Not all flamenco shoes are the same! We order custom made flamenco shoes from Madrid, Spain and are made of authentic materials. Flamenco shoes should be made out of pure leather and the construction of the shoe is extremely important. I don’t recommend students wearing brands from dance wear stores such as Malabar as they are damaging to our floors. Shoes are the most important thing you can buy and they should be good quality even for the beginner student. Students can be measured in person at the studio and I recommend heel heights and colours as well as what style of shoe suits each student. I also order flamenco practice skirts, castanets and costumes for all of my students. They range in different price points and styles.
