Shopping for Shoes
Dance
Universe
A great site with a ton of shoe choices. Also they have a really great
photo gallery so if you want to look at the styles of shoes that the
pros are wearing, or procrastinate from homework for hours, check it
out.
Zappos
All Freed shoes, but they have free shipping both ways. Be aware that
if you buy the shoes with the tapered heel, you will NOT be able to
put a heel guard on it.
DanceSport
UK
Run out of Britain, but even with $20 of shipping charges (11 pounds),
it's still cheaper than most every other site. Check out the DANSport
shoes if you want an even less pricey option. Just be aware that if
the shoe doesn't fit, shipping it back can get expensive.
DanceSport
Shoes
Free shipping TO you, but not back. They have a wide selection.

Cheaper, just as good (maybe a little worn, but really, who cares?)
