Cheer Shoes FAQ
Cheer shoes should fit snug but not painful. They're meant to move with your foot for secure stunting and clean lines. If you're wondering if you should size up or down for cheer shoes, please note that they run small compared to everyday sneakers. Size up for a more relaxed fit.
Spot clean with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing. If you're looking for an easy-to-clean white cheer shoe, you should opt for a cheer shoe with a leather exterior like our DBL Edge Pro cheer shoes. Competition cheer shoes are designed to have a more sleek outer sole, so we recommend swapping to a comfy recovery shoe when you're off the mat! We also recommend Glo Cheer Shoe Cleaner for a deeper cleaning tool!
Varsity cheer shoes like the Phantom and Ascend Air are designed for flexibility, lightweight feel, and shock absorption--ideal for high-impact tumbling passes and competitive cheer. The Ascend Air is approximately 3.8 oz making it our lightest shoe for tumblers. Many cheerleaders also prefer a high-top cheer shoe like the Aeros Elite for its secure sock-like fit and reinforced strap.
Flyers love the Varsity Phantom for its ultra-light feel and stunt grip support. Browse our top competition cheer shoes to find a great high-performance fit.
