I'm gonna sound even MORE girly than Pragmatic (hell, I work for a fashion mag - what can you do?) and ask if there is ANY alternative when dancing to trainers/sneakers??? I'm DESPERATE to find something, and will invent them myself if I have to!
They must: be strong, be comfy, be danceable, be breathable so they don't get smelly and....here is the most crucial bit...add some leg length!!! For many girls, trainers cut the line of the leg HORRIBLY, making legs look short and stumpy. It's generally not too bad when worn with long pants, but with three-quarters or skirts (yep, I sometimes wear skirts clubbing) you're asking for trouble (unless you have legs up to your armpits naturally).
Please, please, ANY SOLUTIONS??????
