Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Só Dança Robbie BL102 fit compared to street shoes?
The Robbie BL102 is designed to fit close to your street shoe size, but Só Dança recommends sizing down by half a size if you are between sizes, as the premium leather will mold and stretch slightly with wear. The shoe is available in both Medium and Wide widths to accommodate different foot shapes.
Is the Só Dança BL102 suitable for both ballroom and Latin dancing?
Yes. The Robbie BL102 is a versatile men's ballroom shoe well suited for both ballroom and Latin styles. The soft suede sole provides the right amount of glide for smooth footwork while still allowing enough grip to execute sharp turns and controlled stops.
What is the heel height on the Robbie BL102?
The Robbie BL102 features a low, stable heel appropriate for men's ballroom footwear. This heel height supports proper body alignment and weight distribution for ballroom and Latin technique without compromising comfort during extended practice or performance.
How should I care for the leather upper on the BL102?
Só Dança recommends wiping the leather upper with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove moisture and debris. Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or moisture, and store the shoes in a breathable bag between uses.
How do I maintain the suede sole on the Só Dança Robbie BL102?
The suede sole performs best when brushed regularly with a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. A clean, well-maintained suede sole provides consistent glide on sprung or hardwood dance floors. Avoid wearing the shoes on outdoor surfaces, as this will wear down the sole quickly and reduce its performance.
How does the Robbie BL102 compare to other men's ballroom shoes from Só Dança?
The Robbie BL102 stands out for its lace-up construction, which gives dancers a more customizable and secure fit across the entire foot compared to slip-on ballroom styles. The flexible premium leather upper and classic toe stitching detail make it a reliable choice for dancers who prioritize fit precision and a traditional aesthetic in both practice and competition settings.
