Choose your fit, heel and UK size above. If you are new to Ray Rose or changing heel shape, ask us for sizing advice before ordering.

Best For

• Latin and Salsa dancing.
• DanceSport training, performance and competition.
• Dancers who prefer a curved six-strap front and square-toe insole.

Why Dancers Choose the 845 Persephone

The fixed front straps hold the forefoot within an open sandal design. Non-stretch stripping helps the upper retain its shape, while a latex sports orthotic with integrated metatarsal support provides cushioning beneath the foot.

The lining and sock have antibacterial properties, and the heel tips are designed to resist slipping.

Curved Six-Strap Design & Square-Toe Insole

The Persephone's curved straps create its distinctive front pattern. A square-toe insole and rounded back complete the shape. Check that your toes sit comfortably on the insole and the fixed straps hold securely without painful pressure.

Fit

This listing currently offers Normal fitting. The insole configuration is designed to support medium and high arches, but arch height alone does not determine whether the shoe will suit your foot.

A Latin shoe should feel secure without pinching or excessive movement. Contact us if you usually need extra width rather than choosing a longer size simply to gain room.

Heel Options

• 2-inch Flared: the lowest heel option on this listing.
• 2.5-inch Flared: additional height with a flared heel base.
• 3-inch Flared: a higher heel with a flared profile.
• 3-inch Straight: a higher heel with a straight profile.

Choose a height and shape you can control confidently. The selectors show the current combinations; photographs may not represent every heel option.

Sizing

Ray Rose dance shoes use UK sizing. Australian and New Zealand street-shoe conversions are approximate.
