dwcgirl Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 why are canvas soo much better than leather? Quote Link to comment
Guest afroballet01 Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 They aren't. Flat shoes are completely a personal preference.It also depends on the type of floor you are using. Canvas: - Has a lighter feel - Is cheaper - Doesn't stick to/squeak on marley floor as much - Can be too slippery on wood - Is washable - May get holes faster (esp. on wood floors) - Shows off your arch better Leather: - Is more expensive - Cannot be washed - Gets smellier - Keeps your feet warmer - Works your feet harder (supposedly) - Looks better on stage I may have forgotten so key points,but I think I got most of the major ones.

Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted October 28, 2005 Administrators Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Very good job, afroballet. You are absolutely right about it being a personal preference, and the floor differences, and the fact that one is not better than the other. Quote Link to comment

Pirouette30808 Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Not to hijack this thread or anything but I have a question, why exactly does leather shoes stick to marley floors? I have leather shoes right now and I'm constantly sticking to the marley. It makes turns and pirouettes awful! Quote Link to comment
