Your response is the most important reason for why I love HN, so many interesting "slight" off-topics.
Thank you.
So my slight off-topic to your slight off-topic: I want to learn dance myself but after using "barefoot" shoes for last few years when I see dance (men) shoes they scream to me moving in them will be painful, because of narrow toe box. There are no dance shoes with wide toe box, like anywhere.
So I ordered custom made and should get them next week. It was actually hard to convince shoe maker to create one. I checked them in the middle if fitting is OK, and even that they are not as wide as I would like they are still way better than any ready to buy set.
- Dracophoenix 5y agoWhere did you order your custom shoes from?
- Matrixik 5y agoHe is in Poland (from my city Lodz): http://www.lewandowskiszewc.pl/ http://www.lewandowskiszewc.pl/ I know that he is making shoes for people from other countries. He is artistic shoemaker and you can see some more of his creations on fb: https://www.facebook.com/szewstwoartystyczne/ https://www.facebook.com/szewstwoartystyczne/ He, unfortunately, like to have narrow toe box... That's why I was pushing him hard to make one with wider toe box and even left one of my Joe nimble pair as a example.
- lief79 5y agoHmm, at least when I was swing dancing .... most dancers just had shoes they like resoled. I never did it myself, as I had found some that worked, and I wasn't doing it often enough to wear them out.
