A softly rounded closed toe, elegant Flesh Satin and beautifully balanced 2.5\" heel create the traditional Standard silhouette, while generous cushioning and a secure instep strap make it a remarkably comfortable shoe to actually dance in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIDS ICS RT SS Personality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClassic • Refined • Cushioned • Ballroom-Pure\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome dance shoes cross happily between Ballroom and Latin. ICS RT SS knows exactly what it wants to be. The closed rounded toe, warm Flesh Satin and sweeping asymmetric strap create a beautifully traditional Standard Ballroom line - understated, polished and designed to disappear elegantly into the overall silhouette rather than compete with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternational Dance Shoes ICS RT SS - Design \u0026amp; Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eclosed round-toe court construction\u003c\/strong\u003e immediately separates ICS RT SS from the open Latin sandals we've been looking at. It encloses and supports the forefoot, creating the smooth uninterrupted line traditionally associated with Standard Ballroom while giving the toes more protection and containment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur version sits on a \u003cstrong\u003e2.5\" Ballroom heel\u003c\/strong\u003e. That's a meaningful heel height: elegant enough to create a developed competitive Ballroom position, but without pushing into the more demanding territory of a very high or ultra-slim heel. For dancers already comfortable in Ballroom heels, it offers a particularly useful balance between line and control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe asymmetric strap sweeps diagonally across the instep rather than simply sitting horizontally across the foot. Once adjusted correctly, it helps draw the shoe securely onto the foot and reduces unwanted movement between foot and shoe during travelling steps, turns and changes of direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComfort is one of the strongest parts of the ICS RT SS story. \u003cstrong\u003eGel cushioning and a soft internal lining\u003c\/strong\u003e create a noticeably more forgiving environment underfoot, making this a strong option for dancers spending extended periods in their Ballroom shoes through lessons, rehearsals and competition days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath, the \u003cstrong\u003esuede dance sole\u003c\/strong\u003e provides the controlled glide and floor connection required for Standard Ballroom. It allows the shoe to travel smoothly across an appropriate indoor dance floor while still giving the dancer enough feedback for controlled movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Flesh Satin finish completes the traditional competition aesthetic. Its warm neutral tone is designed to blend elegantly with the leg and tights, helping extend the visual line rather than interrupting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternational Dance Shoes ICS RT SS Technical Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #FBFBFB;
