Heel protectors are our most frequently requested dance accessory and we are delighted to now have in stock a variety of brands and styles to offer our customers.

Heel protectors are small transparent synthetic sleeves that simply slip over the tip of the heel. We have a selection of sizes which will fit most heel styles and shapes.The main purpose of heel protectors is to help to prevent damage and to prolong the lifetime of the heel tips on your ballroom shoes. They offer increased protection to help stop the heels from wearing out and can assist with grip on slippery dance floors.

Many dancers will no doubt have experienced the ‘skidding heel’ at some point. Heel protectors can give additional grip on the floor, so when you are driving forward your heel is less likely to slip from under you.

Some ballroom dancers find that heel protectors can give a little extra surface area to the heels which can make performing a heel turn easier. Another big reason why dancers like top wear heel protectors is to prevent uneven wear on the heel. If you find you tend to roll towards the outside of your foot when you dance you will probably notice that the outside edge of your heel will be worn away. The uneven wear on your shoes can then cause a tendency to roll out even worse. Or, if you are a dancer who has a tendency to use a lot of foot pressure you may find that heel protectors reduce the chances of sliding when you hit a seam in the dance floor!


Dance societies such as the ISTD, the IDTA and the UKA operate dance exams and competitions and it is sometimes mandatory that dancers use heel protectors in order to protect the dance floor from damage. This can be a requirement for both the competition floor and the practice floor. Not wearing them can even result in being disqualified!

We stock heel protectors that are specific to the brand and heel style of your shoes and would recommend purchasing them at the same time as your new ballroom shoes.

Werner Kern heel protectors are available in two sizes for Werner Kern Ladies dance shoes - 5.5cm heel or the 6.5cm heel. The Nueva Epocha Heel protectors are recommended for use with their 8.5cm heel.

Port Dance heel protectors are recommended to fit Port Dance flared Heel shoes or Port Dance Slim heel shoes.
