Dear Robin,
we had an Argentinian teacher here who was great fun, and he is stationed in
Rome. Gustavo Saenz 0039-06-4457224, gusaenz @yahoo.com.
He danced in "Evita".

Subject: Re: Tango Shoes
I would like to correct one statement made by Robin Tara in her recent
posting. Susana Villarroel is not selling Fatomano's shoes. Susana worked
for Fatomano for 25 years, but formed her own business, Artesanal, about
three years ago. I have bought shoes from Fatomano in the past, and now buy
my shoes from Susana. I find her shoes to be much more comfortable, and she
uses a better grade of leather than Fatomano or Flabella. She also has some
styles that I have not seen at either of those places. I am now selling her
shoes here in the States, and will soon have pictures of several styles on
my website, www.apurotango.com. Also, I have been buying shoes in Buenos
Aires for the past eight years, and I have never seen the metal plate that
was referred to by Sang.

Subject: Re: Tango Shoes
Sorry, I made a mistake. Linda is right, Susana has a company called
Artesanal. Her shoes are pretty good - better than most available in BsAs. I
had some problems with her sizing and quality control when I bought from
her, (in fact the two prettiest pair arrived at my hotel about two sizes
smaller than what I had ordered). But, hey, at least they actually got made
in time.
Her colors are pretty and the shoes are lighter than those from Flabella or
Fatomano. They have very thin soles and very little support, but her designs
are quite nice. She will make custom shoes in a good variety of colors.
Good luck with your venture, Linda.

For you & Eugenia to ask the rest of us to discuss or not discuss
something is out of line. This forum is for all topics relating to
tango. Just because one bores you is no reason to try to censor the
rest of us. Use the delete key. And maybe introduce something
you are interested in. And no matter how long you discuss shoes
or whatever I will never, ever ask you to shut up.

Dear List,
I have to issue a correction to my own posting
this past Monday.
I checked the facts and found out that for our
Labor Day Weekend in Denver,
alas, much to my chagrin,
and embarassment,
we do not, repeat not, have live music.
We do, however, have three evenings of excellent
deejayed music, plus classes and get-togethers,
plus lots of out-of-towners (I'm hosting eight
or nine of them - - break out the tents!)
For details, please check postings on Tango-A.
My mega-apologies to those, who like myself,
just love live music. We do have live music
so often in Colorado, with two bands, that
I made an incorrect assumption.
Sorry,
Dave Schmitz
Denver

Subject: Tango Shoes
Again, I have to disagree with Robin. I'm not sure when you last bought
Susana's shoes, but I bought some as recently as this March. They do not
have "very thin soles," in fact, I find the soles to be thicker than those
from Flabella, although thinner than those used by Fatomano, which I
personally felt were a little too thick As for support, once again, I think
in that department they are far better than Flabella or Fatomano. I find
that I can dance much longer and more comfortably in Susana's shoes than
those from Flabella or Fatomano. Of course, shoes are a very subjective
matter. Everyone has their own preferences, and it's really a question of
trial and error until you find what is right for you. Several men have
contacted me to ask if I will be selling men's shoes. The answer is yes. One
of my students who went on my Bs. As. tour this past March stands 6ft 5in.
and wears an American size 16. He has to get almost all his street shoes
custom-made. He ordered shoes from Susana (she joked that they'd have to use
the whole cow for his shoes!) and he was so pleased with the results that he
immediately ordered three more pairs. I will try to have all the shoe info
up on my website in the next week.
