Tango Argentino u Zadru – Hrvatska – Naslovnica

Are there any women out there who dance tango, and hate wearing high heels?

sometimes high heels have been so painful that I feel indescribable spite. Yet I know women are expected to wear heels by the tango community.So more specifically, are there really good solutions you ladies have for making 3-3.5 inc heels way less painful,and more advice, and shared experiences? I love the aesthetics of high heels and Argentine tango, but after a night dancing in just 2-2.5 inch heels, my feet can be killing me.

I’m not a big fan of heels and agree that things like tango seem to require them. You may want to try some custom made shoes, this is pricey but at least the shoes aren’t going to pinch and add to the discomfort. Otherwise it’ll have to be gel cushions I’m afraid.

    Have you tried any of the gel pads?

    Man, I wish I could dance. Expecially the Tango.

    I can’t dance at all. No matter what the pain, count yourself lucky!

    get the lowest heel for character shoes
    high heels are usually used for tango but the professionals are the ones that really use them
    go to ur local dance shop or just find character shoes online
    i would go with 1/2 inch

    im a ballroom dancer and one day during practice a move my partner and i were doing went wrong..ouch!! i landed on my heel and it broke off! it was a bit funny but i had to get a new shoe!

    if necessary, wear gel pads..they bring up the ball of ur foot, decreasing the height of the heel

    good luck!
