Latin dances require agility, athleticism, precision and balance in order to execute and perform at a high level.  The ability to keep toes pointed and on the floor and staying balanced during turns, spins and spirals can be challenging for many dancers.  A good latin shoe is made to be flexible in the toe portion of the shoe for this very reason.  Angelo Luzio makes an excellent latin shoe, a 5 strap vamp called Cyd.   An extra cushioned insole with suede non-slip liner and suede tipped 2″ heel give this shoe bonus points.  But the best part is that this shoe is extremely well balanced, and who of us couldn’t use a little more of that?  You can find it at Tango Rouge Ballroom Dancewear, of course.
