The Performance Shock

The Performance provides our flexible arch support, ankle stability, and energy absorption. However, here are some other unique fit features of the Performance:

Below the calf profile seamless design

• No compression in the toes but does have a slim cut
• Less fabric in the toes than the Infinite
• Allows freedom to spread your toes
• Knit-in energy absorption pads in the ball of the foot AND the heel
• Easy to get on and off
• Lays comfortably with reduced compression at the opening so it does not indent the skin
• Maintains a continuous line of the leg for a seamless look…looks great onstage
• A fan-favorite style that is versatile for class, stage, convention, or on-the-go for jazz, tap, zumba, ballroom or any other dance/athletic activity you can think of!
• Some LOVE this snug hug, others find it claustrophobic

The ONLY dancer footwear awarded the American Podiatric Medical Association Seal of Acceptance (along with ALL Apolla Shock styles). Meaning the APMA says they are good for your feet!

• A massage for your feet, you won't believe the difference they make on your whole body! 
• To keep strong arches, it is good to help lift them and give them support in class, and during recovery

Premium and Durable Footwear

• Patented highly-engineered knit design made with quality performance yarns, creating durable footwear that will outlast any other dance shoe several times over
• We recommend you replace a pair once a year, but you may want more colors, styles, or a pair for performance and class...but you won't need to replace them through the year due to them not lasting. 

Knit-in Energy Absorption

• A 2019 independent study at Ohio University showed Apolla socks reduced force.
• Our padding on the ball of the foot AND the heel provides comfort for your metatarsals but is not too thick in shoes.

Additional Features

• You can choose NON or WITH our patented refreshable, invisible traction
• White is ONLY available in NON-traction
• Anti-microbial (they don't stink)
• Moisture-wicking (keep your feet dry)
• Durable
• They are washable
• Recyclable
• Apolla socks are anatomically correct. There is an L & R knit into the inside cuff that tells you if it is “Left” or “Right. 

You don't have to wash them as often as a typical sock but unlike your dance shoes, you CAN wash them!
