Your dance shoes are not only an essential tool for your passion, but also an investment that requires care to maintain their performance and aesthetic appeal. Whether you prefer satin, velour, microfiber, goatskin, or nappa leather, here are some tips on how to properly care for your dance shoes so they last a long time:
Satin: Clean your satin dance shoes with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water and possibly a little colorless shampoo to remove stains or dirt. Make sure to clean the entire shoe to avoid any streaking.
Suede, microfiber, and velvet: Use a standard crepe brush to remove dirt and dust from your suede or velvet dance shoes. A velour brush, specifically designed for this purpose, is the best choice for gentle cleaning.
Nappa leather: After wearing nappa leather shoes, wipe or brush off any dirt particles. Apply a thin layer of matching or colorless shoe polish. After about half an hour, you can polish the dance shoes to restore their shine.
Dance shoe soles: Over time, your dance shoe soles can become slippery and smooth, which can compromise safety and performance. A special roughening brush is the solution to restore the soles' original soft character. Remove dirt and wax by simply scraping to restore grip. Click here for brush selection.
