Frequently Asked Questions
What heel height does the Só Dança Raeni BL184 have?
The Raeni BL184 features a 1.5-inch tapered heel, making it a low, stable option well suited for beginners, social dancers, and anyone who prefers a modest lift during ballroom or Latin practice.
How does the Raeni BL184 fit, and does it run true to size?
The Raeni BL184 is offered in medium width and is generally recommended to be ordered in your standard street shoe size. The wide elastic strap across the instep helps secure the fit, but dancers with a narrower foot may find the strap provides additional helpful structure.
What is the sole of the Raeni BL184 made of, and is it suitable for dance floors?
The sole is made of soft suede, which is the standard material for ballroom dance shoes. Suede soles allow controlled gliding and turning on sprung wood or smooth studio floors while still providing enough grip for precise footwork.
Can the Raeni BL184 be worn for both practice and social dancing?
Yes. The cushioned lining throughout the upper and sole, combined with the flexible shank and low 1.5-inch heel, make the Raeni BL184 comfortable for extended wear during classes, rehearsals, and social dance events.
How should I care for the suede sole of the Raeni BL184?
To maintain the suede sole's performance, brush it regularly with a stiff-bristled suede brush to restore the nap and remove debris. Avoid wearing dance shoes outdoors, as hard or dirty surfaces can wear down the suede and reduce its effectiveness on the dance floor.
What colors is the Só Dança Raeni BL184 available in?
The Raeni BL184 is available in Black and Caramel. Please note that Caramel is a Final Sale color, meaning it cannot be returned or exchanged, so dancers should confirm their size carefully before ordering in that color.
