Meet CLARA, the glittering star of the PortDance lineup. These strappy dance heels are built for dancers who love sparkle and solid technique. The plush black nubuck is scattered with iridescent crystals, while slim crossover straps hug your instep so you can attack spins, body rolls, and fast direction changes without thinking about your shoes. A supportive closed heel keeps you locked in; the suede dance sole gives you that perfect glide on Latin, Salsa, Bachata, and social ballroom floors.

Slip them on and feel the cushioned insole and flexible build do their thing, soft underfoot, responsive through the arch, and oh-so stable on the 70 mm flare heel. CLARA is the pair you reach for when you want to look stage-ready and dance all night.

Sizing: PortDance women’s styles run in EU sizes and are true to size for dance heels. If you’re between sizes, most dancers choose the smaller one for a snug performance fit (they relax slightly after 1–2 socials).
Snug is right: Toes should sit close to the front edge without curling under; the forefoot should feel “held,” not pinched.
Width: Standard European width. If you have wide feet, consider going up half a size or using a stretch spray during break-in. Narrow feet? Tighten the crossover straps for a custom lock-in.
Heel height: 70 mm (7 cm) flare heel, a stable, mid-height choice ideal for Latin, Salsa, Bachata and social Ballroom.
Break-in: Expect 1–3 hours of dancing to soften the nubuck and insole.
At-home try-on: Test on a clean, non-abrasive surface to keep the suede sole pristine.

Suede sole love: Brush with a wire suede brush before/after dancing to refresh grip. If fibers mat down, brush in one direction to lift nap.
Indoor only: Avoid streets and wet surfaces, water and grit will wear down the suede quickly.
Nubuck care: Use a nubuck block/brush to lift marks. Spot-clean with a barely damp cloth.
Crystal care: Wipe gently with a dry microfiber cloth. Don’t use alcohol or solvent cleaners.
