Let’s talk about teachers’ shoes first: they all cover their feet like ordinary shoes.
Heel height: 2cm, 2.5cm to 5cm, and the heel type is square root. Suitable for the crowd: men and women who are older or really can’t wear high heels-they can’t stand themselves. The following is a comparison chart of several heights, which you can choose according to your own needs.
Shoe size: just choose your own daily shoe size, and different brands may have differences.
Next, high-heeled shoes: ladies’ high-heeled shoes are divided into many categories according to heel height and heel type.
Heel height: 5.5cm to 8.5cm, different brands. If you really don’t wear high heels and want to try, you can choose 5.5. Personally, I suggest wearing 7 or 7.5 directly. This is a more conventional height for two reasons: 1. The height of shoes really shows the long legs and strong gas field; 2, adapt to this height from the beginning, you can better exercise the strength of your ankles and soles, otherwise you will have to adapt to the process every time you start from a low level to adjust your weight when dancing. 8 and 8.5 Beginners should not try yet.
Heel type: horseshoe (with large contact area with the floor for best stability), vertebral heel and pen holder. Beginners suggest starting with the horseshoe. Although the spine heel and the penholder show long legs, they really test the footwork. Note: In addition, the stability of metal heel is not good, so be careful.
Strap: There are upper strap, lower strap and T-shape. Personal preferences vary from person to person.
Material: It is recommended that beginners choose ordinary satin. Bright or patent leather, is uncomfortable to wear or hard to control.
Shoe size: Generally, it is smaller than the daily shoe size, so it can be smaller by one size first, because the relationship between the sole and the floor is very important in Latin dance. If the shoes with normal size or large size have more toes, the stability is not good, and it is not easy to find the feeling of grasping the ground when moving. It depends on the individual. Just don’t buy a big one.
Finally: there are many brands and styles, so you can try them yourself. After all, this is a consumable, and the basic steps in the early stage are also very useless. It may be changed in a few months, so you don’t have to struggle too much when choosing, and you will find the right style slowly. In terms of quality, it’s generally a matter of price and goods.
