flamenco shoes
Heeled percussion footwear
Flamenco shoes are specialized footwear designed for flamenco dancing, featuring reinforced heels and toe caps that produce the percussive sounds essential to the art form.
The soles contain small nails that amplify the rhythmic footwork.
Women's versions typically have a sturdy heel of varying heights; men's wear a lower, blockier heel.
