Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Só Dança BL194 Rava fit compared to street shoe sizes?
The Só Dança BL194 Rava is designed to fit true to street shoe size for most dancers. If you are between sizes or have a wider forefoot, sizing up by half a size is recommended. The open-toe construction provides some flexibility at the front of the foot.
What heel height does the Rava BL194 have, and is it suitable for beginners?
The Rava BL194 features a 2.5-inch shaped heel with a rubber cap for added grip and stability. This heel height is best suited for intermediate to advanced dancers who are comfortable dancing on a raised heel. Beginners may find a lower heel more appropriate for building technique.
What is the sole of the Só Dança BL194 made of, and what floors is it appropriate for?
The BL194 features a soft suede sole, which is the standard for ballroom and Latin dance shoes. Suede soles allow controlled gliding and spinning on sprung wood or hardwood dance floors. They are not intended for outdoor use or abrasive surfaces, which can damage the suede quickly.
How should I care for the leather upper and suede sole of the BL194?
The leather upper of the BL194 should be wiped clean with a slightly damp cloth and allowed to air dry away from direct heat. To maintain the suede sole's performance, brush it regularly with a suede brush to restore the nap. Store the shoes in a breathable bag to protect both the leather and the rhinestone buckle detail.
Can the Só Dança Rava BL194 be used for stage performances as well as social dancing?
Yes. The Rava BL194 is well suited for both stage performance and social dancing. The rhinestone buckle adds visual appeal under stage lighting, while the cushioned insole and structured heel support dancers through longer performances or social dance events.
Is the BL194 a final sale item, and what does that mean for returns?
Yes, the Só Dança BL194 Rava is a final sale item. This means it cannot be returned or exchanged once purchased. Só Dança recommends reviewing the size chart carefully and considering your fit preferences before ordering to ensure the correct size is selected.
