Frequently Asked Questions
What heel height does the Só Dança Candice CH02 adult character shoe have?
The Só Dança Candice CH02 features a 1.25-inch tapered heel. This height provides a slight lift suitable for character and theatrical dance styles while maintaining stability during turns, leaps, and extended rehearsals.
What widths are available for the Candice CH02 adult character shoe?
The Candice CH02 adult character shoe from Só Dança is available in both Medium and Wide widths, making it a practical option for dancers with different foot shapes. If you are between widths, Só Dança recommends sizing up and selecting Wide for a more comfortable fit.
What materials are used in the Só Dança Candice CH02?
The Candice CH02 features a premium soft leather upper and a suede sole. The leather upper offers durability and a clean stage appearance, while the suede sole provides the controlled slip-and-grip surface that character dancers require for turning and footwork.
How should I care for the Candice CH02 leather and suede sole?
To maintain the leather upper, wipe the shoe down with a soft damp cloth and allow it to air dry away from direct heat. The suede sole should be brushed regularly with a suede brush to restore texture and maintain proper traction on dance floors. Avoid wearing the shoes outdoors, as this will wear down the suede sole prematurely.
Is the Só Dança Candice CH02 suitable for musical theatre and recitals?
Yes. The Candice CH02 is designed specifically for stage use and is well-suited for musical theatre productions, recitals, and character dance performances. Its classic silhouette, adjustable instep strap, and flexible shank make it a reliable choice for dancers who need freedom of movement alongside a polished stage look.
How does the Candice CH02 adult size compare to the child version?
The Candice CH02 is available in both adult and child sizing. The adult version ranges from size 4.0L through 13.0L and is designed to fit the proportions of teen and adult dancers. The child version is sized separately for younger dancers. Both versions share the same core construction, including the leather upper, suede sole, and adjustable instep strap.
