Re: Tango Shoes!


(I was just about to do it myself!)

I'm currently finding my Freed Marissa shoes very suitable for Tango.

I'm resisting the temptation to buy another pair of dance shoes (OK, there isn't really any temptation, I have no money at the moment!).

Think I might wear the red pair tonight.

Re: Tango Shoes!
Hmm. I wonder if I'll be able to dance in 3 and a half inch stilettoes?

Only other question, should they be black and shiny or red and shiny?

Werner Kern do some nice ones. *Sigh.*

But had to abandon the stilettos

OK to be honest I’m having trouble with Cuban’s

And I can’t find red ones in my size

H'mmm - I thought real tango shoes were more likely to do damage than sustain damage.

( As in closed toe ).

I did and was asked by someone 'Are they tango shoes?'. OK it was a guy but he has been dancing tango for a couple of years.

Jivecat, I was drooling* over the Werner Kern ones at Scarborough till my friend came over with a 'put down the shoes and step away from the table' sort of look (she knows I can't afford any at the moment!)


*Obviously not literally, that would have made them rather soggy.

Their on line order does not seem to cope with Non UK customers

JC always happy to wave temptation in front of a ladies wardrobe!

The site says it ships worldwide and accepts major credit cards. But have to say haven't used them myself. A friend has and said she didn't have too much trouble, she didn't say she had a problem anyway.
