It’s your call whether you will wear ballet shoes outside the studio or not. However, we advise you not to. Ballet slippers are not designed to get in contact with tough and dirty surfaces unlike other types of shoes with thick outsoles. If you wear them at the parking lot, they will eventually accumulate oils and dirt on the sole. This, in turn, can make the dance floor slippery. Ultimately, this can take a toll on your safety. Hence, experts say that sneakers are the only type of dance shoes that you can wear outside. No wonder, they are touted as the most versatile type of footwear in the fashion world.
