Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Só Dança Bali SD18 come in?
The Só Dança Bali SD18 is designed specifically for larger adult feet and is available in sizes 12.0L through 15.0L. It comes in four widths: C, D, E, and EE, making it one of the few ballet flats built to accommodate a wide range of adult foot shapes.
Do the elastics on the SD18 need to be sewn on?
No sewing is required. The Só Dança Bali SD18 features pre-sewn crossed elastics that are ready to wear straight out of the box, saving dancers and parents preparation time before class or performance.
How does the SD18 differ from the SD16?
The Só Dança Bali SD18 is cut for larger adult sizes (12.0L to 15.0L) and replaces the traditional drawstring with an elastic casing for a cleaner silhouette. The SD16 (Bliss) is available in smaller adult sizes and child sizes. Both are stretch canvas split sole ballet shoes, but the SD18 is tailored to dancers who cannot be fitted in the standard SD16 size range.
What is the Bali SD18 made of?
The Só Dança Bali SD18 is constructed from stretch canvas, which conforms to the shape of the foot and allows for natural movement. The sole is split and finished in suede, providing the grip and flexibility needed for ballet technique work.
How should I care for my Só Dança Bali SD18 ballet shoes?
Canvas ballet shoes like the SD18 can typically be hand washed in cool water with a mild detergent and left to air dry away from direct heat. Machine washing on a gentle cycle in a mesh laundry bag is possible but may affect the shape over time. Avoid using a dryer, as heat can cause the canvas to shrink or warp.
Is there a vegan version of this ballet shoe available from Só Dança?
Só Dança offers a vegan ballet flat called the Verdi SD16VG, which is a separate style designed for dancers who prefer animal-free materials. The SD18 itself is a stretch canvas shoe; dancers interested in a vegan option should look for the SD16VG in the Só Dança lineup.
