Unlike the soft suede soles used on many Ballroom and Latin practice shoes, leather gives a firmer, more traditional response underfoot and makes this model particularly well suited to swing, musical theatre, jazz and character-based choreography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eOxford-style lace-up construction\u003c\/strong\u003e allows the shoe to be adjusted closely across the foot and instep. That secure fit is useful during quick directional changes and travelling choreography, while reinforced eyelets add durability around an area that naturally takes repeated tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts \u003cstrong\u003esynthetic leather upper\u003c\/strong\u003e provides more structure than the very soft microfiber construction of a shoe such as BL184, but gradually becomes more comfortable with wear.
