Answer 2

I think thats awesome that you don't like wearing leather! pretty much every ballet store sales canvas ballet shoes wich is cotton as far as the sole goes... it's only a little leather and pointe shoes well idon't know of they make those when you get older you should invent somthing like that you would probably make billions!

Answer 3

This is the information i found online from a blogger or something. There's probably a store near you that would do the same thing Kinney's does. I don't know where you live so i can't help very much further.

   I've been veg*n for over 10 years, and a dancer for longer. I've always been faced with a moral dillemma when it came to dance shoes - ballet, jazz, pointe, character, tap, etc. Usually NO non-leather alternatives (other than patent leather tap shoes for kiddies and canvas ballet slippers/pointe shoes usually with suede on the soles.)

Recently, Grishko (www.grishco.com) began manufacturing 'vegan ballet slippers.' They are only available to retail distributers for order on their website, and I knew I could probably find them in NY with no problem, but I wanted to see what would happen in Indianapolis. There is one decent dance supply store in the city: Kinney Dancewear, family-owned. They're great people. They would all drive up to Ball State to fit the dance co. for shoes, etc. So I wanted to continue supporting them. I'm home on spring break right now ...so I go in, give them the product #, etc. and they immediately go on the website and try to order - didn't get through, but assured me that the order would be placed asap and without addtl charge to me. They'd never heard of vay-geen, as Mr. Kinney pronounced it, and I suggested that they post a sign advertising that they now offer a completely non-leather ballet slipper. He liked the idea.

yay, success in the land of meat and potatoes.

btw, discount dance supply (online retailer) offers an "economy" line of shoes - jazz, tap, etc. and a few of those are 100% synthetic.

www.discountdance.com

also, an Austrailian vegan website sells ballet slippers as well - but from what I remember they were pretty pricey compared to grishko's 10-20 dollar range.
