Especially love to everybody who wants it!!. I am sending these photos of a pair of Tango sandals that one of our tangueras, Wendi Prinsloo, bought from Lisa Kamhoot, who imports these fantastic and comfortable tango shoes from an Italian company, but Wendi discovered that they are just too narrow in the front for her feet. Would you include this information in a Tango newsletter to see if any dancers are interested in these stylish shoes? Ladies'Tango sandals: brand New. Size 5 (37), narrow fit with 8cm heels and padding on the sole, R2,000. (On the website they are selling for €140, so I am selling them for what they cost me) I have attached the photos of the shoes and Wendi's email address, as well as Lisa's.
