The Very Fine C917101 Mens Ballroom, Waltz, Latin, Salsa, Tango Dance Shoe is designed for three things: style, comfort, and quality.The heel has built in cushioning, and the instep has arch support, both of which protect your feet and allow you to dance more without wearing out your feet. The sole of the shoe uses high quality natural suede, which gives just the right amount of traction and slide that dancers need. Even the inside of the shoe is built with genuine leather, meaning it will stretch and conform to your foot as you wear it. And to top it off, the outside is finished with our high quality premium patent shine. It's no wonder this is our most popular patent leather shoe!
