i found the men's shoe styles not to be very different from other makers, probably due to the order of my visit.
instead, i walked across to the other side of the road to another maker and bought my shoes there where the selection was better.

Alright ladies,

I can't keep the secret to myself for any longer as more tangueras who have recently visited Buenos Aires are showing up at the practicas in their sexiest heels.

So for those of you who are heading down south, whether you're male or female, check out the hottest tango shoemaker in town:

Comme Il Faut
Alicia Muniz, (Owner)
Arenales 1239, Puerta 3, Depto M. (near Rue de Artisans)
Buenos Aires
Argentina
Mobile: +54 (11) 15 4411 7649
Business: +54-11-4815 5690

Sorry, ladies shoes only. On average around US$80/pair (any price updates from people who've just been?)

Happy shopping.

Need we say more?

I had similar problems with lead time for shoes being made for me at Flabella whilst I was in Buenos Aires. Not very reliable despite them telling their customers that they are able to make the shoes and deliver them to your hotel. As I had not left them with a deposit, I was able to walk away after visiting their store several times.

Another place where I puchased shoes 'off the shelf' was at Darcos. Their details can be found at www.darcostango.com. Both mens and ladies shoes are available.
