    My straps on those shoes is also desintegrating by rubbing with the floor very fast.. I also find the satin straps to stretch too fast... I'm not a fan of the Ray Rose anymore and am also looking for a new shoe. International was good since I could order them narrow, but seem too stiff...

    does anyone knows which is the most flexible shoe from the International Latin brand?

    I've found Internationals to be too stiff in general. Supadance makes one of the supafit shoes (1403) in narrow and they are flexible like RR. Though I found it to be a bit more narrow than the blizzard on my feet (esp. the uppermost strap) so they weren't a perfect fit. Also, Paoul shoes are very flexible (with a slightly thicker sole) and they make narrow sizes as well. I like model 197 for the adjustable toe straps. I could actually fit into the regular size by adjusting the straps. Because I like a different heel cup with the ankle strap to go under the foot though, a local vendor is checking to see if they can make that shoe with the 170 model heel cup. Louise Wise is a vendor of these shoes on the East Coast. LouiseWiseDance dot com. Hope that helps.

    just got my Sunrise shoes! wohoo im quite happy actually! :)
    they fit me perfectly, tight and nice. quite strange since my foot is quite wide, and i ordered the Normal Sunrise fitting. I thought since blizzards are really narrow, sunrise would be narrow too.. But i guess not!

    i also like all the straps, cause the blizzards, really made my toes pop out all the time, which made it lose the fitting, but the sunrise really covers all the toes.

    however i feel that Blizzards was much more softer and flexible when i got them, but still there isnt that much difference...

    i just say that im very happy with this shoe! and i have had blizzards, carmen from rayrose and Karinas shoe from Aida, so quite some good stuff to compare with... :)

    I'm glad you like your RR Sunrise.

    I still like my Sunrise despite some of the complaints I made earlier about them.

    Hi!!!
    I read all 31 pages, but im still confused. :)
    i want to buy ray rose blizzard shoes, but as much as i understand they can be worn out really fast. i am not a pro, i dance like 3 times a week (every time 1 hour), so do you think they will worn out quickly?
    one more question. i wear us size 7, and the sizing chart says i have to buy uk size 5. but my friend bought like 3 sizes smaller.. so i don't know..
    does anyone wear blizzards (us size 7)? what uk size do you wear?

    My latin shoes are a whole size lower than what I would normally wear in a court or street shoe.. I am 5.5 UK for court, 4.5 UK for latin. If that helps at all...

    thank you Dance Joy!
    what US size (street shoes) do you wear? 7?
  8. ireniecat New Member

    For what it's worth, my US street shoe size is 6. I wear 3.5 UK in RR Blizzards and 4 UK in Supadance court shoes.
