Four years ago, I threw down $110 on a my first pair of suede salsa shoes. Those shoes announced to the world that I was a salsa dancer, and separated me from the throngs of women in ergonomic disaster. Since that day shoes of all shades, fabrics, quality, and price ranges have made love to my feet...but you never forget your first. I've had them re-soled and re-sueded about five time.

Four years and twenty chiropractic visits later, I threw down $10 on my first pair of flat jazz shoes. Sure, heels are sexy. Chronic back pain?...not so hot.

Just for today, I'm dancing in new shoes.
