Learn more about this collection

Our women's Latin dance shoes are designed for salsa and bachata as well as competitive Latin dances: cha-cha-cha, rumba, samba, jive and paso doble. More than 170 styles: strappy sandals, closed-toe shoes and booties, all with a dance sole.

Sandal, closed-toe shoe or bootie

  • Strappy sandals are the most popular: lightweight, they allow the foot to fully extend the toes during extensions and turns.
  • Closed-toe shoes enclose the entire foot: they are ideal for sensitive or cold feet, and for those who prefer more comprehensive support.
  • Booties offer a more distinctive style, popular for performances and group dancing.

Heel height: social dancing or competition

In this selection, the most common heel height is 7.5 cm, followed by 6 cm, 7 cm, 9 cm and 5.5 cm. Practice styles go down to 3.5 cm.

  • Classes and social dancing: 5 to 7 cm, with a flared heel for stability.
  • Competition and performance: Latin dancers often wear a higher flared heel, around 7.5 to 9 cm, when their balance is well-established.
  • Long rehearsals: a low-heeled practice style is easier on the calves.

Materials and colours

Satin, suede-effect material, leather, sequins or rhinestones. Black is the most common colour, followed by red, brown, silver, nude and gold. In competition, many dancers choose a skin-tone colour to elongate the line of the leg.

Sizes

Most styles are available in sizes 34 to 41 or 42, some in sizes 33 to 43, and around thirty are available in half sizes.

Frequently asked questions

What heel height is best for starting Latin dancing?

Between 5 and 7 cm: high enough to improve posture without compromising balance. A flared heel is more forgiving than a slim heel.

How should I care for the sole?

Brush it with a sole brush after every session to straighten the fibres, and never wear it outside. See our guide: which shoes to wear for salsa, bachata and kizomba.
