The men's International Killick Classic Latin are lightweight shoes influenced by Paul Killick, a World and British Professional Latin Champion. These shoes feature a new heel design which brings suede material over the back of the heel allowing greater protection, but it is still the standard 1.5" heel height. The padding is made of a gel material which gives them a nice soft fit great for long term wear, competition, or social dancing. These shoes will bring your dancing to the next level!
