Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Só Dança BA42 Mischa Turner come in?
The BA42 is available in sizes XS through XL and fits both children and adults. It comes in Medium and Wide width options to accommodate different foot shapes.
How do the double elastics on the BA42 work?
The BA42 features two elastics that can be worn in different configurations. You can position them around the heel for a more secure hold during jumps and turns, or wear them across the top of the instep for a different fit and feel. This flexibility makes the shoe adaptable to individual dancer preferences.
What is the difference between the BA42 and the BA41 Malibu?
The BA42 Mischa Turner is made from leather, while the BA41 Malibu is constructed from stretch canvas. Leather offers durability and a smooth finish, whereas stretch canvas provides a softer, more form-fitting feel. The choice between the two typically comes down to personal preference and the style of dance.
What colors is the Só Dança BA42 available in?
The BA42 is available in Sand and Pink 40, two of the most common nude-tone options used in ballet, contemporary, and lyrical dance settings.
How should I care for the leather on the BA42 Mischa Turner?
To extend the life of the leather upper, wipe the shoe clean with a slightly damp cloth after each use and allow it to air dry away from direct heat. Avoid soaking the leather, as this can cause it to warp or harden. The suede sole can be brushed lightly to maintain grip on studio floors.
Is the BA42 suitable for floorwork and contemporary dance?
Yes. The suede sole on the BA42 provides controlled slip and grip on most studio floors, making it well suited for contemporary and lyrical styles that involve floorwork, turns, and barefoot-style movement. The leather construction also helps protect the toes from floor abrasion during extended practice.
