Fun fact: my mom was the head of Broadway Dance Center when Mr. LaDuca was just an intern there. They remained friends, my father (a dance photographer) did photos for him. When I was born and my parents got divorced, I was often babysat by "Phil" (but Mr. LaDuca to me) because my dad would have a photo shoot and "not know what do with her". He used to have a store on 9th down in the 30's but now he moved to 48th (right down the block from my school actually!) And I never really realized that he was a big deal until I was hanging out with some dancer friends and one girl was bragging about her *LaDucas*. Anyways he's lovely and #hellskitchen

I feel like so many people don’t realize what infamous means. I think they get their definitions mixed up with well known and wanted. Until just a couple years ago I didn’t know it meant famous for the wrong reason. However now I hear it in these types of videos and it makes me cringe a little.
Florinda Lucero thank you !!!!!!! I remember getting hired at a new job with a younger boss at Jonathan Adler designs, and he had made a thousand flyers to our event and used the word infamous to describe out new fall line . I corrected him stating what the word infamous meant, and since that moment , he never cared for me . Go get a dictionary before you want to use fancy words.
I think English was not her first language growing up, a lot of immigrants' kids talk that way because language is often bounced off of our surroundings and conversation with our close ones
While I totally respect how great the product must be, the title of the video was how they are made. Yes, they did go through the process on how a custom designed shoe I done, they take didn't go into all that much detail on the process of the making of the shoe. Would have been nice to hear more details on how each piece is done and why to see just how much is put into the design and such.
My mom got to practice with the rockettes in high school, and that’s some of the most exhausting fun she’s had. She has drilled into me hard respect for them till this day! These women are stars! :)
This is interesting, but can someone explain how exactly these are different from other heals? I watched the video but I was still confused as to what the shoe does or how it’s designed to do what they say. I’m not doubting, I just want the science and design behind it because that’s what fascinates me.
The Duka-guy said they were more comfortable. I can just imagine, they have a bigger heel to reduce injuries and they might have a layer in the skin colour of the dancer to make the shoe more comfortable while still having the look of an open cut shoe
LaDuca’s have a very flexible sole that allows dancers to move a lot more than with a traditional heel. The middle area of the sole allows the foot to be flexed and pointed very easily and the shoe molds to the dancers foot a lot more than with a traditional heel.
@@avivabush2053 But how are they different from a different dance shoe? I get that they're different than streetwear, but there's a lot of companies making dance shoes, that are flexible and have leather soles for optimum grip/slip ratio, but why are these dance shoes so special?
@@MissySimpleM LaDucas are ten times more comfortable than other shoes. Also, it's actually a little more difficult to find quality soft-sole character shoes. Yet another plus is being able to order customized shoes for shows that match the costumes so well but still allow the same movement required for dancers.
If the shoes have a positive connotation with them (which they do), then they're famous, NOT infamous. Bad connotation = infamous (FDR's quote, about Pearl Harbor: "This day shall go down in infamy.")
Paused the video to take a deep, calming breath after "infamous shoes" Looking down in the comment section, I'm really glad everyone else is in agreement.
I loved to see how these shoes are made, what a fantastic art shoemaking is, they look so pretty! But, I promise you, the Rockettes are not World famous at all as you say, I am afraid they are not, though I would love to see one of their shows!
@@marahjette3452 Ha, ha, ha, You wish! I am talking to the woman presenting this video who says, on second 0:19, ..."and the world famous Radio City Rockettes" (or that is what I understand she says). I am telling her that they are not world famous. Many USA celebrities, lots of them singers, actors... are famous all around the world, but not the Rockettes for sure, I guess they are well known in the USA but that fame hasn't transcended that far away.
Well that is your opinion however , since they started in the 1920s and pretty much have outlasted anything that was a considered as a professional dance troupe . We will have agree to disagree with you on that . Ohh stop complaining and being a Debbie Downer . We will not get into a debate here about this and this our take on your biased opinion. Rockettes 2021 are back . Enjoy the magic 🎄
I bought shoes directly from Phil twenty years ago! The La Duca shoe is the best. My husband gave me a gift certificate for the can can boot which I will need to have custom made on my right foot because of an ankle problem. Im so looking forward to the new boots that I love to dance in and also use for street wear.....they have a very slick look and I always get compliments on them!
@Insider - WOW!!!! This is incredibly amazing how tap shoes are made!!! What a craft and skill! You see them all the time and think they grow on trees! hahah LOL Thanks for posting! 🙂🙂🙂 👍
These shoes are absolutely gorgeous, but my concern is that they've made 3-inch heels the industry standard, instead of the 2-inch heels that were standard for 150 years. The higher the heel, the more harmful it is for the back, joints, and muscles, because it throws the posture out of alignment. To compensate for the heel height, the chest must thrust forward, and the buttocks must thrust backwards. When you hear of dancers having to use ice-baths and physiotherapy, because of what they're doing in a show, there's something very wrong. High heels were originally invented not for walking, but for horseback riding. The wealthy upper-classes then adopted them as a fashion statement: "We're so rich that we can wear these shoes because we don't NEED to walk."
Just remember, these shoes have a dancers flexibility to them so it still allows the foot to move freely and naturally while still being supported. Also, with a 3 inch heel, it allows for the flexibility to work with the shoe for toe pointing so its more supporting to the foot than a 2 inch.
Sad the base is so expensive. But that is understandable. I want them just for a dress shoe! I like the traditional looking heels,(max heel hight 2 1/2 though) , and they are impossible to find! And these sound so comfy! Most modern shoes hurt my feet. These sound like they are made actually for your feet and not just boards you strap your feet too. I like to square dance and tryed wearing a modest dress pump (not high, just maybe a 1 1/2 heel) had them for years. But my feet where talking. Believe it or not I found my well broken in fat baby boots the most comfortable, and they are well broken in. Definitely more comfortable to have shoes that move with your foot then hinder it's natural movements.
They’re still pricey, but you might want to look at American Duchess shoes. Their heels are usually around 2” and they’re centered more under the heel of the foot and feel much more stable than modern heel styles.
the 3 inch isn’t the standard, it all depends on the height of the dancer. i’m 5’6” and i wear a 2.5 because directors don’t want the female taller than the male. the 2.5 also helps me not look like a “taller girl” in a chorus
Thanks for sharing the details of the product with us it was super cool to learn about this, I never knew how much went making something that seems so simple.
This is the second comment I have read where someone who owned these shoes had them stolen. It seems to me that they are quite valuable to people who are in the know, and they need to be guarded.

0:46 "(...) the mastermind behind these infamous shoes"?!? Does she know the actual definition of "infamous"? As in it means "well known for something bad"? One would think these people who fancy themselves as reporters at least know the meaning of the words they use...
@Alexandra Ulrike Zahar - LOL indeed! 🤗 Words and their use are so important. Families are built or destroyed by use of correct or wrong words, nations rise and fall in like manner. Let's choose our words wisely and carefully. The Capezio tap shoes remind me of the 1920s, 1930s flappers of long ago. 🙂
Quiet already. Shoemaking is literally a dying art and this is an actual location in Manhattan that still MAKES SHOES. Are you trying to bankrupt everyone? $215 is the price for their off the rack shoes. Meaning, not custom! Not made to fit the individual! And THAT, and the fact that the place is still around, is what makes them basically shoe making royalty. So that $215 sort of doesn't exist, because if you want the *real* LaDuca shoe made for you, then you are looking at way more. They START there.
The process of breaking in shoes depends on the shoe and the individual dancer. I wouldn’t beat up a pair of jazz, tap, or canvas ballet slippers like we see with ballet pointe shoes. I had a pretty standard sized wide foot so I wouldn’t have to do much to any shoe I bought. It would take like a week or two of regular classes for me to break in new shoes. If they are brand new out of the box I would wear them for short periods of time around the house too. Especially if they were high heeled. If the shoes are real leather it does take a bit for the leather to warm, stretch, and mold to your feet. The rest is just normal shopping choices and maintenance like any regular shoe. Wearing tights and socks to prevent blisters, specific insoles, adjust the outer sole to increase or decrease traction on the floor/ ground, clean, moisturize the leather, switch out the laces to make them pretty, or easier to put on et cetera
Yah "infamous" has a negative connotation. Probably an inappropriate use of that word in this case if you're trying to draw positive attention to the company.
Fabiana you should know the difference between famous and infamous. You described DeLuca shoes as ‘infamous’. I only point this out because as a journalist words are important for describing items. And, to be honest, I used the word infamous incorrectly and was told by my bosses boss to know words before I speak them. Anyway, cool story.
LindaLuxable actually, we dance in heels because they actually help us dance. For example, in flamenco, a Spanish dance, we use heels to produce rhythm right from our feet. High heels are essential for some dances, such as flamenco, salsa, rumba, ballroom, foxtrot, and many others.
@@LindaLuxable heels also add to the overall line of the dancer in which it extends the foot to a graceful pointed toe. And shoes like ballroom heels and these LaDucas with their flexible soles lend to that ability to gracefully point the toe
Actually these shoes are very supportive. Making them easy to dance in. And depending on the dance more people wear the la duca boot which is even more supportive!

I mean.. I don't need those shoes for that
I did at first but with practice it gets easier

S Ace I think they were actually silvers, but yeah they could have used a better clip
Yeah they were silver but if you look at any other “nude” shoe that the Rockettes wear, they’re custom dyed to match each dancer
