Pont is the heel height of the shoes. The value of "Pont" changes as the shoe size change.
For example, 13 pont heel of a size 40 shoe is 8,7 cm and 13 pont heel of a size 35 shoe is 8,2 cm.
Approximately;
11 Pont: 7 - 7,5 cm (~3")
13 Pont: 8,2 - 8,7 cm (~3.5")
15 Pont: 9,8 - 10,4 cm (~4")
IMPORTANT: In our online store, shoes heels sizes are usually 13-Pont in product photos (unless stated otherwise).
With other heel-heights the shoes will look different because the shapes are different; as you can see below.
WOMEN'S SHOES
ErgoFlex: Super Comfortable Sole with Suede Cover
This is a superb option for those who prefer feeling the ground perfectly with feather-weight tango shoes. You will feel as if they are not there!
It is a good choice for experienced milongueras & milongueros and professionals. It is perfect for glamorous performances as it allows the ultimate flexibility and points & flexes.
This sole provides a good grip on the surface thanks to its suede cover, but has much less friction than neolyte soles. We use one layer of cushioning in this sole type to let you feel the ground as much as possible for a perfect and natural feeling of balance.
It is ideal to use this type of sole on a dance floor. Non-ideal surfaces (concrete, outdoors, etc.) may damage this sole quickly. It is a performance tool; a very good and elegant choice for intense dancing.
Standard Sole: Neolyte Rubber
Neolyte is a durable, rubber-based material that provides a firm but elastic structure. When compared to hard leather, neolyte is much more elastic, more ergonomic, comfortable and it is suitable for long hours of dancing.
It is a good choice for beginners, experienced milongueras & milongueros and professionals. Neolyte, unlike leather, is also good at enduring a certain level of wetness/humidity.
This sole has a good grip on the surface, but also allows pivots easily. It works well with the cushioning to support your feet.
Additionally, neolyte is also good for dancing on non-ideal, non-wood surfaces as it is both durable and provides an ideal level of friction.

Delivery from Turkey to Your Country
Standard Postal Service (PTT):
PTT is the national postal service of Turkey and is useful for delivering to many countries. It takes about 20-40 workdays to deliver depending on the destination. There is a chance of avoiding custom taxes with postal service but, to be clear, we cannot guarantee that. It has been more useful for buyers especially from Europe, based on our experience.
Even though it is sometimes more expensive than DHL Express for some destinations and it is much slower, you should consider this method if you want to try your chance for avoiding custom taxes up to a certain point.
If you are from Russia, Ukraine or Belarus, please check with us the current availability of cargo service. We deliver to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus with a regional cargo service whose specialty is this area, however, we always need to double check the availability because of the very unfortunate war situation going on.
DHL Express — Duties & Taxes Payable by Recipient
DHL's estimated delivery time varies according to the destination. Most deliveries take approximately 2–7 working days. For example, deliveries to European countries generally take 2–4 days, deliveries to the USA and Canada approximately 3–5 days, while deliveries to Australia and some other distant destinations may take approximately 10–15 days.
DHL Express is a non-DDP shipping service. Import duties, taxes and applicable customs clearance charges are not included in the shipping fee paid at checkout.
If customs charges are assessed, DHL generally notifies the recipient and provides payment instructions before or upon delivery.
The recipient is responsible for paying these charges directly to DHL. Failure to make the required payment may result in delivery delays, the shipment being held by customs or its return to the sender.
Please consider these additional charges when selecting DHL Express at checkout.
Customs & Duty (Especially for the EU Countries)
Especially for the EU, after the new regulations on VAT (since July 2021), please note that, it is possible duties will be applied to your orders.So if you are from the EU;
You may consider a slower delivery with standard postal service and try your chance on avoiding at least some of the customs expenses.
-
Postal Service deliveries may sometimes avoid some duties, however we cannot guarantee this.
-
With DHL Express, we always declare the exact value of goods. That is a legal obligation. So the duties are calculated based on this value.
-
With postal service, we can declare the goods with their sample values but we pay domestic taxes for this. For some destinations, you may see that postal service delivery will be more expensive than DHL Express. That is because of the domestic taxes. However, for EU destinations, postal service deliveries will mostly be more economical in the end, considering all.
-
On the other hand, we'd like to remind you that DHL Express is much faster and reliable. Please make sure to choose the best delivery option for you. You can always ask us if you hesitate.
We'd like to remind you that we do not have any jurisdiction about the customs applications and cannot interfere to the customs procedures. Please check the customs policy of your country to avoid any surprises.
Please note, we cannot accept returns because of duties.
