Heel types

Not sure which heel to pick?

Flared heel (IDS)

The classic flared shape — stable and balanced. A popular everyday choice on Latin, ballroom and social shoes.

Elite heel

A slimmer Latin profile with the tip set further under the arch for a sleek competition look.

Slim heel

A tapered ballroom heel with the tip set slightly further back to help balance through heel turns.

Ultra Slim heel

The narrowest option we stock — for dancers who want a fine silhouette and are confident on a slim tip.

Low heels

Junior, Cuban and Heather options favour a broader base and lower height — ideal for younger dancers, teaching and long practice sessions.

Vogue heel

A soft flare inspired by Argentine tango — elegant, with a little extra confidence on the floor.

Men’s heels

Latin heights (typically 1.5″ or 2″) plus ballroom Contra, Tango and Gibson shapes — pick for height, lip and surface area.

Materials & Care

Dance shoes are specialist footwear, designed for performance, flexibility, and comfort rather than everyday outdoor wear.

Materials and finishes vary by style and are detailed in the product description where relevant. Uppers may include leather, satin, nubuck, or specialist synthetic materials, with suede soles commonly used for controlled movement on dance floors.

Care guidance:
• For indoor use only on appropriate dance surfaces
• Avoid outdoor wear, moisture, and rough flooring
• Brush suede soles regularly with a suede brush to maintain grip
• Wipe uppers gently with a soft, dry cloth after use
• Allow shoes to air naturally between wears; avoid direct heat

Proper care will help preserve the appearance, performance, and lifespan of your dance shoes.
