Dance Shoes for Bigfoot?

I dance Tango but also do or want to try Swing, Ballroom, and Salsa. I have some black dance sneakers thank goodness they are black they double as my "dress" dance shoes. The biggest ones are an inch too short now I had to send them back. I can't seem to find really big dance shoes like true size 15 except for some male ballet slippers at least they would travel well. I hope someone knows of a dance shoe for bigfoot here I like soft dance sneakers best.

I hope to not have to have made custom shoes I think they are all hard leather and not soft and they would be expensive. Are there shoes I could modify like maybe glue leather to the bottom of rock climibing shoes or something?

Thanks for help I thought being as tall as bigfoot would be a dance problem but not a problem there it's the feet that are the challenge but at least no one borrows my shoes ever.

Some dance shoe vendors can order custom dance shoes. The shoes would not be hard leather, but would be about as soft as the purchaser desires. But yes, expensive and probably not returnable.

I would find a local vendor that you can work with in their store, without the rush or limited selection of a competition. They might be able to special order non-custom shoes of the right size that might be returnable -- Best to find out in person where return trips are easy.

I can understand the frustration. For other reasons (problem with toe), I rarely wear dance shoes, but I did find plenty for shoes (even at Marshall's for example) that have a pretty smooth bottom and work fine for what I do. I would expect that not all shoe repair shops are the same, but there may be some that can do some good work to help you change the sole. I pretty much NEVER wear dance shoes, and I'm fine. :)
