Aris Allen All Black 1940s Suede Sole Mary Jane Wingtip

• How are these *gorgeous* all black wing-tip heeled Mary Jane's supposed to fit?
  After trying these black heeled Mary Jane's on several dancers, they reported that these shoes run true to size. If you mostly wear one size (e.g., 7.0 US), but are able to wear a half size smaller (e.g., 6.5 US), we think you would be more comfortable in the size you mostly wear (e.g., 7.0 US).
  
• How tall and wide is the heel?
  The heels on the Aris Allen all black heeled Mary Jane swing shoes are approximately 3.25" inches (8.26cm) tall and the base of the heel is 1.24" inches (3.15cm) wide to keep you stable. As an added bonus, the heel base is finished in suede leather sole to prevent any abrupt friction on the dancefloor.
  
• What type of sole is equipped on these adorable Mary Jane's?
  These all black wingtip Mary Jane pumps feature durable, suede leather soles which are designed for dancers of all skills levels. The suede soles are flexible without losing support and balance. To maintain the suede leather (or make it less "zippy"), we recommend using a fine, brass wire brush on the soles to remove the grit and dirt.
  
• How does the buckled strap work?
  The adjustable, "set-it-and-forget-it" buckled strap allows you to set your desired fit and slip the strap through the "J" hook, eliminating the need to readjust the buckle everytime you want to wear these shoes. The "J" hook is attached to an elastic band for extra "give" when you're on the tips of your toes.
  
• How comfortable are these heeled wingtip Mary Jane's?
  Aris Allen's are admired world-wide for their amazing comfort and these beautiful heeled all black Mary Jane's are no exception. The insoles are well padded with highly supportive foam which help reduce the impact on your feet when dancing for long periods of time. The insoles are non-removable, but people have inserted their own orthotics with no issues.
