You can pick from numerous various types of heels for your tango shoes. However, finding the right heel is really crucial to you being able to dance the tango correctly and safely.
Let's start with the worst sort of heel that you can obtain for tango shoes. A small and slender heel is a hazardous heel for you to wear while dancing the tango. If your current heel is too small then it will not give your ankle the aid which it requires. An unsupported ankle is an ankle that is prone to pain. One of the easiest and most unpleasant wounds you can sustain is a sprained ankle.
On the other side of the rearfoot spectrum is the massive and chunky back heel. Sure, a huge heel may appear great with your chosen dance costumes but they will prevent you from moving appropriately. Bear in mind, you'll be dancing in reverse a lot while performing the tango and a huge heel has a rather good chance of becoming snagged on the ground and triggering you to tumble backwards.
A properly sized heel is one which provides your ankle a secure base with a height of around 2.5" inches. You will notice that many heels for tango shoes are plumper when it comes to the top, slimmer toward the center, and once more get plumper towards the base. The taper in the center gives the heel a slim visual appeal while still giving your heel and ankle the support it needs to execute the tango easily and correctly.
