-A '''jazz shoe''' is a type of [[shoe]] worn by [[dancer]]s. They are used in [[jazz dance]] and other styles of dance including [[acro dance]], [[acrobatic rock'n'roll]], and [[hip hop]], and in other activities, such as [[aerobics]].
-Jazz shoes are available in a variety of styles, with varying features. They may be high-rise or low-rise, and may be [[slip-on (shoe)|slip-on]]s or lace-up [[Oxford (shoe)|Oxford]]s. Split-sole jazz shoes allow enhance shoe flexibility, making it possible to flex the foot more easily. Most have rubber soles, which provide traction and also help to cushion the foot, and some have thicker heels for better shock-absorption. Some have a [[suede]] patch under the ball of the foot to facilitate turning. <ref>Linda Sparrowe, [http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Choose+a+shoe%3A+a+good+jazz+shoe+is+a+soleful+experience.-a0105710154 "Choose a shoe: a good jazz shoe is a soleful experience"], ''[[Dance Magazine]],'' August 2003, pp. 37-39</ref>
