• Aris Allen Swing Dance Shoe done in an Old School Style Running Sneaker version
  • Flexible Suede-Bottom Sole
  • Light as a feather

This is a feather light dance shoe styled to look like an eighties running shoe. Because of its light weight and suede sole you will be surefooted on the dance floor while still being able to slide and spin. So now you can look like you're wearing sneakers without the knee-injuring potential that dancing on rubber soles carries.

Looks quite cute with pants, skirts or shorts.

Sole is flexible to help you feel the floor.

ABOUT SUEDE SOLES:

You're not supposed to wear suede soles outside - but every swing dancer knows that you can make them faster by wearing them everywhere to get them dirty, then dance in them until they're shiny on the bottom. If you prefer them less zippy you can dull the "mirror finish" they can get by roughing them up with a wire brush periodically. Just remember that when they get wet in the rain they won't spin very easily (conversely - if they're too slippery just spill your drink on the floor and step in it!).

 

SIZING:

We find that these run true to size. So order your usual women's dress shoe size. If you're a half size it's best to wear a half size larger than usual (6.5 fits a 7, 8.5 fits a 9, etc.).

These come in whole sizes (just one half size: 9.5) and, because they're converted from European sizes, the women's version of this shoe is really just an extension of the men's sizes and vice versa. So if you wear women's size 10 (but never a 9.5) you might like the fit of the Men's 9.

For international sizing we recommend that you use our Sizing Chart to help you make a decision.

Wide Feet? Probably best to wear 1/2 size larger.

The foam insole is removeable! Which means that you can get a custom fit by replacing the insole with one that you've purchased to custom fit your foot (or add arch support or use orthotics, etc.) or just wear them as is.
