Are you primarily looking for comfort? See our comfortable Latin dance shoes, all offered with a heel of 5.5 cm or less.

How to choose a comfortable Latin dance shoe

  • The heel: 5 to 7 cm to start, higher once balance is mastered. A flared heel is more stable than a thin heel.
  • The straps: an ankle strap and straps across the forefoot prevent the foot from slipping during turns.
  • The sole: a suede sole allows you to pivot without catching. It is reserved for the dance studio.
  • The material: satin and sequins for the stage, soft materials for dancing for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

What heel height for starting Latin dance?

Between 5 and 7 cm. It's enough to have the right posture without losing balance. If you dance long evenings, a small heel remains the most comfortable solution.

Can you wear your Latin dance shoes outside?

No. The suede sole gets damaged and dirty on the asphalt, then it doesn't glide well. Put them on when arriving at the class or the party.

Latin dance shoe or salsa shoe: what's the difference?

It's the same family: open strappy sandals with a dance sole. Salsa, bachata and cha-cha-cha are danced with the same shoes.

Are Latin dance sandals suitable for beginners?

Yes, as long as you choose them with care. Look for a heel of 5 to 7 cm, ideally a flared heel, which is more stable than a thin one, and an ankle strap with straps across the forefoot so your foot stays in place during turns.
