Aris Allen Men's 1930s Black Captoe Dance Shoe - Size 12 .95

Description

These are a handmade reproduction of a 1937 pair of Swing Era captoe dress shoes.
Features the Aris Allen Raw Sole: a flexible leather sole and heel with a rubber layer in the middle of the heel for extra shock absorption.
The footbed is lined with foam so it's much more comfortable and supportive than most ordinary dance shoes.
Designed for the intermediate / advanced dancer - Also great as a second pair for beginners since the “fastness” of the sole forces you to “find your center” immediately.
Aris Allen is known for making vintage style swing dance shoes and reproduction models that are more authentic equipment for dancing swing than ordinary ballroom shoes are. Their philosophy being that your dancing will look more authentic if you wear the same style of shoes the inventors of the dance were wearing.
Heel height is approximately 1".
No returns. Please examine the photos carefully.
