Penelope Art. 195S - Caribbean - 9cm Stiletto Heel - Black Satin Aurora Borealis Rhinestones - 3CAI Strap | Nicole Dance Shoes

Every dance session begins with what you can't see: the 4 mm memory gel insole of the Penelope art. 195S absorbs every impact from the first step to the last, complemented by an ergonomic footbed that distributes weight evenly and reduces fatigue in the ball of the foot, even on the longest nights. The internal lining made of breathable, anti-odor genuine leather — featuring silver ion technology — keeps the foot cool and hygienic during intensive sessions, without compromising the shoe's overall lightness.

On the outside, the black satin fabric brings a subtle and controlled sheen that catches the dance floor lights, complemented by the aurora borealis rhinestones applied to the upper: iridescent reflections that change hue with every movement, making this shoe brilliant without ever weighing down its silhouette. The 9HR spool heel — with a central center of gravity — provides significant height with security guaranteed by the spool design, perfect for jumps and turns in Caribbean dances.

The criss-cross instep strap with Mod. 3CAI eyelet is the technical detail that makes the Penelope 195S a model with a distinctive and elegant double cross: the strap wraps around the instep, passes underneath, and then through an eyelet that keeps it securely in place, preventing any slipping during complex figures and continuous rotations. The heel with a silicone grip adds an extra anchor point for stability during fast turns. The brushed buffalo sole — soft and suede-like — offers total control during complex figures and advanced techniques: it must be used exclusively indoors and cleaned with a specialized wire brush.

The Mod. F1P1 toe — semi-rounded open toe with a single strap — is suitable for standard feet and enhances the line of the foot with a balanced opening. Multi-layer reinforcements and double stitching on all stress points ensure resistance to wear during the most intense sessions. The Penelope 195S is handcrafted by Nicole, with a black satin upper and aurora borealis rhinestones, genuine breathable leather lining, ideal for salsa, bachata sensual, kizomba, and liscio.
