Question about jazz shoes!!! Dancers READ!!!!?

Unless you are constantly dancing in them it actually can take a while to break them in. In fact it took a few years of 1 class a week to break mine in. What I did to make mine easier to turn in, and you have to be very careful with how much you use, was to put a drop of armor all on the sole. Armor all is made to make leather and plastic shiny in your car. That shine is from an oil, oil makes things slick, slick things turn easier. Just put one or 2 drops on a tissue or paper towel and wipe the sole, just a very thin layer should cover it, you want to be able to stand still and grip the floor still. I told another girl in my jazz class who just bought her shoes, to try this and it really helped her.

well, you have 2 options... DONT scrape them on concrete or that will ruin them... 1. get some sand paper and sand them a LITTLE bit, not too much or that will ruin them. 2. just leave them as they are and let them wear out normally, this way the soles will get soft by themselves, this is honestly the best option. within a few lessons, the soles of your jazz shoes will be soft.

No, the bottoms of jazz shoes usually wear out very quickly. I got new ones at the beginning of the dance/school year and it only took a couple weeks to break in. It also depends on how much you dance, but try to wear them a lot. I personally think that dance shoes shouldn't be worn outside.

NO! Don't do that! That would ruin them! You just got to work in them and wear them down that way. Wear them down naturally, they will last much longer.

your body's natural sweat will break them down..wear them alot and even practise at home if you need to :)
