The fundamental difference lies in the origin of the manufacturing technology. Traditional walking shoes support the foot statically. Nicole Day to Night shoes derive from dance shoe construction: designed for hours of dynamic movement, for maximum comfort while walking, and for progressive adaptation to the foot. In 35 years of shoemaking and 15 years of specialization in professional dance, we have developed a level of expertise in comfort that is unparalleled in the industry.
Production primarily uses natural materials — leather, satin, fabrics — which are an integral part of the Italian artisanal footwear tradition. Through our customization service, it is possible to choose uppers in technical fabric, microfiber, or non-leather materials, while maintaining the same artisanal construction. For those who desire an alternative to leather, please contact us directly: our team can guide you toward the most suitable solution for your chosen model.
Yes, the Day to Night philosophy also applies to Nicole men's styles: loafers, lace-ups, and elegant models with leather or rubber soles that bring the same lightness and flexibility of men's dance shoes to everyday life. Many men who purchase Nicole dance shoes for dancing return for the equivalent model with a street sole, once they have experienced the difference in comfort.
Nicole shoes tend to run tight: many customers choose half a size smaller than their usual size, especially for leather models which will stretch over time. On the scarpe-da-ballo.com website, you will find a complete foot measurement guide with instructions and demonstration videos. If you are between two sizes, please contact us directly: Learco and Isabella are available to guide you in making the best choice.
The Day to Night line was born from our customers' most frequent question: "These shoes are so beautiful and comfortable, why can't I wear them every day?". Learco, the founder—with over 35 years of experience in shoemaking—responded by applying the same technical construction used for dance shoes to everyday footwear. The solution: replace the buffalo sole with leather or rubber, while keeping every other construction feature unchanged.
With leather or rubber soles, Day to Night shoes are designed for different surfaces: parquet, tile, asphalt, urban pavement, and carpet. The leather sole offers an elegant glide on smooth surfaces; the rubber sole ensures grip even on uneven or damp surfaces. Avoid excessively wet or muddy surfaces with the leather soles. Unlike dance shoes with chrome leather soles, Day to Night shoes are designed for real life in all its variations.
Yes — and this is one of the most appreciated benefits of the line. The upper made of natural materials — leather, fabric, satin — progressively adapts to the shape of the foot with continued wear, just like dance shoes. After 2–4 weeks of regular use, the shoe molds to the anatomical structures of your foot. The shoe improves over time instead of deteriorating, becoming increasingly personalized.
Leather is an elegant and traditional choice: it has a pleasant natural slip, a refined appearance, and is ideal for indoor environments or smooth surfaces. Over time, it adapts to use and develops a patina that enhances its look. Rubber offers more grip on slippery or wet surfaces, greater durability for intense outdoor use, and requires less maintenance. For those who alternate between indoor and outdoor use—work, city, events—rubber is often the more practical choice.
Yes, Nicole Gift Cards are the ideal solution when you don't know the exact size or preferred style. Available in various amounts, they are digital, can be combined, and can be used throughout the entire Nicole e-shop — including the Day to Night line and the customization service. They are valid for 3 months from the date of purchase and are received via email.
The Day to Night line is available in various heel heights. For everyday work wear or prolonged walking, we recommend heels between 3 and 5 cm: they maintain elegance without straining the foot during long hours. For events and ceremonies, heels up to 7-8 cm are perfectly manageable thanks to the flexible construction typical of Nicole shoes. Our customization service allows you to choose the exact height that suits you best.
Nicole Day to Night shoes start at approximately 130-140 euros for women's styles. The price reflects the entirely handcrafted manufacturing and the quality of the materials—identical to dance shoes. It is not a compromise: it is the same shoe with a different sole. Nicole Gift Cards are ideal for those who want to give a pair of Day to Night shoes without knowing the exact size and preferred style.

The upper should be cleaned with products appropriate to the material: moisturizing cream for leather, a soft brush for satin, and a damp cloth for fabrics. The leather sole can be treated occasionally with neutral wax. Avoid immersing the shoes in water; if they get wet, dry them slowly in the natural air, never near heat sources. Store them with wooden shoe trees or tissue paper inside.
The structure of dance shoes offers features that often benefit those with specific needs: soft uppers that do not create fixed pressure points, thin soles that do not alter the natural balance of the stride, and a flexible construction that follows the movement of the foot. We never replace the advice of a doctor or podiatrist. For specific fitting needs, our bespoke service can adapt the model.
Yes, the Nicole customization service fully applies to the Day to Night line as well. You can choose the upper material, color, heel height and shape, and the type of sole — leather for an elegant look, rubber for greater durability. We also offer bespoke manufacturing for specific fit requirements. Every shoe is handmade in our Igea Marina workshop.
The Ceremony line focuses on special and formal occasions: fine materials, elaborate finishes, and designs for important events. The Day to Night line is designed for versatile, everyday use, with greater attention to durability for repeated wear. In practice, many Day to Night models are perfectly suitable for ceremonies, and vice versa. The customization service allows any model to be adapted to your preferred use.
Absolutely. Many brides and guests choose Nicole Day to Night because they combine elegance and comfort in a way that traditional formal shoes rarely do. The flexible structure allows you to dance during the reception without taking your shoes off. The available materials — satin, glitter, luminous fabrics — are perfect for elegant and formal settings.
With a few considerations. The Day to Night shoes with leather soles are suitable for Argentine tango and dances that require a leather sole. For dances that require suede — salsa, bachata, Latin, and ballroom — leather or rubber soles do not offer the same controlled glide. For those who regularly dance styles that require suede, we recommend two distinct pairs: one for dancing, and one Day to Night pair for everyday use.
Yes, that is one of the main uses for which the line was developed. The softness and flexibility typical of dance footwear make them exceptionally comfortable for those who spend many hours on their feet or walk a lot during the workday. The elegant design is suitable for formal professional settings; the leather or rubber sole ensures grip and durability for intense daily use.
Dance shoes are designed for hours of continuous movement: professional dancers dance for 4–6 hours a day, so comfort is a fundamental technical requirement. Uppers made from ultra-soft materials, an anatomical insole, a flexible construction, and an ergonomically positioned heel. This engineering of comfort—applied to Day to Night styles—creates footwear with a level of comfort that is difficult for traditional walking shoes to match.
The main difference is the sole. Classic dance shoes have a suede sole, designed for smooth indoor surfaces like parquet and dance floors — it should never be used outdoors. The Day to Night line uses leather or rubber soles, suitable for any surface. Everything else is identical: same materials for the upper, same handcrafted construction, same flexibility and lightness.
Nicole Day to Night shoes bring the softness, flexibility, and comfort of handcrafted dance shoes into everyday life. There is only one difference compared to classic dance shoes: the sole. We use leather or rubber instead of suede, making the model suitable for outdoors, work, events, and special occasions. The upper construction, flexibility, lightness, and entirely handmade craftsmanship are identical to our dance shoes.
