Tango Shoes

Our Argentine tango shoes for women and men are made for walking, pivoting, and performing ochos: a secure fit, a sole that glides across the milonga dance floor, and a heel suited to your level.

The criteria for a good tango shoe

• Support: sturdy straps around the ankle and across the forefoot.
• The heel: 6 to 7 cm for beginners, up to 9 cm or more for experienced dancers.
• The sole: suede for easy pivoting, or smooth leather for floors with more grip.
• For men: a lace-up shoe with a low heel and a flexible forefoot.

Frequently asked questions

What heel height is best for starting tango?

Between 6 and 7 cm. You gain the posture of tango without compromising your balance during pivots.

Suede or leather sole for tango?

A suede sole turns easily and is suitable for most dance floors. Smooth leather glides more and is preferred on floors with more grip.

What tango shoes for men?

A closed, lace-up shoe with a low heel, a dance sole, and flexible leather at the forefoot.

Leather or suede sole for men's tango shoes?

Suede offers controlled glide for beginners, while smooth leather provides more fluidity on a good dance floor. See our men's tango shoes and our guide to choosing them.
