made in Italy, excellent quality open toe tango shoes with open heel cage and leather soles I purchased them preowned and only wore them twice - they are lovely and comfortable but the heel is too high for me there is lots of wear showing on these - please see photos, but you really don't notice it on the dance floor and they are stable, solid, cushy (memory foam insoles) and have tons of life left in them there doesn't seem to be any size marking on the bottoms, just the Tangolera stamp on the leather, but when I bought them they were advertized as a 36W and they do fit like a typical Italian tango shoe in 36 but a little wider, and I posted measurements in the photos :)
