Last week I signed up a new client, so I celebrated by buying new tango shoes! I had to choose between two pairs I really loved, so I’m hoping another new client will come along soon so that I can go back for them.

I’m only half kidding about that, because these puppies are expensive. They have to be, because of the way they are made. They’re not just pretty shoes; they have to be engineered in a certain way to stand up to the abuse they take on the dance floor, and they have to be well padded without looking it, otherwise nobody would be able to dance in them. But Comme Il Faul shoes are an investment and worth every peso.

Here’s the video of the great tango shoe buying adventure!
