Estela Art. 115 - Caribbean - 5HR Spool Heel - Dark Flesh Satin - 2CAI Crisscross Strap | Nicole Dance Shoes

The 5HR spool heel of the Estela 115 is not a style choice: it is a technical decision. With its fluid center of gravity, it facilitates the cross-body lead and complex turn patterns of New York-style salsa on2, keeping weight distributed naturally across the entire sole — a quality you can feel with every weight transfer, every pause, and every return to the rhythm. For those who dance traditional Dominican bachata, 5 centimeters is exactly the right height: enough to enhance posture, yet close enough to the ground to ensure full freedom in lateral movements.

The multi-strap cage upper in dark nude satin fabric wraps the foot with a fit suitable for regular shapes, while the Mod. 2CAI cross-ankle strap distributes pressure evenly, securely locking the ankle without ever feeling tight. The satin fabric is ultra-flexible and lightweight: it offers no resistance to movement, doesn't weigh down the step, and doesn't distract from the music.

Internally, the 4mm anti-shock and antibacterial memory gel insole absorbs impact and reduces fatigue in the sole even during the longest sessions — essential at Cuban salsa, merengue, and kizomba congresses where you dance for hours. The anti-slip genuine leather footbed and genuine leather lining complete a precise, hygienic, and comfortable fit from the very first use.

The buffalo suede sole — soft, brushed, with the right grip on almost all indoor floors — provides the contact with the floor that every dancer seeks to feel the rhythm under their feet. The Estela 115 is handcrafted in Italy and designed for those who practice Caribbean and Latin American dances and are looking for a technical shoe that doesn't compromise on lightness.
