Is Ray Rose and International better than Supadance ?

[Standarddancer]

It seems Ray Rose only makes medium fit for lady's Standard shoes, I checked their site again

Does anyone know if International has a website which I could order directly from them? I ordered thru dancesport UK and takes a long time to receive, maybe I shall try to order from International directly? I still feel mostly comfortable with International in standard shoes.

Standarddancer, do you wear wide or extra wide fit in International ?

 

[Standarddancer]

wide, not because I have wide feet, because of my bunion hurts badly, Int'l fit the best for me

I use Internationals, and have been happy with them so far. I am considering trying Dance Naturals, any comment about them, anyone?

 

[Standarddancer]

dance natural tends to be narrow that's what I heard.

I worked for a company that sold Dance Naturals as well as Supadance and International. I waited on on customers constantly and from what I recall, Dance Naturals consistently fit much wider than International.This was a couple of years ago. Maybe they've changed?

I just noticed Ray Rose revamped their website and raised the prices.
So, the price for Blizzard is now 81.39 B. pounds while the price I paid for 10 days ago (excluding shipping) was 62.61. That's about $30.00 rise in the price. Quite steep!

That is a ridiculous price jump...we paid top dollar when the exchange rate US to British pound was 2 to 1. When we finally get a break on the exchange rate, they raise the prices. Why does it figure? It seems there is no justice at times.... *sigh*

Pheeew lucky I purchased from their old website.

I bought the Carmen one and it WAS already more expensive than Supa and International.

I cant imagine paying anymore for it !

It has to be exceptionally good for me to pay even more for it !

I recall there were a thread last year on this forum someone mentioned Dance Natural shoes tend to be narrow.

I love my International Superstar Single Strap shoe. Don't want to try anything else because, why bother. If the shoe fits... I just wish International still made the slim heel available in the US. It's ridiculous that they don't as the flare heel kinda sucks for standard, IMO I have to buy them from dancesportuk and it takes forever...

 

[Standarddancer]

International makes both slim and Flare for their popular styles. I also like int'l superstar single strap in round toe. Right dancesportuk takes forever, HKK just forward me links at showtime website, I don't see they have round toe single strap, they only have pointed toe single strap, I sent an email to them, but my feeling is if they dont' have it listed in stock, they might have to order from International from England anyway, so still might take a long time

Maybe fastest if we order from International directly? I was so stupid, I trashed the receipt from International purchase at Blackpool, otherwise I will definitely place order directly from them. I know dancesport uk order from them, then shoes ship from International warehouse to dancesport uk warehouse before ship to USA. Probably going to save some time to have shoes ship directly from Int'l to NY.

Has anyone tried RR Drizzle? How long do they last? Do they stretch a lot?

On other note, RayRose have new models and colors on their website!
Did anyone try the Flex models? How big is the difference?

Is there a big difference between flared and slim heels when it comes to stability?
Never tried slim hill before, and thinking to order my next shoes with slims.

I just checked it out. I like the new website layout much better... it looks like the new prices are listed in Euros, not Pounds. So no need to freak out

I like Aida shoes for latin.
