The Dancing Shoe!  With a low profile and a slimmer fit on the foot, this shoe is designed specifically for bands that dance intensively. Made for pointed feet and comfortable turnout, it is DSI's most sleek and narrow shoe but maintains the trusted DSI durability.
 
The Velocity boasts a low, more attractive profile, hugging the foot and representing the shape of a jazz shoe more than a marching shoe. The tread pattern is more inset than other shoes, and the rounded front and back of the sole allow for a smoother transition between the heel and toe. The sides of the shoe are lower to the ground, and the toe box includes additional padding. This sleek architecture allows the marcher to manipulate their feet more freely than in the MTX or Viper. The shoe is lightweight and seems invisible, yet it functions well on grass, turf, and pavement with no notice by the wearer.
 
<ul>
<li>Sleeker foot shape, reducing the boxy look – more attractive on the foot</li>
<li>Thinner soles that will still take on parades while still glued AND sewn to the Napa upper for strength and durability</li>
<li>Articulated sole with different attack and release surfaces for forward platform and heel</li>
<li>Tread is inset from the slim edge, hidden from view but functional - with water expulsion, outside turn grip, flex points on stress areas (balls of feet), front of toes overage, flattened heel with wide release point for stability</li>
<li>Slimmer, more efficient toe box to give a more movement-oriented look and feel but retain the shape of the shoe, with no encroachment on the top of the toes and no restrictions at the front of the foot</li>
<li>Lower profile lacing placement for a smoother look, and more laces to help shape the shoe to each individual's foot</li>
<li>Lower sides like a dance shoe, curved at the back to accommodate raised, split Achilles support</li>
<li>Stabilizing stitches on the tongue to avoid it wandering when putting the shoe on or during use</li>
</ul>
 
Most black sizes of the Velocity are in stock. White shoes ship directly from the vendor - additional shipping charges apply. Please note that shoes are most often ordered in quantity; shipping charges for individual shoes may be high.

DSI Renegade Marching Band Shoe - Black

Marching Band Shoes Men's 2 / Women's 4

Traditional Meets Contemporary
The Viper is a formal-looking marching shoe designed for a contemporary marching style. The sole, while still offering optimal grip and stability, is designed for a band that dances as much as it marches. 
 
The twin sole provides the same heel stability as the MTX but offers the split sole of a jazz shoe with maximum arch flexibility. This offers confidence to the marcher leading toe first just as much as to the marcher nailing an 8 to 5 on a direction change. The upper is fully lined with moisture-wicking material. The non-marking sole provides anti-scuff protection on floors and tarps. It has additional padding on the ankle collar to support the Achilles during all maneuvers, dance or otherwise, and a cushioned insole and heel cup for superior comfort, durability, and support.
 
Available in back and white. Most black sizes of the Viper are in stock. White shoes ship directly from the vendor - additional shipping charges apply. Please note that shoes are most often ordered in quantity; shipping charges for individual shoes may be high.

It provides superior grip on the field and has a reinforced toe box to reduce wear from high-intensity movement.
