Strappy Latin Shoes VS Lace-Up Dance Shoes: Which Bachata Dance Shoes to Get?

 

Social dancing is fun, a way to express yourself through your style and dance moves! But with so many types of Bachata dance shoes to choose from, it’s hard to stick to a specific style.

Here at Yami’s, two Latin dance shoes that continuously sold out are our strappy and lace-up Latin dance shoes. They have their pros and cons, so we thought we’d compare the two to help you choose the comfy dance shoes that suit your style. Let’s dig in:

Strappy Latin Dance Shoes

Our strappy Latin dance shoes feature skinny yet durable straps that can be adjusted easily, thanks to our unique ankle closures. The straps anchor the feet to keep you perfectly balanced with every step. Also, the stylish straps make any outfit look good!

Sexy design: Our strappy social dance shoes are made to be seen! Wear it with your LBD or cocktail dress for a sexy, stylish look. The skinny straps give the illusion of narrower feet. 

Leg-lengthening: Bare your legs with confidence! Our Bachata strappy heels give the illusion of longer legs for an attractive silhouette. Wear it with jeans or a dress; it doesn’t matter. Our comfortable Latin dance shoes will highlight your best assets!

Best for toe-pointing: For dances with lots of toe-pointing, you simply cannot go wrong with strappy social dance shoes. The look of narrower feet and longer legs perfectly complement toe-pointing, 

Ideal for narrow feet: Although our strappy Latin dance shoes look good regardless of the foot width, it’s ideal for narrow feet just because of how the straps were designed.

Strappy Latin Shoes VS Lace-Up Dance Shoes: Which Style Suits You?

When it comes to choosing the style that suits you, it will depend on certain factors such as your personal style, the fit of the shoes, and your outfit too. If you love the look of regular party heels then you can’t go wrong with our strappy Latin dance shoes. These shoes look like regular heels but are made for dancing. 

If you’re all about the fit, get the style that provides better ankle and arch support. Bootie-style lace-ups are the best choice if you want comfy dance shoes with an adjustable fit. Our strappy Latin dance shoes often suit people with narrow or average foot width while the lace-ups are best for all foot widths, including those with wide feet.

Your choice of Latin dance shoe style will also depend on your outfit. If you love wearing cute cocktail dresses, LBDs, or formal dresses, we suggest the strappy Latin dance shoes just because the style is best worn dressed up. The lace-up social dance shoes are best for casual wear, especially the booties paired with short skirts or skinny jeans!
