00:00Fix Slippery Ballet Turns with Split-Sole Canvas Flats Script
00:04If your turns keep sliding out and you land on your face, it might not be your technique,
00:08it might be your shoes. I spent weeks digging through Split-Sole Canvas Ballet Flats,
00:13testing the cheap ones against the pricier ones, and found some genuinely great deals.
00:18Here's the short list, in order of what I'd actually buy.
00:22First up, these stretch canvas ballet shoes for women and kids at $8.17.
00:28The Soft Split-Sole is the whole point, it grips the floor just enough to give you traction,
00:32but still flexes and folds with your arch so you can roll through a turn.
00:36There's a comfortable elastic band across the top that keeps them snug without pinching,
00:41and they're light enough to wear for an entire class without your feet complaining.
00:45At $8, there might try it first pick.
00:48Next, these ballet shoes for women and girls at $8.79,
00:53and they hold a perfect 5-star rating that almost never happens in this category.
00:57The canvas is soft right out of the box, so there's no break-in period,
01:01and the Split-Sole construction gives you that barefoot feeling without the barefoot slipping.
01:06People are buying these for ballet practice, but plenty of reviewers use them for jazz and casual wear too.
01:12Great rating, low price, easy yes.
01:15Then you have the upgrade option, women's ballet dance shoes at $18.66.
01:21Same soft Split-Sole design, but the stretch canvas is noticeably more forgiving
01:26and the stitching feels sturdier, which is what you want if you're spinning on a harder studio floor.
01:31It also works well for jazz and yoga if you're mixing disciplines.
01:35It costs more than the others, and honestly, you feel that extra cash in the construction.
01:41Buy this one if you're serious and practicing daily.
01:44My personal favorite of the bunch, though, is these Adult 3 Split-Sole Ballet Shoes at $12.72.
01:51The 3-panel sole gives you extra flexibility in the arch plus a solid contact patch at the ball of
01:57your foot,
01:57which is exactly where you need grip for a clean pirouette.
02:01Add a wide elastic band and a twill finish that holds shape after washes,
02:05and you've got a shoe that looks pro without the pro markup.
02:08Best balance of price and performance here, in my opinion.
