Maintenance of shoes Because the soles of ballroom dancing shoes are turned upside down, the main function is to ensure the smooth progress of the dance. There are requirements for the softness of shoes, some anti-slip needs and reasons for protecting the floor of the dance floor. So it's best not to stick water. When fur is wet for a long time, it is easy to make excuses from the soles, and when it is wet, it is easy to stick to all kinds of garbage on the ground. After dancing shoes are worn for a certain period of time, no matter how they are protected, the leather soles will still make the mixture of wax glue and various small particles in the venues paste into hard soles, which will affect the softness and anti-skid performance of dancing shoes. At this time, you can use a special steel brush for dancing shoes or anti-skid oil to re-make the soles relatively soft and strengthen the anti-skid performance.
