Women typically wear either pumps or sandals with a 2 or 3 inch heel for Latin dancing. A lower heel is suitable if you are new to dancing until you are more comfortable with the Latin dancing style.
Women’s Latin dance shoes are mostly made of lightweight, flexible leather, and they have suede soles.
When you purchase a pair of Latin dance shoes, try several styles and brands. If you shop online, don’t hesitate to buy more than one to get the right fit. Most stores will let you return unworn shoes. Shoes should be snug but not too tight.
A special tip for women is that the toe should be as close to the front of the shoe as possible. Some women go so far as to allow a toe to hang over the edge of the shoe to allow for more control on the floor.
Whatever you choose, make sure it is comfortable and sexy!
Expect to pay $100.00 or more.
