Aris Allen Black Satin d'Orsay T-Strap Suede Sole Dance Shoes

• How are these gorgeous 1930s black satin d'Orsay t-strap dance shoes supposed to fit?
  Dancers have told us that these fit pretty much true to size. Because of the sturdy lining you may need a half size larger than your usual size, but most of our dancers have found that they fit their normal size. Since these black satin d'Orsay t-strap dance shoes are bit a narrow at the toe, dancers with wide feet will find them a bit tight.
  
• How tall and wide is the heel?
  The heels on these black satin d'Orsay t-strap dance shoes are approximately 3.25" inches (8.26cm) tall and the base of the heel is 1.25" inches (3.18cm) 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 beautiful 1930s black d'Orsay t-straps?
  These black satin t-strap dance shoes 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 comfortable are these *adorable* black satin d'Orsay t-strap dance shoes?
  Aris Allen's are admired world-wide for their amazing comfort and these black satin t-straps 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.
