Mary Art. 166 - Smooth and Folk - 5HR Spool Heel - Silver Microglitter Laminated Leather - 2CAI Strap | Nicole Dance Shoes

On the ballroom dance floor, every detail counts. The Mary art. 166 was created for those who take ballroom dancing seriously: a shoe that does not just look beautiful, but supports every step with technical precision and genuine comfort. The silver laminated leather catches the light with every turn, embellished by silver micro-glitter fabric that adds depth and visual movement without being excessive.

The butterfly strap upper is a highly enveloping model, also suitable for slimmer feet or wide-fit needs: it embraces the foot with precision, eliminating unwanted movement during figures. The Mod. 2CAI cross-ankle strap secures the ankle firmly, distributing pressure evenly to ensure maximum stability during the rotational movements typical of ballroom and mazurka. The breathable genuine leather lining ensures hygiene and comfort, even during the longest sessions.

The 5HR flared heel (5 cm) offers a central center of gravity that is ideal for quick turns and Romagna folk dance figures: stable, precise, and never fatiguing. There is no platform on this shoe. The Mod. F1P1 semi-rounded open toe elegantly enhances the line of the foot. The pumiced leather sole is slightly suede-like to the touch: it ensures the right amount of glide on the ballroom floor with greater flexibility than rubber, and is recommended exclusively for indoor use. The soft, anti-shock, and antibacterial memory gel insole cushions every impact without losing movement sensitivity.

Crafted with artisanal stitching and high-quality materials, the Mary art. 166 is a Made in Italy shoe by Nicole, designed for ballroom and Romagna folk dancing and also recommended for tango. Scratches on laminated leather are often irreversible: carefully consider its use in intense partner dance settings.
