL106 be used for both Latin and Ballroom dancing?
Yes. The BL106 is a versatile slip-on ballroom shoe suitable for both ballroom and Latin social dancing. Its flexible leather construction and suede sole support the footwork demands of multiple dance styles. For competitive Latin or ballroom performance at an advanced level, dancers may prefer a style with more heel structure, but for studio practice and social dancing the BL106 performs well across disciplines.
How does the Só Dança BL106 compare to lace-up ballroom shoes?
The Radost BL106 uses elastic gore panels instead of laces to secure the shoe to the foot, making it faster to put on and take off and eliminating the risk of laces coming undone during a dance. The elastic gores conform closely to the foot for a secure fit. Lace-up styles offer more adjustable tension across the instep, which some dancers with a high or narrow instep prefer. The BL106 is a strong choice for dancers who prioritize ease of entry and consistent fit without adjustment.
