THE DANCESOCKS - 100% USA Made Over Sneaker Socks for Dancing on Smooth Floors (4 Pair Packs)

These are really great for casual ballroom dancing. You can really spin easily in them, and wearing them allows you to wear your sneakers to dance, which is a good option when you're recovering from an injury or just want to be comfortable. My husband and I keep them in the car, so we can decide at the last minute to go somewhere to dance, or in case we forget our dancing shoes or don't want to carry them for some reason! (The photo shows my husband and me dancing at Lincoln Center in NY wearing the dance socks.)

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.

I use the dance socks all the time for myself, and keep them handy for my students in my Zumba class. They are very effective for protecting the knees and hips from injury due to floors that don't allow for pivoting and sliding or shoes that are not made for dancing.

I was "forced" to dance in a hip hop performance with my daughters group and struggled with turns and spins (for more reasons than my lack of coordination and age)! The next day I saw the ad for these socks and two days later they were here! Absolutely amazing! No more sticking, no more stress on knees.We were able to complete turns and spins. I feel bad that my daughter has been struggling in dance and I never knew!

I was skeptical about ordering these dance socks as I was concerned about sliding around the dance floor in them; however, they provide the exact amount of control and flow needed for all of the contemporary an old fashion dances that I am learning. So thankful I ordered two pairs!

These dance socks are life saving. Well, they are ankle, knee and hip saving. I love to line dance, so I got the four pack and keep these socks on four pairs of shoes, from tennis shoes to my comfy sketchers. They fit on all easily and stay put. They arrived quickly and now I give them to my dance friends as gifts. Def recommend.

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 love taking zumba class but have a hard time finding shoes that slide well. In zumba you need to be able to move and these are great to put on any pair of gym shoes. I have a pair of Brooks running shoes, and I didn't want to have to run out and buy new shoes every time I found a new fitness class. These are easy to wash, and slide on and off the front of shoes very easy. I love them and will be ordering more!
