Options
Once you determined your size you now have
different options to accommodate your shoes.
Finding
the balance between
stability and flexibility.
Soft materials are characterized by a high flexibility
and amortization due to shock absorbing characteristic of the materials while rigid materials are favoring a direct contact with the floor and offering stability.
With Tarquino you can combine all features in order to accommodate your shoes exactly the way you like them;
Which Leather
Soft
Rigid
will result in a more rigid and stable shoe with ditto characteristics in behavior. It will take the shoe a longer time to become elastic but this compensates more stability and a longer life span.
will give you a high level of comfort, they will stretch quicker and fit your feet faster like a second skin. While they are softer the top layer or lamina and the shoe in general will wear out faster than a more rigid leather.
Which Heel
Taco Francés
Taco Inglés
- is a common English heel,
- 1 cm to 2,5 in height (to preference),
- available in 2 materials;
- Wood
- Polymeric rubber
hard density to avoid compression
- is the classic wooden heel,
- 4,5 cm to 3,5 cm declining height
- concentric shaped
- tilts the axis forwards
- address the typical Milonguero style.
Which Sole
Suela - Leather
Chrome - Cromo
Chrome or grained leather sole;
- has a high porosity and rough structure which benefits grip.
- it needs to be brushed up because of the loss of its coarseness due to friction forces and absorption of dust and dirt.
- higher resistance load for the joints
Smoothed out leather sole;
- covers the whole base of the shoe
- sits underneath the heel and offers a rigid and stable structure.
- smoother and more slippery
- hardly moisture absorption due to low porosity which benefits prevailing forces in pivots and enrosques.
Which Heel Cap
Rubber
Chrome - Cromo
- smoother grip than rubber
- lower friction
- benefits pivots and enrosques
- is a high density material
- is more wear-resistant
- offers more brake capacity
