Contra – Black Lycra
The ‘Contra’ is our most popular design for Ballroom and it is so because of its blend of flexibility, comfort and style. It’s classic looking from the outside, but so very innovative inside. It’s lightweight and features specially developed arch padding which helps with foot alignment and comfort. There is also padding under the heel to cushion each step and gel padding runs all the way through the insole. The light and soft Lycra material is often worn when practicing and teaching, though we know many dancers will wear this also as a shoe for competition.
- Ultra flexible and lightweight with a split-sole design
- Sole design which wraps around the inside edge of the big toe for smoother movement and less sticking
- Arch support for greater comfort and to help with foot alignment
- Cushioning underneath the heel to absorb shock
- Gel padding from the tip of the toe to the back of the heel for cushioning and comfort
- Foam lining for a comfortable and glove-like fitting
