Heels

We offer wide range of heels to suit you, your style, and desired look. Some of the world leading Latin competition dancers will like a tall, skinny heel whereas a social dancer or a younger dancer will want a thicker, more flared shaped heel to feel more stable and solid on the floor. Luckily, we have all of these options available for you!

Elite (International Dance Shoes)

Elite heel has been developed with many of the world's leading competitive dancers. It is a slim heel with the heel centred further down the arch for a really sleek and stylish look. We have a 2.5" Elite and 3" Elite heel available and this is available on all of IDS Ladies Latin shoes. Pictured above you can see the 3" Elite heel on the left and the 2.5" Elite heel.

IDS (International Dance Shoes)

The IDS heel is a classic heel and the most traditional. It is a flared heel and offers the very best in stability and balance. It is very popular on the Ladies Latin, Ballroom and Social shoes and it has 2" IDS, 2.5" IDS, 3" IDS and 3.5" IDS versions available. From left to right can see the 2" IDS heel, 2.5" IDS heel, 3.5" IDS heel and furthest right is the 3" IDS heel.

Vogue (International Dance Shoes)

Stylish Vogue heel is best described as a slightly flared version of IDS 'Ultra Slim' heel (further below) or a slimmer and more sleek version of our 'IDS' flared heel (seen above). It's available on heights of 2" (5.2cm), 2.5" (6.5cm), 3" (7.8cm) and 3.5" (9cm) on Latin shoes and 2" & 2.5" on Ballroom shoes. This elegant heel blends the ultimate in style with exceptional balance and comfort, taking inspiration from heels often worn for Argentinian Tango dancing. The slight flaring out at the bottom enhances that crucial feeling of stability of the dander, giving you even more confidence when you step out onto the floor.

Slim (International Dance Shoes)

Whilst the Elite heel is a sleek and stylish slimmer heel for Latin shoes, IDS Slim heel is a slim option for Ballroom. Much like Elite heel, this is a tapered heel which a stylish look. It's one of IDS original designs and the difference between this and the Elite heel is that the tip of the heel is further back toward the heel which is better for Ballroom and we have a 2" Slim (pictured on the right), 2.5" Slim (middle) and 3" Slim (left) heel available.

Ultra-Slim (International Dance Shoes)

The Ultra Slim heel is the slimmest of the heels we offer and is available on IDS Ladies Latin and Social shoes. It's one for the confident ladies and is very similar to the kind of heel found on Argentinian Tango shoes. It is available as a 2.5" Ultra Slim (pictured left), 3" Ultra Slim (middle) and 3.5" Ultra Slim (right) heel.
