Carlos Art. 303 - Men's Ballroom & Folk - 2.5HSU Heel - Black Suede - 2CAL Laces | Nicole Dance Shoes

Not all dance shoes are created equal. The Carlos art. 303 is crafted in an Italian workshop, featuring an upper in black suede selected for its natural softness and ability to adapt to the shape of the foot without pressure points. The construction is seam-free at the sole of the foot—a precise technical choice that eliminates irritation during long dance sessions.

The closure is secured by non-waxed cotton laces Mod. 2CAL, designed to stay tied and not slip throughout the entire session. The closed square-toe design Mod. F5P2 accommodates regular to wide feet, offering a stable and secure fit. Inside, there is a lining and non-slip insole in genuine leather, with a soft antibacterial, anti-shock memory gel footbed that protects the sole and absorbs impact.

The buffalo suede sole is the softest and most flexible for dancing: it slides but not too much, ensuring the right grip for fluid and controlled movements. The buffalo sole is soft and brushed, providing the right traction on almost any floor—it is recommended for indoor use only and should be cleaned with a dedicated wire brush.

Handcrafted Italian construction, made in Italy, with a standard men's 2,5HSU heel for a natural center of gravity and maximum step control. The Carlos art. 303 is Nicole’s standard dance model, ideal for Liscio and Romagna folk dance, and also recommended for Caribbean, tango, kizomba, and practice. Available in sizes 39–48.
