Aris Allen Men\"s 1930s Black Captoe Dance Shoe, Size: 8.5
Price 74.95 USD
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. These are great dance shoes because of the slideable sole and heel, and the comfort you need in a shoe that"s going to be on the hardwood all night. About "Blucher" construction: The style of captoe chosen for this shoe is a Blucher, meaning that unlike most dress shoes they are constructed to open and close across the foot with laces (rather than being stitched down at the base of the laces) to allow you to adjust the fit to your liking. This means they easily fit a variety of widths, from slightly narrow to average to slightly wide.
