• Aris Allen Rugcutter Women's Swing Dance Shoes are an exact copy of a to-die-for early Forties' wedge shoe!
  • OK... not exact... because there's now a buckle on the back to make it easier to custom fit your foot!
  • Flexible Raw Leather Sole & Comfy Footbed - great for dancing
  • Because they are Open Toed, Buckled and tie in the front with Laces means these will fit most women with narrow OR wide feet (as well as just plain medium feet!)

Cutwork on the front, strap on the back, laces in between - this is the cutest women's shoe we've ever seen.

The footbed is cushioned, and the sole is the fabulous Aris Allen Raw Sole; awesome to dance on.

The heel is 2 1/4" and the platform is 1/2" (making the heel feel like it's only 1 3/4"). The toe hole is less than 1/2" across (purposely small enough that your toes won't stick through and get kicked by bad dancers!).

Sole is flexible to help you feel the floor. Great swing dance shoes because of the cute styling, slideable sole, and the comfort you expect in a swing shoe that's going to be on the dance floor all night.

At right is a photograph of the vintage shoe that was copied to make the RugCutter. The only change was padding added to the footbed and a buckle added to the back to help custom fit these to your foot.

SIZING TIPS:
Click here to see our guide to fitting a wedge.
We've tried these on several dozen dancers and they overwhelmingly found that these run about true to size (if you are a half size you will most likely go up to the next size - 6.5 wears a 7, 7.5 wears an 8, etc.). If you don't know your U.S. size we recommend that you use our Sizing Chart to help you make a decision. And see our inside measurements below.

WIDE FEET: Don't worry, these almost never fit too tight on wide feet. Just loosen the laces.

NARROW FEET: Same thing, these fit beautifully on narrow feet. Just tighten the laces.

(do you know the difference between a wedge and a platform??? how 'bout a peeptoe and cutwork.... huh?)

Footbed (inside length) measurements:
WARNING - DO NOT MEASURE YOUR FEET - measure a pair of open toed shoes that fit you if you want to use these to help fit you. Measurements are approximate.

NOTE: We only include these measurements because so many people call and ask for the dimensions. Measuring shoes is NOT the way to figure out the correct size.

If you are worried about fit, feel free to order two pairs and send the one that doesn't fit back!

The Aris Allen Raw Sole is made from hard leather with a raw finish. It feels like velvet and acts a lot like Chrome Leather (suede) - it allows you to spin and slide, and still control the floor.
