Unleash Your Style From Boardroom to Ballroom With Wildfire Heels
It's been a stressful week, and you can't wait to let go of everything. You are about to meet up with your friends, who have been raving nonstop about their fun ballroom lessons. You've been so busy preparing for a series of boardroom presentations the past few weeks that you often begged off joining. But not this week.
You are finally showing up for a night of dancing, and you can't control the excitement building up within. However, one thing is holding you back—the need for heels you can wear from the boardroom to the ballroom. After all these stressful workdays, you deserve a treat! You want to purchase new heels you can wear everywhere, especially now that you are about to start dancing lessons. Some suggest buying a different pair for work and recreation, but the practical woman in you disagrees. You need versatile heels you can wear for both. This way, you can head straight from work to dance without changing into different shoes.
Only one place has heels perfect for all your needs—Wildfire Shoes. The brand understands that contemporary women need versatile options to suit their lifestyles. Not only do Wildfire heels ensure you are stable and cosy at work and play, but they also make you look the part. Transitioning from day to night is easy when you have Wildfire with you.
Discover which features to check and ensure when purchasing ballroom dancing shoes and which option is best for your first time. Let's get started!
Heel Base
Choose the base of your heels depending on the kind of ballroom dance you are learning. Slim options like stilettos make turning more manageable, while dancers prefer broad bases when they need more stability. More experienced dancers favour stiletto heels for their aesthetic appeal, elongating their legs and making them look slimmer.
More importantly, choose heels with leather or suede soles because they help you glide through the dance floor. A common mistake is going to class wearing sneakers with rubber soles that create too much friction because they prevent dancers from moving around.
Heel Height
Some dance instructors can recommend a specific heel height tailored to your skill level. Latin and ballroom dancers wear heels ranging from 3.5 cm to 7.5 cm. However, a beginner can always start with low heels, which are more comfortable and closer to the ground. And since you can find various options at Wildfire, you can choose which best suits your needs. You will grow more confident in your steps and progress over time. As such, you can return to Wildfire and upgrade your dancing shoes.
Style Option
After deciding on the base and height of your heels, you must also consider whether you like an open or closed design. Latin and rhythm dances require pointing toes and articulating the feet, so open-toed heels are ideal. On the other hand, smooth dances require a more traditional look where closed-toe options fit well.
But since you're a beginner, experts recommend choosing open-toed heels. You can do most dancing styles with them. Also, the dance steps usually place your feet forward, and pushing them against closed shoes can hurt. Play it safe with open-toed shoes, which you can find in abundance at Wildfire.
The Right Fit
Heels that fit you right are critical when dancing. Opting for dancing shoes that are too big can affect your footwork. We don't want your heels accidentally flying off across the dance floor. On the other hand, shoes that are a size or two smaller would pinch and blister, turning your dance lessons into a painful experience. Here are some tips to help you find the right pair:
- Choose shoes that snugly fit your feet.
- Spacious toe rooms are necessary for moving comfortably without feeling cramped or squeezed.
- Adjustable straps provide a customisable fit and hold them securely in place.
- It's best to try on both shoes to get an accurate feel. Do a slight twirl and spin to evaluate the heels' overall comfort. They should feel supportive and comfortable.
- Wear them around the house to break them in. Do small dance movements and flexibility exercises, such as flexing and pointing your feet.
Which Wildfire Option to Get?
Wildfire's extensive heels collection has several options that fit these considerations. Since you're a beginner, it's best to wear dance shoes with low, thick bases. Choose open-toe shoes with adjustable ankle straps for security, comfort, and fit.
Tamara from Wildfire's low heels collection ticks all the necessary features—short, broad bases, buckled ankle strap, open-toe with a single toe band across the foot. Its 5.5 cm height is ideal for long hours on your feet, transitioning flawlessly from day to night. Wear these heels from the boardroom to the ballroom and show them what style and comfort are all about. Whether you're presenting the quarterly report or doing the salsa, Tamara will get you through them effortlessly.
Months down the road, you'd likely want to upgrade to something taller. We suggest choosing Bonsai from Wildfire's block heels collection. It has similar features: a buckled ankle strap, two elegant straps on your toes, and thick, broad bases. However, these shoes stand at 11.5 cm and come with a 2 cm platform sole for more support and comfort.
Maintenance and Care
With a newly discovered love for dancing, you must ensure the longevity of your heels. They have become your favourite pair, seeing you through stressful boardroom meetings and festive ballroom lessons with your friends. Here are easy steps you can take to ensure they last long:
- Keep your heels clean by wiping off dirt with a soft cloth.
- Avoid dancing on wet surfaces. But if inevitable, let your shoes air dry naturally.
- Store your heels in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and damp areas. Use a shoe closet, rack, or bag.
- Constantly apply a protection spray to prevent stains and water from seeping through the material.
