To Buy or Not to BuyShop for flamenco shoes on Ebay, and you will see countless listings. A closer inspection will show one reason: many people buy flamenco shoes thinking they are going to take flamenco dance up as a hobby and give up this demanding discipline within months. Sometimes weeks. A flamenca doesn’t stop being a novice for years sometimes and even beginners’ shoes are made to go that distance!

Learn from the Ebayers: you do not need to invest in a quality pair of flamenco shoes in the first months of your flamenco dance. That said,
A buon mercato Nike Roshe Run Uomini Nero Rosso Uk online Salestore, it is difficult if not impossible for a beginning flamenco student to dance without appropriate footwear. Here are some options.

Use a sturdy heel with a strap. I did this the first few weeks (minus the first class when I showed up in a zumba outfit!) Now, any time I’m wearing sturdy heels (boots are best actually),
Femmes Authentiques Bas Prix Nike Free Run 3 Noir Argent Blanc Vous Pouvez Obtenir Tous Les Styles Et Tous Les Coloris De Tous, I try a few tacons and a golpe or two to test the sound. It is never the same, of course, but you can get a feel for the movement.

Buy a pair of character shoes. These are widely available in dance stores and discount dance websites. They look like flamenco shoes, minus the nails. They are not as sturdy,
Ankle Cuff Shoes,
Auténtico De Pedidos En Línea Nike Roshe Run Mujeres Negro Blanco Zapatos Para Usted Con El Envío Rápido y Gratuito a Su Hogar, and they will not do for more than a few weeks, but they are much cheaper than even the lowest level of flamenco shoes. Buy these only if you do not own suitable heels.

But a pair of cheap flamenco shoes. I found a pair of Miguelitos for $60. They did not make a great sound,
1514, but they were sturdy enough and hand the nails. I practiced with them for months.

Utilize your predecessors’ mistakes: buy a used pair on Ebay. This can be tricky as sizing is different in flamenco shoes, but, again, the cost is much cheaper than even Miguelitos usually. On the flip side,

DO NOT use tap shoes. The shape might be the same, but the sound is completely different.

If you have been flamenco dancing for a few months and you have withstood the abuse of your Spanish born teacher this long it is probably time to invest in a pair of quality flamenco shoes,

Ordering Shoes On LineHow do you feel about ordering shoes on line? It’s a great way to choose from a wide variety of shoes. It’s fine if you are careful or only order from certain sites. If so, here are some criteria the keep in mind:

Look for rigidity. Twist the shoe if it gives,
Vente En Ligne Femmes Chaussures De Course Nike Roshe Run PRM Homme Noir Sport vert Volt Vous y Trouverez Les Dernières Styles, it is not supportive enough for the zapateado (footwork) you will be executing. (NB: You probably shouldn’t try this in Spain I’ve gotten yelled at just for putting my finger on merchandise.)

Look for a thick sole. Again, the flamenco dance involves using your feet as percussive instruments you want as much protection as possible! A good sole will be leather with a thick rubber or cushioned covering.

Choose a low heel. Unless you are accustomed to dancing in higher heels,
Tips for Choosing The Right Footwear, choose a "cubano" heel or a low (5 cm) heel. The cubano heel provides a wide base ideal for beginning dancers.

Choose leather or suede. It is unlikely you will find synthetic material in a flamenco store, but if you do for some reason,
Golf Gifts For Your Golf Enthusiasts, avoid it. The shoes need to conform to your feet, which doesn’t happen with synthetic material. Leather is more rigid and will keep its shape longer; suede is easier to break in at the beginning. (I chose suede.)

Get nails. They are essential for the tapping sound. They should cover a wedge shape at the toe and completely cover the heel. They should overlap just slightly and be securely set in,

Buy black. Green blue red tan is not really the new black when it comes to flamenco. Black is black, and it is always traditional. You can wear them with any costume. (I got blue flames on my toes,
