Autumn Rising Bottine

Luminous. Untamed. Here for a season. Autumn Rising Bottine is the tango bootie for the dancer who knows the most beautiful things never stay forever. The leather is black with a silver floral print, blossom over blossom, like autumn leaves drifting across a dark floor. Under the lights of the milonga the silver catches with every step, and the print runs unbroken from the almond toe to the heel.

It laces up over the instep with waxed round laces in charcoal, tonal and quiet so the leather can do the talking. The same floral leather wraps the low Cuban heel, keeping the line clean from ankle to floor while your weight stays grounded and your axis steady through every pivot. A true botineta, it holds the ankle close without stiffness. Your choice of sole lets you dial in exactly the right feel for the floor you're dancing on.

A very limited edition. This leather came to us in a single small run, and there won't be more. When the last of it is cut, Autumn Rising is finished for good.

This is a shoe for the dancer who would rather catch the moment than wait for the next one. Autumn Rising Bottine — luminous, rare, and restless from the first step to the last.

Choose Your Sole Construction

Every Mono bootie can be built with either a full or split sole. Choose the construction that matches the way you move.

👟 Full Sole — Stability · Support · Grounded
Maximum stability, support, and a grounded feel. A favorite among social dancers and those who value consistent floor contact.

✂️ Split Sole — Flexible · Articulated · Responsive
Enhanced flexibility and arch articulation, allowing greater freedom of movement. Popular with performers and dancers who prefer a more responsive feel.

About the Sole Materials

🧵 Suede — Softest · Most Grip
The softest of the three. Suede gives the most friction on the floor — ideal for dancers who want to feel anchored through every pivot.

🤾 Medium Leather — Balanced · Cushioned
Additional padding underfoot with a balanced grip on the floor. The middle path: comfort and control in equal measure.

💪 Hard Leather — Glide · Structure
The most glide and the most structure for the foot. For dancers who want their shoe to slide through a turn and support every step.
