Flamenco Shoes Not Required at Home:

While flamenco shoes are recommended, especially for those progressing in their journey, beginners are not required to have them initially and at home you should most likely not wear flamenco shoes with nails on them unless you have some protection for your floor. As you advance, flamenco shoes will become necessary, but to start you can wear a shoe that makes sound (avoid soft soles), our shoes are our percussion instruments.
