[Tango-L] Men's dance shoes (but not sneakers)

[Carol Shepherd]

A friend from the swing scene wants to move into dancing the Latin dances 
(salsa, west coast) and also begin to learn Argentine tango.

So far he has been dancing in 'lindy sneakers' (i.e., Chucks or Vans with 
chromed leather on the bottom).  He wants to graduate to 'grownup dance shoes' 
that will go with dressier outfits.  In other words, he doesn't want dance sneakers.

What shoes do you dancing men recommend?  Should he or should he not get some 
kind of Cuban heel?  Are there any styles that you would recommend that don't 
look like jazz practice shoes (he doesn't want that look).
