Feet can take a beating during dance with quick movements and hard landings. They are the foundation needed get the body where it needs to go and need to be properly supported or feet may give up before the music is over. For a style such as swing dancing, high heels have no place. Dancers need comfortable shoes with some sliding capabilities and Chuck Taylor’s are a great sneaker that do the job well. They have a snug fit to the foot and the right amount of tread to allow feet to move across the floor smoothly. They have a flat rubber sole that can help a dancer to remain balanced in the feet.
A couple negatives to note about Chuck Taylor’s is that they do not provide a great amount of support and feet and arches can feel strained if worn for long periods of time. They are also typically made of canvas, which does not wick moisture and tend to keep foot odor locked in.
Listen to your feet as well as the music while you dance. If wearing Chuck Taylor’s cause foot pain, ditch them and make an appointment with Dr. Tina Boucher, a foot specialist in Meriden, CT. She can diagnose your foot pain and offer appropriate treatment options. Call our podiatric office at (203) 238-3668 or visit us online at www.centralctfootcare.com.
