Bachata Shoes

Our women's and men's bachata shoes combine a stable heel, a strap that holds the foot in place, and a dance sole designed for side steps and hip movements.

Choosing the right shoes for bachata

• The heel: 5 to 7 cm, flared for stability on the tap of the fourth beat.
• Support: an ankle strap for waves and turns.
• The sole: suede, to glide without slipping.

Frequently asked questions

What shoes should I wear to dance bachata?

Flexible sandals with a moderate heel of 5 to 7 cm and a pivoting dance sole. See how they differ from salsa shoes: bachata or salsa.

Can you dance bachata in sneakers?

For your first few lessons, yes, as long as the sole doesn't catch too much. Once you start working on turns and hip movements, a dance sole makes pivoting easier and protects your knees.
