Frequently Asked Questions
What heel height does the Só Dança Charity SD142 have?
The Só Dança Charity SD142 features a 2.5-inch flared heel, which provides a stable base suited for stage performance and extended rehearsal use. Dancers who prefer a 3-inch heel may want to consider the Só Dança Velma SD143, which shares a similar design.
How does the SD142 fit, and does it run true to size?
The Charity SD142 is available in adult sizes 4.0 through 13.0 in both Medium and Wide widths. The shoe runs true to size for most dancers. Those with a wider forefoot may benefit from selecting the Wide width option, and the adjustable center arch strap allows for additional fit customization.
What makes the center strap on the SD142 different from a standard ankle strap?
The center strap on the Só Dança Charity SD142 threads through a loop positioned under the arch of the shoe rather than attaching at the ankle. This design allows dancers to adjust the tension across the arch specifically, providing a more personalized and secure fit across the top of the foot.
Is the SD142 suitable for turns and footwork on stage?
Yes. The Charity SD142 features suede soles, which offer the controlled slip needed for clean turns and pivots on most stage and studio floor surfaces. The flared 2.5-inch heel also contributes to balance and stability during dynamic movement.
How should I care for the leather upper and suede sole of the SD142?
The leather upper of the Só Dança Charity SD142 can be wiped clean with a soft, lightly damp cloth and should be stored away from direct heat and sunlight to preserve the material. The suede sole should be brushed regularly with a suede brush to maintain its texture and performance. Avoid wearing the shoes on rough outdoor surfaces, as this will wear down the suede prematurely.
What is the difference between the Só Dança Charity SD142 and the Velma SD143?
The Só Dança Charity SD142 and the Velma SD143 share a similar silhouette and construction, including the leather upper, suede sole, and adjustable center arch strap. The primary difference is heel height. The Charity SD142 has a 2.5-inch flared heel, while the Velma SD143 offers a 3-inch heel for dancers who prefer greater elevation on stage.
