How should I size the Só Dança Rita BL144?
The Rita BL144 is available in adult women's sizes and fits true to size in a medium width. If you are between sizes or have a wider foot, sizing up by half a size is generally recommended. Consulting the Só Dança adult shoe size chart is advised for the most accurate fit.
How do I care for the satin upper on the Rita BL144?
The shiny satin upper of the Rita BL144 should be spot-cleaned gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoe in water or using harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the satin fabric and the shoe's structure. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat.
Is the suede sole on the Rita BL144 suitable for turns and spins?
Yes. The suede sole on the Rita BL144 provides the ideal amount of grip and slide for executing smooth turns and spins on ballroom dance floors. Suede soles are the industry standard for ballroom footwear because they allow controlled movement without the sole catching abruptly.
Is the Rita BL144 a final sale item?
Yes, the Rita BL144 is a final sale item. This means it cannot be returned or exchanged after purchase. Só Dança recommends reviewing the size chart carefully and confirming your size before ordering to ensure the best fit.
