Hello all,
back a year ago, I happened to see Mariana Montes wear shoes which have
soles which literally flex back all the way under her foot - very soft,
looked like they had regular leather or suede soles, but the inside was not
made sturdy like in regular shoes, but of some resin-like material. They
looked fantastic for dancing as they probably provide great connection with
the floor, but I've never seen them sold anywhere.
Designs looked like Comme il Faut, but all the shoes from Comme In Faut have
less flexible soles (flexible but not that flexible).
Any ladies (or men) out there who know where to get shoes like that?
Thanks,
Svetlana.

Sounds like you're describing super-flexible, ballroom dancing shoes. These
shoes are very flexible, but allow the foot to go into a ballet point which
is not typical of tango dancing. They also have much less support and offer
little help with stability and balance.

Most of us dance tango for hours at a time in classes, practicas and
milongas. Our feet need a little help. Yes, the feet get stronger as time
goes on, but a supportive shoe is the most effective tool for good balance.
A good shoe gives you comfort, fashion and stability. A good shoe helps
dancers gain confidence, while never having to think about their feet.





Best regards,

Robin
