They have models for indoor sports which look as if they might work for SCD, 
but I suspect the rubber soles could be a problem.

We used to let people wear indoor sneakers during their first weeks in our 
group, but we have started recommending against this since we had a spate of 
injuries that could be linked to the way their plastic soles tend to stick to 
the floor. These days we try to get people to buy leather-sole gym or ballet 
shoes ASAP, which isn't a big investment even if they at some point decide to 
shell out for ghillies.
