Snakeskin Print Dance Shoes
Snakeskin gives you texture rather than colour. The scale pattern catches light differently as the foot moves, so the shoe reads as detailed up close and as a warm mid-tone from a distance — closer to a neutral than most people expect from a print. Ten styles here for salsa and Latin, five of them boots. US sizes 5 to 11. Amazon's Choice with a money-back guarantee since 2012.
Snakeskin Print for Salsa & Latin
Nine of these styles are cut for salsa and eight for Latin — open toe, ankle strap, flexible suede sole. The pattern is doing the work a bright colour would do, without committing you to a colour that has to be matched to each costume.
Snakeskin Boots & Heels Class
Five styles are boots, which is a high proportion for a print. A patterned boot is a strong silhouette for heels class and commercial choreography, where the shoe is meant to be part of the look. Compare with leopard print and zebra print.
Snakeskin Print Dance Shoes — FAQ
Does snakeskin print work as a neutral?
Largely, yes. The pattern is built from warm mid-tones, so from a few metres it reads as a single neutral shade and only resolves into a pattern up close. It sits most easily with black, cream, gold and burgundy.
Are print dance shoes allowed in competition?
In Latin, showcase and open categories they are generally accepted. Syllabus and amateur ballroom categories often specify a plain tan or skin-tone shoe, so check your competition's dress regulations first.
What other animal prints do you carry?
Leopard print and zebra print dance shoes, plus flower print styles if you want a pattern without the animal print look.
