Madame Pivot dance shoes made in Italy

In 2007, two tango dancer friends from Florence came up with the brilliant idea of ​​producing tango shoes. Ideal conditions for sustainable production on site  and precise knowledge of the needs of tango dancers, a short time after the founding of the company “Madame Pivot” brought the first tango shoes onto the market, which quickly conquered the hearts and feet of tango dancers in Italy and gradually in other European countries. 

The company, based near Florence, has the shoes produced in various factories in Tuscany and brands. Madame Pivot also invests in this small family business in order to buy special machines that allow  to create new and better shoes for our customers. Madame Pivot contributes to this tradition of shoe manufacturing in Italy  preserved. 

Initially open-front tango shoes for women with slim heels were produced, later tango shoes with smaller Roccheto heels, versions with suede soles or rubber soles, shoes closed at the front, vegan shoes and summer sandals. Equipped with a “brilliant” in the left heel, Madame Pivot shoes shine on all dance floors.
