I have a pair of vegan athletic shoes I would like to convert into
dance shoes. Dance shoes have suede'd soles to allow easier turns and
less stress on the knee. Does anyone know a good source for strong
vegan suede that I could glue to the bottom of my sneakers?

Sounds as if there is a fairly specific requirement for grip and slip.. My
experience of dancing is of drunken lurching to stuff like "Smoke on the
Water" in the 70's so YMMV.
You could experiment with the synthetic "chamois leathers" for window and
auto cleaning, available from supermarkets or motoring accessories shops (eg
Halfords in the UK).
Otherwise you could try DIY newsgroups ( like uk.d-i-y) - you may have to
put up with some banter though, but it's usually harmless :-)
