My Awesome Sister

As the title of the entry tells you, my sister is awesome.  She is awesome for many, many reasons, but today she is awesome for this:

 

These are her square dancing shoes; she and my brother-in-law have been taking lessons.  I find this very cool.  I've never really thought about square dancing, but the hubby keeps trying to get me to take something like salsa or tango lessons with him and I keep shying away because I am such a klutz and in no way graceful.  My sister is way braver than I am!  Go sister!  I haven't gotten to see them dance, yet, but can't wait until I do.  You know what's coming next, right?  Of course I had to go look up other options for shoes in this category...

 

 

I like the red a lot, but realize they wouldn't go with as much.  As I was searching I kept finding lots of other kinds of dance shoes, not so many square dance shoes.  Which then made me wonder, what makes a shoe specifically a square dance shoe?  I did a bit of looking, but didn't come up with much.  Apparently this isn't a question a lot of people are asking on the internet.  Wikipedia couldn't even tell me, so what does that say?  Anyone out there know the answer?  Sister?
