Frequently Asked Questions
What heel height does the Só Dança Rikki BL162 have?
The Só Dança Rikki BL162 features a 2.5-inch heel with a rubber heel cap for stability and floor grip during turns and footwork.
Is the Rikki BL162 available in wide width?
Yes, the Rikki BL162 is available in both medium and wide widths, and sizes range from 4.0L through 13.0L in adult sizing, making it accessible to a broad range of foot shapes.
How does the strap system on the Rikki BL162 work?
The Rikki BL162 uses satin straps supported by breathable mesh panels, positioned to reduce pressure on the toes and prevent bunion discomfort. The main strap threads through the sole under the arch so dancers can customize the fit, and the rhinestone buckle clips securely without requiring traditional strap threading.
What type of sole does the Só Dança Rikki BL162 have, and is it suitable for ballroom floors?
The Rikki BL162 has a suede sole, which is the standard for ballroom and Latin dance shoes. Suede provides the right amount of slip and grip to execute smooth turns, pivots, and quick directional changes on hardwood or sprung dance floors.
How should I care for the suede sole on the Rikki BL162?
To maintain optimal performance, brush the suede sole regularly with a small wire suede brush to restore texture and remove debris. Avoid wearing the shoes on outdoor or rough surfaces, as this will wear down the suede prematurely. Store them in a shoe bag when not in use.
What colors are available, and are any colors considered final sale?
The Rikki BL162 is available in Black, Burgundy, Salmon, Champagne, and Copper. Champagne, Copper, and Salmon are designated final sale colors and cannot be returned or exchanged, so dancers should confirm sizing carefully before purchasing those colorways.
