100 Pair Of Shoes And A Tango

There is something about shoes and women.  We die for them.  We cannot walk by a shoe store without stopping.  Shoes are magical. They make us feel good.  We buy them even when we cannot afford them. Heels, flats, tennies, and boots.  We love them all.

Dancing Argentine Tango brings out the best of this affliction or addiction. Beautiful, delicate, and sensual, the shoes beg to be bought. I hear them call to me when I enter the stores. "BUY ME!" they scream. I try to turn a deaf ear.  One of the shoes stores known for outstanding quality is Artesanías Ar-Sil on Juan de Garay 908 in Buenos Aires, Argentina ( Tel 54-11-4362-3936) where the shoes are made to order.  Sra. Leo and her husband Antonio provide shoes for many of the shows and professional dancers in Buenos Aires.  Several famous dancers market their own line of shoes and use Artesanías Ar-Sil to craft them.

Artesanías Ar-Sil is one of the only stores in Buenos Aires to still use 100% leather in the construction of their shoes.  All of  the shoes are made by hand in their workshop. The measurements of each customer are carefully taken by daughter Silvia in their store on Juan de Garay.  Antonio, along with his son Ariel carefully craft each shoe to the measurements of the customer.  Customers have an array of styles, fabrics, and heels to choose from.  The combinations are endless.  This is heaven for tango shoe addicts.  Artesanías Ar-Sil also crafts shoes for men as well as women.

If you are looking for high quality dance shoes, you must put Ar-Sil on your list of places to check out on your next trip to Buenos Aires.  You will dance all night in beautiful comfortable shoes hand made to your specifications. What more can a shoe addict ask for?
