Madame Pivot

April 10, 2025

Madame Pivot is based in Tuscany, on the hills surrounding the beautiful city of Florence. It was founded in 2007 by Leonardo and Federica, two friends with a creative mind and a passion for tango.

Their idea was to produce MADE IN ITALY shoes specifically designed for this dance with impeccable technical features and a great design. The ancient tradition and quality of the Italian artisan craftsmanship had to be put at tango’s service!

The research of the best materials, cooperation with the local producers, the choice of comfortable forms for the perfect fit and a great attention to detail have transformed their dream into a successful reality.

The following challenge was bringing Madame Pivot quality, comfort and design also outside the dance floor with the creation of a street style line, which varies from wedding and ceremonies to sports and leisure shoes.

Today Madame Pivot offers a selection of hundreds of shoe styles for men and women, and it has become a well-loved and trusted brand in Italy and worldwide. The whole staff keep working every day to reciprocate that trust with creativity, passion and full dedication.

Production Times – When you book a pair of shoes in your requested size, shape and any other options you can choose, they will be made specifically for you. Production times at the moment are around 45 days, but there might be cases when the shoes are already available in our warehouse in that specific combination, or we just need to retrieve them from the stock of another agent, making waiting times even shorter. Most of the shoes in the “discontinued” or “special offer” sections, for example, are already available.
