Comme il Faut

Lesley did today what every tanguera dreams of , she bought a pair of shoes at Comme il Faut.
For those non-tango readers, Comme il Faut make the best and most sought after dance shoes. They cost about 85 pounds here but 120 to 150 in the UK.
Their shop is at the end of an arcade that runs off one of the streets that joins Plaza San Martin. A small room where you state your shoe size (to be brought one size smaller as that is better for dancing) and heel height (7,8 or 9 cm). Shoes are open or peep toe. They will bring out as many pairs for you to try as you have patience. I can't imagine many people walking away. You feel you have been privilged to purchase.
Altogether a great retail experience!
