Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Só Dança BL180 Rabah fit compared to street shoes?
The BL180 Rabah is designed to fit true to size for most dancers. Because it features a medium width and an adjustable arch strap that slides through the sole, you can fine-tune the fit for a snug, secure feel. If you are between sizes or have a wider forefoot, sizing up by a half size is recommended.
What heel height does the Só Dança BL180 have, and is it suitable for beginners?
The BL180 features a sturdy 1.5-inch heel with a rubber cap for added stability. This heel height is considered low and is well-suited for intermediate dancers, though it is also accessible for newer dancers who are comfortable dancing in a modest heel. The cushioned insole provides extra support during extended wear.
How does the rhinestone buckle on the BL180 work?
The BL180 uses a rhinestone easy-buckle system where the buckle slips directly onto a clip rather than threading through a traditional hole. This means you can put the shoe on and take it off quickly without fussing with a strap, making it a practical choice for performers and social dancers alike.
Can the BL180 be worn for Latin ballroom dancing as well as standard ballroom?
Yes. The suede sole provides the smooth glide needed for both Latin and standard ballroom styles. The open-toe design and adjustable strap also give the foot a clean line that works well across multiple ballroom disciplines and cabaret or Broadway-style performances.
How should I care for the suede sole on the Só Dança BL180?
To maintain the suede sole's smooth glide, brush it lightly with a suede brush before and after use to remove debris and restore the nap. Avoid wearing the shoes on outdoor or rough surfaces, as this will wear down the suede prematurely. Store the shoes in a shoe bag to protect the satin upper and sole.
Is Burgundy a final sale color for the BL180, and what other colors are available?
Yes, Burgundy is a final sale color for the BL180 Rabah and cannot be returned or exchanged. The shoe is also available in Champagne and Black, which are standard stocking colors. All three options are made from satin with the same rhinestone buckle and suede sole construction.
