We have so many rainy days this year... I should get colorful rain shoes.
Today, I put my flamenco shoes photos.
Brown with little dots and Red ones are Senovillas.
Black and Dark Blue grayish ones are Gallardo.
They all are my current shoes. Especially, Gallardo ones are very comfortable fitting my foot perfectly now.

There are many flamenco shoe makers out there...Gallardo, Senovilla, Menkes, Coral, Alte something... I love Gallardo shoes. Their shoes are lighter than Senovilla and I feel they make me dance well : )Senovilla has great selection of leather. They have dalmatian white&black dots, funky vivid color, gold etc...so many choices.
Probably, many people have experienced about online shopping problems like receiving wrong size/color or not received etc... very stressful. Here is one of my stories. Yes, just one of them.
I ordered one pair in mid July 2010 from flamenco-world.com since they are on sales. They charged full amount right away. And I waited and waited and waited but no update from flamenco world.com. So, I emailed them but still nothing. Finally, after several emails were ignored, I received an email saying "it takes about 60days due to the leather I ordered" in SPANISH!!! Then, waited and waited and almost forgot about the shoes then I suddenly got the shoes. I took 6 months!!! Can you believe this?
This story did not end here. I opened the box and there are beautiful beige shoes!! I put them on......OMG! They are TOO BIG!!! I emailed "flamenco-world" but, of course, NO response.
I seriously do not recommend the website. They are selling lots of items and have information on their website so I use them only to get info but never ever ever shop anything from them!
Senovilla and Gallardo had small issues but they always responded quickly. Especially a Japanese lady working for Senovilla answers my emails next day!
The shoes? Fortunately, my friend bought them. Thank you!
Have you had any problems ordering flamenco shoes or dresses?

いやぁーそのflamenco-world.com とやら、
すんごく頭にくるよ！
ＴＭＡＫさんのお腹立ちも伝わってきます。
ネットで買うと失敗もあるね、
でもなかなか届かないのはフラストレーションがたまる。
ところで、サイズは変えてもらえたの？
私もつい先月頼んだＭＢＴサンダルが
中国から届いたので、蒼白。
きっと偽物だなーーー
と思いながら履くのはストレスだわ。
犬の散歩につかってる（笑）
Everybody has some unpleasant experiences.
Yes, it was very stressful. Fortunatley, my friend bought them from me. But, this was not the end.
I had many problems after that. Eventualy, I ordered 5 more flamaneco shoes!
Hello ! I came across your blog while surfing the internet. I'm learning flamenco in Singapore and enjoying it very much. Sorry to hear that you had bad experience with FlamencoWorld. I agree that they are terrible. My skirt order never even arrived. I felt angry and cheated and will never buy from them again. Anyway, I'm glad I found your blog. It's interesting to read about flamenco experiences from all over the world. =) Cheers, Audrey
