Apolla Shocks are the ONLY dance footwear awarded the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance. The patented highly-engineered knit design creates durable footwear that lasts. Arch and ankle support for dancers wanting bare heels and toes; Allows for maximum floor contact while offering targeted compression; Shows off and accentuates the feet while creating clean lines; Can also be worn comfortably with any dance shoe to provide additional support; Incognito under ballet tights and hidden under pointe shoe ribbons; Moisture-wicking and antimicrobial; Washable; DO NOT use fabric softener or dryer sheets; Made in USA; Because the Joule does not have toe coverage, the fit is the same on either foot. There is no"Left" or "Right" side, BUT there is an upside down and right-side up for this style. Please Note: The Joule's non-traction design is best suited for carpeted surfaces and can easily be added to any dance shoe.
