LEATHER SOLES

Leather soled shoes have been a popular choice for footwear soles for centuries in many cultures all around the world. They are considered optimal and high quality for several reasons.

The first reason is: durability, Leather soles can be incredibly durable and long lasting when well maintained. They have the ability to withstand regular wear and tear, making them a reliable choice for shoes, especially dance shoes. 

Leather is a naturally breathable material, allowing air around the foot, this feature helps to keep the feet cool and prevent excessive sweating, promoting comfort and reducing the risk of foot odor. 

Leather soles tend to be more flexible compared to other materials, allowing the shoe to bend and conform to surfaces as you walk. This flexibility provides greater comfort and allows for a better connection between your feet and the ground or dance floor.

Leather both on the sole or on the foot has the ability to absorb moisture. Which helps to keep your feet dry by wicking away sweat. The absorption of moisture also adds to the overall comfort of the shoe.

If a shoe is well maintained you can prolong the life of them by having the soles replaced.

Aesthetic appeal: leather soles are often associated with traditional craftsmanship and quality. They can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to dress shoes or dance footwear. 

Leather soles especially on a dance floor allow for better grip and connection and in turn promote better control in movement during performances . depending on the dance you may want to consider these sole options.
