Components of High-Quality Dance Shoes
Anyone who loves to dance should ideally invest in a good pair of women's dance shoes or men's dance shoes. These shoes support the dancer through various movements, ensuring a secure grip on the dance floor. Additionally, proper dance shoes help correct misalignments that can negatively impact the dancer's legs, hips, and spine. But what makes high-quality dance shoes, and how do they differ from regular shoes?
The Right Sole
Quality dance shoes need a quality sole. You should be able to glide effortlessly across the dance floor but also have enough grip to prevent slipping during quick steps. High-quality dance shoes are always crafted with a durable suede sole, often referred to as a chrome, velour, or nubuck leather sole. This material is known for its high durability; it wears down very slowly, and if the leather becomes smooth from dancing, a suede brush can quickly restore its texture. Suede soles provide excellent traction as well as superb glide — exactly what’s essential in dancing. If you prefer flat women's dance shoes, they offer a comfortable choice with optimal stability.

Steel Shanks in the Shoes
To make Werner Kern dance shoes particularly durable, each pair is designed with a special hardened steel shank embedded in the midsole. This unique feature of quality dance shoes gives dancers a more secure feeling while wearing them. Even under intense pressure during performances and dancing, the shoe provides support exactly where it’s most needed. The steel shank offers exceptional strength to the shoe without affecting the flexibility of the forefoot area. A model with superior stability can be especially guaranteed with comfort dance shoes for women. These models are particularly suitable for wider feet, providing secure and comfortable support.

Comfort Dance Shoes
Durable Heels for a Secure Step
Dance shoes must have exceptionally robust heel constructions. In dances where heel steps are common, such as the waltz, dance shoes need to be especially stable and resilient. Solid heels provide a steady stance while dancing, enhancing the dancer's confidence with every step. In Werner Kern dance shoes, the aforementioned steel shank is anchored multiple times within the heel, preventing the shoe from bending in critical areas, such as the transition between the heel and sole. Heel caps and shock-absorbing heel padding contribute to a comfortable feel and help protect the joints.
Latex Midsoles for Enhanced Comfort
A soft sole is especially important for dance shoes. Those who dance all night will soon feel the strain in their feet. With fast footwork, it’s easy to land harder than intended, leading to discomfort after just a few dances. High-quality dance shoes use extra-soft materials to cushion the sole. Werner Kern dance shoes feature incredibly soft latex midsoles, which cushion each step and impact, allowing dancers to dance all night without worrying about sore feet the next day. For dancers who use inserts, there are also special dance shoes with inserts for both women and men.

Straps for a Secure Fit
While standard dance shoes fit securely without strap closures, Latin dance shoes require the support of ankle or crisscross straps to ensure they don’t easily slip off. These straps should be made from especially durable material. The straps on Werner Kern dance shoes are crafted from a special high-tech material that is highly tear-resistant, keeping the shoe reliably in place on the foot.
High-Quality Materials
Only the finest materials should be used in crafting quality dance shoes. Werner Kern, for example, uses only the highest-grade materials, including soft goat suede, lamb nappa leather, as well as premium velvet and satin. These materials are exceptionally durable, allowing dancers to enjoy their shoes for a long time. The leather comfortably molds to the foot and gradually adapts to its unique shape over time. Luxurious velvet and exquisitely soft satin enhance the elegance and beauty of any outfit. The quality of these materials is evident in their craftsmanship, longevity, and exceptional comfort.
