We all know that passionate people wear their hearts on their sleeves and now passionate dancers may wear theirs on their shoes. We are often asked by dancers and schools if there is a way to have a dance shoe that will represent their troop or studio. people often approach us with ideas on how to make their shoes more personal. Here at Ballo Shoes we love fresh ideas so we studied this and tried different ways to make a shoe that had just enough space to personalize it and yet still appeal to dancers in general. The result is the customizable "Fly".
We chose a black shoe to begin because we needed a neutral, fit-with-anything background and the we used our "Fly' because the design has a natural space for a logo and is the most flexible model we have to date in our line-up. The shoe has a window on the side where you can place a plastic insert with your Studio's logo or your troop's insignia. "On-1" or "On-2" dancers may feel like wearing their preferences or you maybe you want to wear your nation's colours or flag. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. The discs can be permanently fixed by a small drop of glue or they can be changed at will by opening and closing the Velcro. In the end you may choose to leave them as they are. If demand warrants it we will expand this program because in the end, here at Ballo, you the dancers are the true designers.
If you are handy with Adobe Illustrator then you can simply request the PDF template which will allow you to outfit up to 10 pairs of shoes. You then add your artwork and plasticize the sheet at any office supply shop. If you are not inclined to do so then for a charge of $5.00 we can prepare up to 10 pairs of shoes (with the same logo) as long as you supply the artwork. we have shown some examples to show you what can be done; the rest is up to you.
