I had these made about 20 years ago at a ballroom specialist shop in Seattle that doesn’t exist anymore. I was just starting salsa and swing lessons and wanted to get used to dancing in proper heels without sacrificing comfort or performance. I didn’t end up sticking with it, so the shoes are barely used! There is still plenty of tread on the bottom and lots of life in the genuine leather uppers. The cris-cross ankle strap adds stability so you can show off your moves with confidence, the sexy peep toe allows your foot to breathe even in the steamiest of clubs, and the extra padded soles ensure you can dance the night away with no regrets and no pain.
