I do alot of crossover dance styles, and when I'm on a questionable dance floor (In an audition or in a theatre show), I often feel more confident with a rubber soled jazz shoe. I definitely turn better in jazz shoes, even with the extra traction (maybe I feel more stable?)

I've been hunting for a rubber soled ballet shoe for the longest time, but no one seems to make them anymore. I strongly prefer ballet shoes for aesthetic reasons over jazz shoes.

So, on to my idea. Since I can't find rubber soled ballet shoes, perhaps I can convert some ballets. I found these on the sansha website www.dancex.com . . .. (If they adhere to the suede jazz shoes, they should adhere to a suede ballet sole) They are an odd shape, though. Can anyone think of a ballet shoe that they would match up to (just the forefoot, the heel doesn't matter to me) I thought maybe the Bloch proarch, but I've never worn that shoe so I'm just going off of the pics on Discount dance.

Rather than trying to find shoes to match that shape, would you be able to cut these to the right shape? You could probably even find something like this in a regular store. It would be with shoe polish and things like that.
