Jose Botta didn’t design these shoes from a boardroom.
He built them from the dance floor.
As a social dancer himself, he understood the need for footwear that performs across real-world dance settings while maintaining a sleek, refined look.
When we first introduced our versatile dance shoe concept, it brought a new level of functionality to the dance community. Today, multi-surface dance shoes are more common, but our foundation remains rooted in authenticity, craftsmanship, and years of refinement.
Our shoes are handcrafted in Peru and continuously improved to meet the evolving needs of serious dancers.
We don’t follow trends.
We build performance.
Since 2008, we have been committed to redefining what a Latin dance shoe can deliver.
Long before versatility became a trend in the industry, Jose Botta set out to engineer a performance outsole designed specifically for the demands of salsa, mambo, and bachata dancers. The goal was clear: create a dance shoe that offered precision, stability, and reliability across multiple dance environments — without sacrificing comfort or style.
Years of research, development, and real-world testing led to the creation of our innovative outsole technology, which was officially recognized by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) as a utility invention.
This milestone reflects more than innovation. It represents leadership in the evolution of modern Latin dance footwear.
Being recognized by the USPTO is a proud achievement, but what matters most is how the shoes feel when you dance.
Dancers consistently share the same feedback:
- Increased confidence
- Reduced hesitation during turns
- Comfort for extended hours
- A natural connection to the floor
This is why our salsa dance shoes for men continue to earn loyalty within the Latin dance community.
