4 Rating 1 Reviews
Read International Dance Shoes Ltd Reviews

'Contra Pro' is an enhanced version of our 'Contra' and our most popular design for Ballroom and it is so because of its blend of flexibility, comfort and style. It features a unique sole design where the sole material wraps around the inside edge of the big toe which ensures smoother movement when using the inside of the foot, as well as protects the Patent. It's lightweight and features specially developed arch padding which helps with foot alignment and comfort. There is also padding under the heel to cushion each step and gel padding runs all the way through the insole. Many Professional and Amateur Ballroom World finalists choose this shoe!

The part of the sole that is raised at the side of the big toe peels off prematurely and has to be reattached. Long-term stability of the footbed should be more durable

Hi Harald, Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review of us and thanks for highlighting these points. It can be that if that part of the sole does get caught on the edge of a floor panel for example, it could cause some damage by lifting the suede away but this can be solved easily with a strong hold glue in these cases. Frustrating, we appreciate, but it can happen. On the sole side, the shoe you have is a split-sole shoe built for flexibility but we do also offer our ‘Tango’ design which has a full sole, including a metal shank, designed for the ultimate support and stability. It can be a shoe that we make in the Black Nubuck fabric as a special order should you wish to try something different next time! Please email us if you’d like to order this.
