Menkes is a renowned brand that has adopted the most recent technologies to place them at the service of the concept and tradition of craftsmanship that have been a guarantee of the quality and resistance of all its products over the last 50 years.

Orders for Menkes shoes become available after a hand-crafted manufacturing process lasting between 30 and 40 days.



Choose the material:

Material: Leather Suede

Advice from esflamenco.com: The leather is harder, so that leather shoes will be more uncomfortable, at first; it takes some time to “tame” them. Nonetheless, leather shoes tend to last longer than suede ones. The suede shoes adapt very well to the shape of the foot of the person wearing them, but they also lose their shape more quickly, and the suede may eventually start peeling off. On the other hand, some people prefer suede shoes because of their elegance.

Important!
Ainhoa, Menkes and Triana
use a sizing system very similar to those used by other
Spanish flamenco shoemakers (Don flamenco, Gallardo, Arte FyL, etc...).
Bulería Sabates uses the European standard size. The European Standard used
by Bulería Sabates is one size more than the traditional Spanish flamenco
standard size. E.g. a 36 in Menkes is a 37 for Bulería Sabates.

Select the width of your shoes:

Narrow
Normal
Wide

Advice from esflamenco.com: When it comes to selecting the width of the shoe, consider that dancing shoes tend to give a little, and that if they are too wide for you they may eventually slip off.

Advice from esflamenco.com: Black is the colour that is most commonly used, both for practicing and for stage performances, because it combines well with almost any colour. However, it is not suitable to wear with a plain white dress, or with spots on a white backdrop, which are better accompanied by a shoe whose colour is white, camel, or the same colour as the spots. It also looks good when the colour of the shoes matches the colour of the skirt. For instance, red skirt = red shoes.

Select the type of heel

Heel Nº 1
(Classic heel)
5 cmts. - 2 inches.

Heel Nº 2
(Classic Heel)
7 cmts. - 2.36 inches.

Heel Nº 3
(Cuban)
5 cmts. - 2 inches.

Advice from esflamenco.com: The type of heel that is most commonly used by professionals is the 7-centimetre (2.36 inches) classic heel. However, it may be preferable for people who are learning to dance, or are not used to wearing shoes with heels, to start off with 5-centimetre (2-inch) classic heels. The Cuban heel is slightly wider than the classic heel, and it consequently provides greater stability. It is advisable for young girls and boys.
Choose whether you want them with nails or without nails:

With nails Without nails

Shoes that have nails are better suited for dancing; the picture on the right provides a detailed view of the arrangement of the nails on the sole of the shoe.

Advice from esflamenco.com: Normally, you will choose shoes with nails to dance on surfaces that are made of wood, dais, parquet or other similar materials. However, if you want them to practice at home, or if the floor in your dance school is of a terrazzo type, it will be best for you to choose shoes that don't have nails.
