Borotín

Borotín is a traditional Spanish shoe, particularly associated with the flamenco dance and music. The term "borotín" is derived from the Spanish word "borra" meaning "erase," reflecting the shoe's ability to erase the dance floor with its smooth leather sole. The shoe is typically made of leather, with a low heel and a flexible sole, allowing for a wide range of movements. The upper part of the shoe is often adorned with decorative elements, such as embroidery or lace, which can vary in style and color. Borotín is a staple in flamenco attire, worn by both dancers and musicians. It is also popular in other forms of Spanish dance and music, as well as in traditional Spanish clothing. The shoe's design and style have evolved over time, with modern versions often incorporating contemporary materials and designs while retaining the traditional elements.
