About Elpadrino

It all started back in 2014.

I always had the desire to be able to make a tango shoe that covers the greatest number of requirements that professional dancers need.

A shoe that is elegant, that goes with a good suit, traditional but versatile, with excellent quality leather, comfortable, very resistant, that does not deform, that does not look like a shoe from other dance disciplines, that covers all the details that we dancers wish.

It was a long journey, study, trial and error but finally, together with my great work team, we made this a reality since June 2016.

As all dancers will know, having good footwear is very important and not always easy to obtain despite the great offer that exists in the current market.

“El Padrino Shoes”’s motto is to maintain the highest quality of a gentleman’s footwear, keeping its elegance and style, adapted to all the details and comforts that a professional dancer may have.
