What to look for when buying tango shoes: My entire collection of 13+ pairs collected over 12 Years

Curious about the best tango shoes for Argentine tango? Join me as I share my complete tango shoe collection, with 13 pairs accumulated over 12 years of dancing! Whether you’re a beginner looking to buy your first pair of tango heels or an experienced dancer curious about various brands, this video has insights for everyone. I’ll discuss my experiences with top tango shoe brands, including Regina, Tangolera, Bandolera, Mono, Madreselva, Werner Kern, Souple, and Sur from the perspective of a professional tango dancer!

CHECK OUT THE COMMENTS FOR THE REST OF THE SHOE NOTES!

Each pair has a unique story in my dance journey, and I’ll cover the key points that matter most when choosing tango shoes—comfort, durability, style, and fit. If you’re wondering how to select tango shoes that fit your style and needs, this is a deep dive you won’t want to miss. Don't feel pressured to have as many shoes as I do! They are my work tool, and fashion is my hobby. One great pair is enough!

This video isn’t sponsored by any of the brands mentioned, and all opinions are my own. I’ve provided notes on each pair in the description below for your reference. My feet are narrow, and I had ankle surgery so ankle support is very important for me. Finding shoes that suit your feet is a unique journey since everyone has different body needs and preferences. What works well for me may not be the perfect fit or feel for you. If possible, I highly recommend trying shoes on in person to ensure a good fit—but remember, the real test will always be on the dance floor!

If you’re interested in Regina shoes, I have a code for a discount when shopping through the U.S. distributor’s site: DAGNY10. Please note, if you choose to use this code, I do earn a small commission at no extra cost to you, and I’d be so grateful for the support!

1:05 Werner Kern/ Nueva Epoca “Nora” https://www.werner-kern.com/Nora/KRN2...
Description: $189, Black with a closed heel cage, closed front, suede, and 9cm heel
This was my first pair of “tango” shoes post ballroom shoes. They are suuuuper high and I can’t wear shoes this high anymore, but they are super pretty and very stable with a closed heel cage and nice strap.

1:59 Souple https://soupleshoes.com/productos
Description: $250? Gunmetal grey/ textured, closed gel cage, straps at the front, suede, 7cm heel
This pair was gifted by my ex at the time. It was my first “Argentine Tango” pair of shoes. The website wasn’t easy to use, I count’ click on any products so many they only sell in person. I am estimating that the pair was $250 since I saw a used pair on eBay for $210.
