Excellent product, superb leather, great handcrafted manufacturing. However they should offer Fedex or DHL delivering since the USPS delivering option is a mess.

An amazing Dancer and friend , Amparito from Salsa Cooperative, spoke to me about these shoes. Quality all over. The looks are amazing in person. I want something dependable and best quality when it comes to my feet. Which Is why I have chosen to buy me a pair. To enjoy my journey in dancing as best as I can
Fred Marshall –
Love these shoes! I have plantar fasciitis and had a bit of a hard time getting the right fit.
Jose showed great patience working with me to make sure we got the right fit making adjustments with both his liners snd my inserts.
Up here in Wisconsin I can wear them in the slop and snow, then slide into a salsa club and start dancing without skipping a beat. I like them so much I started wearing them with my dress suits for business.
Jose Botta –

Estaba buscando zapatos de baile que pudieran ser usados en varias superficies para no tener que estar cambiando de zapatos al entrar o salir de la pista de baile para evitar que se danen y estos son perfectos porque puedo usarlos en diferentes tipos de piso.
Ademas leei muy buenas referencias en la pagina sobre el producto y la forma de Jose de apoyar a las personas en todas las dudas para poder seleccionar el mejor producto y puedo corroborar personalmente que todo es correcto.
El producto, la atencion y rapidez fueron excelentes.

Anything that makes my life easier is worth the money to me. I have 3 pairs of Botta’s and they are by far the best dance shoes on the market. Comfortable, lightweight and ready to work for you on the dance floor. I know they are good because I don’t think about them while I’m dancing. Stress free! You can walk in the street, in the rain, and not worry about them giving problems on a dance floor seconds later. Smooth on any surface from pro studio floors, to dirty bar floors, to concrete floors. I recommend them to all my friends. Stop buying those cheap, felt-bottom and rubber-bottom dance shoes…….. Glad I found Botta’s!

I recently purchased The Charlie Shoe for my boyfriend. Jose Botta has the best customer service! With in a few hours of my request, he personally delivered the shoes to my place of business and explained to me all the great features of the shoe! My boyfriend loves them. He can wear them in any setting and he loves how much cushioning and support the shoe provides. He not only wears them out to dance salsa but he also wears them to work every day now as well. Thank you Jose Botta! My gift was a huge success thanks to you!
Jose Botta –
Vera I was thrilled to hear that a tremendous Salsa/Bachata dancing champion like yourself requesting our product, I am glad I was able to encourage you to take my personal favorite shoe model named “Charlie” and am seeing the results couldn’t have been better.
Thanks again for your trust on my recommendation and involving the Jose Botta company on your wonderful gift for your significant other. Gracias

I currently own both the Charlie and R-10 Black Patent [leather] models.
While attending the NY International Congress (NYISC) earlier this month, I noticed Jose’s booth, and that he had shoes with a very low heel.
I’m in the last stages of recovering from micro-tears in one of my Achilles tendons. So, in order to regain full flexibility, I need to maintain full-range of motion (and stretch) in my ankle, as often as possible. Jose’s low-heeled shoes really help to make that happen.
Also, a few days prior to the NYISC, I’d strained both my groin and hip flexor, in a weightlifting accident. So, throughout the event, my hip was alternating between tightness from trying to heal, and temporary periods of relief.
I initially tried on the Charlie (model). Instantly, I felt more aligned, as compared to my own dance shoes, with the 1″ heel. Not only do the low heels help me to regain ankle flexibility. But, they are very supportive throughout the foot. The insoles are also very supportive, yet provide enough cushion for comfort, without being unnecessarily “springy.”
These shoes made a big difference for me throughout the remainder of the Congress. They also helped to reduce my tendencies to develop destructive compensatory movements (as a result of my injured-state). Also, the shoes are also true to US sizing.
And, I liked the Charlie model so much, that I purchased a pair of the R-10 Black Patent [leather] model, the next day. They have the same great fit and support, but with that great patent leather style.
I also really enjoy the versatility of the sole, which doesn’t require a dancer to change into street shoes for brief trips to their car. As well as not absorbing water from a wet restroom floor. I am looking forward to trying them for outdoor events. Jose, and his staff, are extremely helpful and cooperative.
At this point, these shoes are my “go to” shoes for all of my social dancing events [Salsa & Argentine Tango].
Great product, Jose.
It’s a pleasure doing business with you.
Jose Botta –
Wow speechless, I do remember how happy you were when try shoes, and I still remember that huge happy face after dancing and so on, but learning from you experience all the benefits you getting ! WOW !!!! I need to start charging people more hehehe Joking lol. I am so our product really helps dancers lifestyle !!!! Thanks for amazing feedback, truly appreciated
Mick From Australia –
I had excllent personal service when purchasing shoes with Jose Botta. Buying shoes from the USA when you live in Australia is wholly based on trust. Being able to ring and speak to Jose on the phone and get all the details correct was a bonus. The shoes arrived very fast, were perfectly packed and I was able to track them on the journey (which was fun).
The shoe quality is top-rate, and the super-tough, super-danceable soles (as I have written elsewhere) are exactly as advertised.
Jose Botta –
A pleasure and honored to served you, I am glad you keep the eye on our product, we truly appreciated, enjoy your shoes and Please feel free to spread the word about our amazing shoes. Regards JB itself
