A softly shimmering silver upper, elegant closed toe and graceful 5cm heel give it plenty of occasion-ready polish, while the secure crossover straps and comfortable construction make it wonderfully wearable on the dance floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiamant 161 Silver Personality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElegant • Comfortable • Feminine • Social-Ready\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e161 sits in a lovely place between practical and pretty. The silver finish catches the light enough to feel special, but the closed toe, moderate heel and secure straps keep everything reassuringly wearable. It's the kind of Ballroom shoe that looks perfectly at home at a dance event or special occasion, yet doesn't make you wonder halfway through the evening why you chose looks over comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiamant 161 Silver Ballroom Shoes - Design \u0026amp; Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eDiamant 161\u003c\/strong\u003e uses a beautifully shaped \u003cstrong\u003eclosed-toe vamp with a soft V-cut\u003c\/strong\u003e across the foot. It gives the coverage and security many dancers prefer from a traditional Standard Ballroom shoe, while the subtle V-shape prevents the front from looking heavy and helps create a more elegant line through the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e5cm Latino heel\u003c\/strong\u003e introduces a little more lift than Diamant's lower 4.2cm Spanish styles without pushing the dancer into the more demanding position of a high competition heel. Its gently shaped base keeps the silhouette feminine while retaining enough stability for social dancing, classes and longer events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo slender straps cross diagonally around the foot and heel, creating considerably more security than the delicate appearance suggests. The configuration helps keep the back of the shoe connected to the foot during travelling movement and turns, while Diamant's \u003cstrong\u003equick-release push-button fastening\u003c\/strong\u003e makes adjustment straightforward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, breathable Italian microfibre creates a smooth, comfortable environment around the foot and helps manage moisture during longer periods of dancing. Underneath, the traditional \u003cstrong\u003ebrushed leather dance sole\u003c\/strong\u003e provides controlled glide and turning on a clean indoor dance floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silver upper is another reason we like the 161. Rather than a flat grey metallic, its reflective finish changes subtly as the shoe moves under the light, giving an otherwise classic closed Ballroom silhouette a much more celebratory character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiamant 161 Technical Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #FBFBFB;
