Patto Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 After many super glue repairs my faithful old Padders have finally bitten the dust and need replacing. They have been with me since 1990 and the padders range now all seem to have too much tread grips on the bottom.Can anyone recommend any brands and places where i can get some new ones.I have never liked hard leather soled shoes and much prefere a padder/pod type hard rubber sole with a smooth tread What do all you guys dance in and what have you found to be the best for comfort and danceability.The ones Andy Holroyd has on look good in the Central Club photos

Guest Mrs Simsy Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I got a pair of ballet style shoes from Office in London nearly 7 years ago & apart from being re-soled they're in perfect nick! Appreciate that you may not want ladies ballet shoes but they do nice shoes for men too! They're on t'internet.
