I always wore shoes made of lycra. These shoes always improve my dancing not only in practice but also in the competition. My favorite is lycra, currently wearing leather shoes that I accidentally bought on this Blackpool and this one is only wearing for practice. At first, it felt harder on the outside of the foot than lycra, but now it's okay because I tamed my shoes. Rather, it seems to have the advantage of being durable. Overall, IDS shoes are the best compared to any other shoes. However, the price is burdensome because I purchased it in Korea, so I am disappointed that I cannot replace it as often as I think. Thank U IDS danceshoes !❤️ love you hugs :)
