Very Tango Store

Nice selection on line, many options, everything looks great. Arrived as promised. However, when shoes arrived, they were all suede instead of all leather, the heel was 3.5" instead of the ordered 2.5" - huge difference. Couldn't use them even if I wanted to, also because shoes of 2.5" needed to be ordered a size larger - which makes them too large with heel of 3.5". Overall, pretty poor quality for almost $200 cost - cheap Chinese staff, not at all the nice brands advertised online. Customer service (only email, no way of contacting them on the phone) was very nice but totally unhelpful. Kept dragging time, promising to respond in two days (responding after multiple reminders over 1-2 weeks). Finally I realized that they were trying to get me out of the dispute timeframe, and filed a dispute with Visa (luckily, I paid with visa card). Visa was great as always, I received my refund, but it all took about 2 months of headache.

BEWARE. This merchant is quite new (US site registered 2011-09-29 via godaddy.com) and lures you in with known brand tango shoes. This is all smoke screen in camouflage. See pictures and full story at http://goo.gl/PqDNID - I ordered two pair of shoes thinking "Hey, this site advertises big tango brands: Greta Flora, 2x4 AlPie, Artesanal... so the shoes must be good quality". What a joke. The catch is that the other shoes, whose brands are newer revealed, are ALL MADE IN CHINA (brand name: Natural Spin). The merchant is ripping people off by selling, as other China based companies do, bad copies of existing high brand models with almost the same price.

The quality of these China made shoes are no match for real known brands, no matter how similar they may look in the pictures. The Web site only saves "good reviews" and all critical reviews are automatically deleted. The problems with these CHINA MADE shoes are many: leather is wrinkled inside the toe cup, the toe cup's upper lining is horribly cheap looking and exposed to the outside, the bottom's sole rocks the shoe when put on straight table, glue spots are visible etc. And did I mention that they look cheap on dance floor.

The seller's (Eran Braverman) response for possibility to get a refund is illuminating [men's are lower quality (hence I sell 2x4) the women's are as top quality as any of the brands. I have many customers who have bought other top Argentinean women's tango shoes, and have rejected them to us, and tell us that our brand is superior] Yeah right. Check out how "2x4 Al Pie" shoes with their specially constructed free movement soles that offer superior maneuverability for the ball of the foot -- usually considered the Rolls Royce of men's Tango Shoes -- are such a low quality at their homepage http://www.2x4alpie.com/

My 2 women's tango shoe order was received 2013-10-13 and the id from the merchant was #2254

Happy throwing away your money with the "Natural Spin" women's tango shoes.
