This was our first split sole dance shoe inspired by the Tango dance. We manufactured only 250 pairs.They were offered to dance instructors and performers who were our existing customers. We wanted to get some feedback on not only the split sole but the leather sole.
The reviews were divided. Many dancers preferred a suede sole because it offers the right balance of friction and slide for dancing. The leather sole allows for the shoes to be worn on other surfaces as well as wood dance floors.
