Designed by Podiatrists

Bailaz is the world’s first dance sneaker brand designed in partnership with podiatrists.
No gimmicks. No shortcuts. No cheap knock-offs.
Just foot science + performance — finally brought together for dancers.

Why Bailaz Exists

Most “dance sneakers” are just rebranded fashion shoes. They look the part — but they don’t support the foot, collapse in the arch, and force dancers to fight pain, blisters, and instability.

We fixed that.

Bailaz shoes are co-designed with Walk This Way Podiatry in Sydney, specialists in dance biomechanics and foot health. Every part of the shoe was created with a purpose: protect your feet, improve performance, and keep you dancing longer — pain free.

The Problem With Regular Sneakers

Dancers don’t move like runners — so why wear running shoes to dance?

❌ Too much grip – ruins turns and stresses knees
❌ Cheap soles – no cushioning under forefoot load
❌ Narrow toe boxes – crush toes, cause blisters
❌ Zero arch support – leads to fatigue and flat-foot pain
❌ Fashion-first design – comfort is an afterthought

Most dance injuries start from the ground up — bad footwear → bad alignment → joint overload.

Bailaz = Foot Protection + Dance Performance

Every Bailaz shoe includes podiatry-engineered structure that you won’t find in any knock-off.

Built-In Advantage	Why It Matters
✅ Orthotic-inspired insole	Maintains natural arch alignment
✅ Heel stability frame	Reduces wobble on spins & turns
✅ Metatarsal protection	Comfort under pressure in ball-of-foot
✅ Shock-absorbing midsole	Joint protection for longer sessions
✅ Dance-optimised outsole	Perfect balance of glide + control
✅ Wide toe box options	Natural toe splay + better stability

Made to Withstand Serious Dancing

Cheap shoes fall apart. Knock-offs look similar but fail after a few socials.
Bailaz shoes are built differently — we use premium materials chosen for durability, flexibility and foot safety:

Genuine Leather – moulds to your foot and softens with wear
Reinforced Stitching – engineered for high repetition movement
Dual Layer Comfort Lining – reduces skin friction and overheating
Premium Outsole – no foam breakdown like cheap fashion sneakers

These are built to last — whether you dance salsa, bachata, rock ’n’ roll, zouk, urban kiz, swing, or Latin street.

Designed in Australia. Trusted Worldwide.

Bailaz is proudly founded in Australia and developed with Walk This Way Podiatry in Sydney.
Our shoes are now worn by professional instructors, social dancers, studio owners, and performers in over 30 countries.

This is performance by design — not by accident.

Why Foot Support Matters for Dancers

Dancing puts 5–10x your body weight through your feet on every landing, pivot or turn. Without proper support you increase the risk of:

Arch collapse
Knee overload
Achilles strain
Metatarsal pain
Plantar fascia stress
Lower back irritation

Good technique starts with good foundations — and that foundation is your footwear.

Because not every dancer is built the same.
