One of the things that makes us different from most other brands is that because our shoes are all made here in the UK, we can be more flexible and offer all of our shoes on a range of heels to suit you. Some of the world leading Latin competition dancers will like a tall, skinny heel whereas a social dancer or a younger dancer will want a thicker, more flared shaped heel to feel more stable and solid on the floor. Luckily, we have all of these options available for you!
Browse our heels below (go all the way to the bottom for kids heels and men's heels) and if the heel you like isn't available on the shoe you're looking to order, then let us know by emailing us or calling us on +44(0)1908 319937.Please note that all heel heights are measured from the middle of the heel when viewed from the side, and not from the back of the heel.
ELITE
Our Elite heel has been developed with many of the world's leading competitive dancers. It is a slim heel with the heel centred further down the arch for a really sleek and stylish look. We have a 2.5" Elite and 3" Elite heel available and this is available on all of our Ladies Latin shoes. Pictured above you can see the 3" Elite heel on the left and the 2.5" Elite heel.
IDS
The IDS heel is our classic heel and the most traditional. It is a flared heel and offers the very best in stability and balance. It is very popular on the Ladies Latin, Ballroom and Social shoes and it has 2" IDS, 2.5" IDS, 3" IDS and 3.5" IDS versions available. From left to right can see the 2" IDS heel, 2.5" IDS heel, 3.5" IDS heel and furthest right is the 3" IDS heel.
VOGUE
Our stylish Vogue heel is best described as a slightly flared version of our 'Ultra Slim' heel (further below) or a slimmer and more sleek version of our 'IDS' flared heel (seen above). It's available on heights of 2" (5.2cm), 2.5" (6.5cm), 3" (7.8cm) and 3.5" (9cm) on Latin shoes and 2" & 2.5" on Ballroom shoes. This elegant heel blends the ultimate in style with exceptional balance and comfort, taking inspiration from heels often worn for Argentinian Tango dancing. The slight flaring out at the bottom enhances that crucial feeling of stability of the dander, giving you even more confidence when you step out onto the floor.
SLIM
Whilst our Elite heel is our sleek and stylish slimmer heel for Latin shoes, our Slim heel is our slim option for Ballroom. Much like our Elite heel, this is a tapered heel which a stylish look. It's one of our original designs and the difference between this and the Elite heel is that the tip of the heel is further back toward the heel which is better for Ballroom and we have a 2" Slim (pictured on the right), 2.5" Slim (middle) and 3" Slim (left) heel available.
ULTRA SLIM
The Ultra Slim heel is the slimmest of the heels we offer and is available on Ladies Latin and Social shoes. It's one for the confident ladies and is very similar to the kind of heel found on Argentinian Tango shoes. It is available as a 2.5" Ultra Slim (pictured left), 3" Ultra Slim (middle) and 3.5" Ultra Slim (right) heel.
OTHER LADIES & GIRLS HEELS
