"Make a dance shoe respecting the artisanal manufacture of a lifetime" this means conserving and promoting Spanish craftsmanship by working the shoe entirely by hand.

What sets GALLARDO apart from other Flamenco footwear brands?

With much effort and dedication, the flamenco footwear brand Gallardo became known in the world of flamenco dancing as the best for its quality, detail, and sound.

It is important to emphasize that the sound of flamenco footwear is fundamental, regardless if you are a student or professional dancer, from the beginning you must choose a flamenco shoe of high quality and with an excellent sound to sharpen your ear.

The way to place the nails is special to ensure the best sound to the consumer. The Gallardo pair of shoes uses 300 nails and polished nails to take care of the wood where you dance.

The front part of the shoe is a hard tip to perform your dance steps as "tip, heel" and so the sound of the tip is solid and also to take care of the toes of your feet.

It is also important to note that all your shoes are sewn. NOT stuck. What allows you to use the shoe for many years while maintaining quality.

Olé Olé Flamenco and Gallardo footwear bring the best-selling models for you.

We bring to the American market the 3 Gallardo flamenco footwear style most used by flamenco dancers, instructors and professionals.

The Mercedes style is a famous style offered by Gallardo footwear. Which we would call Sara Baras style, elegant, classic and conservative. It is made of leather, black color that should not be missing in your closet.

We always say there are two basic colors of flamenco shoes that should never be missing in your closet. Having them is fair and necessary since they will match any flamenco garment. And the colors are black and shell.

The Yerbabuena style is a shoe with a more daring touch, a footwear model that everyone falls in love with. It fits with braids and is easy to adjust to any foot width.

The Turquesa Style is undoubtedly one of the most elegant shoe models offered by Gallardo, and for those women who like to look more stylish and elegant, we recommend the Turquesa (Turquoise) model.

This model is also used by the renowned flamenco instructor at the Amor de Dios flamenco school in Madrid, Sara Martín, for her stylized flamenco lessons.
