Our favorite brands are:

• Fuegos: Technically a street dancing shoes, Fuegos are a great all purpose sneaker that you can beat up and wear just about anywhere. What makes them special? Hard rubber on the sole and plastic disks that help you slide on concrete, sticky bar floors, and ballrooms alike.
• SAF (Sexy.As.F$ck.): The name speaks for itself!
• **Madam Dynamite:** Fun colors and a cinch to break in. Their lindy boots are like butter, but beware if you have wide feet.
