If you have ever bought tango shoes online and felt that the color did not match your dress, or the fit pinched in a way that no amount of breaking-in fixed, you have experienced the limit of off-the-shelf tango shoes. Custom-made tango shoes — also called bespoke tango shoes — solve this by being built to YOUR measurements, in YOUR chosen color, with YOUR specifications. At Madreselva, custom orders include free dyeing and free width adjustments, the same hand-construction as our standard shoes, with delivery in 3-4 weeks worldwide.
Why Order Custom Instead of Off-the-Shelf
- Exact color match for your dress, wedding, or performance — bring a fabric swatch or photo, we color-match within 5% accuracy
- Width adjustments at no extra cost — narrow B, standard D, wide E, double-wide EE — your foot, your fit
- Heel height variations — request 5.5cm, 6.5cm, 8cm, 8.5cm specifically (not just standard 6/7.5/9cm)
- Material customization — leather upper with suede heel cup, satin with leather sole, chrome leather for stage performance
- Engravings on insole — your initials, wedding date, special phrase — free for orders over USD 350
- Same quality construction — hand-lasted in our Buenos Aires atelier by the same master shoemakers as our standard line
The Madreselva Custom Order Process
Step 1 — Pick Your Base Model
Browse our tango shoes collection and pick the silhouette you love. The base model determines the construction template — strap style, toe shape, heel position. Everything else (color, material, width) is customizable on top of the base.
Step 2 — WhatsApp Viviana
Message Viviana directly at WhatsApp +54 9 11 3244-6849. Send: (1) your foot measurements (length + width in mm), (2) the model code you chose, (3) any color reference (Pantone code, fabric photo, or color name like “champagne ivory”), (4) any special requests (heel adjustment, engraving). Viviana responds personally within hours during Buenos Aires business hours.
Step 3 — Quote + Confirmation
Viviana sends you a quote with: total price (base model + any premium materials), estimated delivery date (typically 3-4 weeks), payment options (PayPal, Wise bank transfer, credit card via secure link). Once you confirm, your shoes enter the production queue.
Step 4 — Production (2-3 weeks)
Your shoes are hand-lasted in our Palacio de los Lirios atelier. You receive 1-2 photo updates during construction so you can confirm color/details before the final stitching. If anything looks off, we adjust before completion at no extra cost.
Step 5 — Shipping (7-10 business days)
FedEx International Priority worldwide. You receive a tracking number the day they ship. Delivery: USA 3-7 days, Europe 4-8 days, Japan 5-9 days.

When to Choose Custom
- Your wedding — match your dress exactly, engrave the date
- Stage performance with specific costume colors
- You have unusually wide or narrow feet and standard widths never fit right
- You want a unique combination nobody else has
- You are gifting to a serious dancer — engraved initials make it extraordinary
When Off-the-Shelf Is Fine
If you have a standard foot width, you are happy with classic colors (black, nude, burgundy), and you need shoes within 2 weeks, our regular collection delivers excellent results without the 3-4 week wait. Our standard shoes share the same hand-lasted construction — the only difference is you skip the customization step.
