THE DANCESOCKSMade in USA | The Original Over Sneaker Dance Socks | Smooth Floors (2 Pairs) (Black)

Dance Socks are the best of the 3 types I tried.1. "Dance Socks" worked best, were easy to slip on and off and were by far the best value. I got mine on Amazon because they ship fast (http://www.amazon.com/THE-DANCESOCKS.../dp/B00FHB4LIE), but next time I'll try the maker's website (http://www.thedancesocks.com/) directly. Note: u get TWO pair for $10, not one like the other brands. S&H was $3.99 flat rate and took 4 days to get here. I ordered 3 sets and S&H were still only $3.99 total. Why 3 sets? Because I'm a freak that looses stuff that is smaller than my house.2. "Zumba Carpet Gliders" were the most expensive and were hard to get on and off. They cost $14.95 for 1 pair, plus $6.50 shipping and handling. It took 10 looooonnnggg days to arrive. The Zumba Carpet Gliders I tried worked pretty well on my big feet but are hard to get on and off. A classmate tried these and told me for her small feet that the "one size fits all" were too big and slipped off.3. "Smoother Dancers" were the first type I tried. They cost $13.50 plus $3.32 S&H. They were cheaper than the Zumba version but more that twice the cost of Dance Socks. In my opinion, they are easier to get on than the Zumba product but don't work as well Zumba. Dance Socks were easiest to get on and worked the best in my experience.

This product is GREAT! You can literally dance in whatever sneakers you want to and never buy dance shoes again. I particularly like having just the toe covered, so you can continue using your heel as a brake. For years, I've had Hush Puppy walking shoes (flat soles (no waffles or uneven tread)) transformed into dance shoes by having a shoe cobbler put suede on the sole of the toe. This is a very expensive proposition (even more expensive if you do the whole shoe) and could be avoided completely with the use of this product. I know a male dancer who puts a black dress sock over the top of his shoe, using the same methodology. But, I think ladies need a bit more control coming out of spins to have the entire sole that slick. Neat product though. I first saw it in a Zumba class where I applauded the lady for doing something that will keep her knees healthy. Doing Zumba in athletic shoes is just asking for an early knee replacement or ACL issue. One gal thought the dancesock was a bit too slick for her, but that might have been a user issue. I would absolutely use this product for Zumba.

I have a narrow foot and used these one time (so far) with women's Keds classic sneakers when attending a swing dancing class. I had the brand new rubber bottoms on the Keds and had no applied the stick on suede soles I bought for them because I wanted to see how the Keds felt for dancing before committing to the suede soles. These sneaker socks were perfect! I was easily able to pivot on my forefoot as needed, and, despite my worries this would not be the case, they fit snugly and stayed secure without being tight on my feet. I bought these so I could invite random male partners (my son, a colleague, etc.) for swingdancing even if they didn't have good dancing shoes. But, I plan to use them myself so I can have various colors of Keds for dancing and also try out different dressy dancing shoes before putting suede soles on them. I have a narrow foot and cannot find dancing shoes that fit, even when they come in narrow, so these are a huge help to me. I have not tried them on men's sneakers but I see no reason why they shouldn't work well as they are stretchy. I do not know if they will work with women's dress shoes or even men's leather shoes as I don't know how much grab is needed on top of the shoe to keep these on. The canvas and laces of the Keds as well as the rubber bottoms gripped these well. I highly recommend these!!! Worn with graphite Keds, they looked fine, and I think they would look good with black as well. I don't think anyone would care if they don't match as anyone on the dance floor is not looking at you and definitely understands the need for the proper slipperyness. I wouldn't run on a smooth floor in them as they are slippery, but I didn't have any problems at all walking and dancing in these or running (literally) to the bathroom on carpeted floors in these.

I bought these for my line dancing class. They work well and help with the turns!

I love this brand for line dancing.

These dance socks work very well to allow me to enjoy line dancing without hurting my hip. I have a great pair of athletic shoes that fit perfect and support my feet, but dancing in them caused joint pain. These dance socks let me dance without that pain.

Okay, so I ordered these and I've used them several times. They work great on the wood floor during my Zumba workouts. I'm no longer sticking to the floor in my gym shoes and I'm able to gilde and spin much better. Injuries are much less likely to occur in the ankle and knee region due to this. However, I've had a couple of issues. I have noticed some numbness in my toes when wearing these. That is very uncomfortable when you are trying to use your feet a lot...pretty hard to dance when your toes are numb. I'm not sure why this is happening...It never happened before I started using the Dancesocks. Another issue is I have slipped too much a couple times and scared myself. That is probably user error and I need to experiment more with placement. But I really don't like the numbness I'm feeling. That is making me reconsider my purchase. I'm just not sure if this is just me, or if it's because I have larger feet (size 10) or what.

These are so much better than the ones made by Zumba brand. The quality is really good. I wear and wash them all the time and never baby them. Highly recommend.
