• Yes! If you've been dancing for more than 5 years you've seen these before. Aris Allen Peep-Toe Wedge Women's Swing Dance Shoes are an exact copy of a to-die-for Forties' wedge shoe that was worn and loved to death by a very famous dancer (blonde and amazing, that's all we're saying)!
  • Flexible Raw Leather Sole & Foam Lined Footbed - great for dancing
  • Because they have a closed heel and tie in the front with Laces means these will stay snuggly on your feet.

Red Leather Swing Dance Wedge Shoes

The Red version is very dark in color, copied from the Deep Burgundy Red traditionally used on women's Forties' shoes.

Aris Allen Nubuck Rugcutter Wedge Dance Shoe

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").

 

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 this beauty. Because the original has a slightly large toe hole for Forties shoes this is a bad choice for women with very, very narrow feet (your toes will come out the end).

 

SIZING TIPS:
We've tried these on several dozen dancers and they overwhelmingly found that these run about true to size.
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.

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.
