The History of Angela Nuran Shoes From Instructor to Designer
Brides and Ballroom Shoes
The tail started to wag the dog in 2007. Dance students were buying existing ballroom dance shoes from me; my unintended shoe biz was growing. Women who heard about Angela’s shoes wanted to try them on, and not just brides. I wanted something fabulous to offer them. I believed women deserved better styling, better fit, and better quality than what they got in normal ballroom dance shoes. It took years of overcoming many obstacles before we achieved the Angela Nuran brand of couture special occasion shoes that combine the fashion and quality a bride wants with the comfort and fit a dancer needs. Shoes designed to be worthy to wear with fine wedding dresses and evening gowns, yet comfortable enough to wear for hours.

The history of Angela Nuran Shoes wouldn’t be complete without expressing heartfelt gratitude to those who helped the company thrive, especially Ashley, Betty, Esther, Erik, Moises and Ki. My husband, Paul Cosentino, continues to help in more ways than I can say. His business expertise is great, but I must say his patience, sense of humor and winsome personality don’t hurt a bit. Thanks to all the gifted folks who played key roles in bringing the vision of Angela Nuran to life, and to the retailers who believe in and support our line.
