Different Rubber soles vs Leather or suede
Hiya
Has anyone got any experience with the rubber soles available on lots of dance shoes at the moment? Bleyer (http://bleyershoes.com) for example has a choice of "new style cell rubber", spin spot, EVA or suede. Would obviously be nice if you knew the soles wouldn't get messed up if they get wet or you stepped outside briefly, but only if they still perform well on the dance floor.
Cheers

The rubber soles on Saint Savoy shoes ("TPU sole) work great on everything I've tried them on so far.
On wooden floor, on plastic, on concrete (don't ask – our regular training venue, but we're about to get another floor installed).
I have stepped outside to get some fresh air many times, but I don't really walk in them, so only a few steps. The soles have many little depressions in them now, but that's only superficial/optical.
Wetness shouldn't really harm the soles, but I still try hard not to get them wet, because it's an obvious safety issue.
Thanks for the info, that's good to know. Would also be helpful if anyone else has tried other brands to see if it's similar.
