Zapatos de Tango ... I've gone a bit shoe crazy I think
WARNING: The following post deals solely with ladies shoes, so if you are not interested in ladies shoes, please do not read any further. 
Today i bought 4 pairs of tango shoes. Don't know how it happened, I walked into the store just to browse, and walked out with 4 pairs of shoes. I just couldn't bear to leave any of them behind. I would call it temporary insanity, except that I don't regret my purchases, even if it means that I might need to live off a diet of bread and water for the rest of my trip.
Even worse is that it now brings my tango shoe tally to a grand total of 9 pairs!
The justification:
- Tango shoes are relatively cheap here, average around $80 (half of cost of equivalent shoes in Aust). The total cost of all 9 pairs of shoes are probably equivalent to Loreen's recent Prada shoe purchase (in London).
- You can't get the same shoes anywhere else.
- I can wear at least half of the shoes out to parties ... so they're not limited to tango dancing.
- And last, but not least, they're SO pretty!
Here is a selection of some of the shoes
This first pair is my favourite. The heel is crazy-high (9cms!) but strangely comfy (you can tell that the shoe was made/designed by a dancer).
Can also be worn for salsa.
Funky stripes, and gotta luv the red trim!
