Dance Shoes
Here's where to get them

Cruisin Australia
These shoes are worn by many Perthies and are made for dancing. They have a durable EVA sole (hard foam) which makes them good on ANY surface. Synthetic soles make it easy to spin in them - and yes you can slide in them and no, they're not killer painful or deathly slippery like ordinary street shoes! Leather, insoles and light as a feather. Good for dancers feet and they are made in Australia.

Dancestore
Carry the Aris Allen line of dance shoes because they are designed by swing dancers who saw the need for a shoe that is stylish, performance-oriented AND affordable. The soles on these shoes are specially designed to let you feel the floor while being able to perform the manuvers swing dancing requires without sticking like you will with ordinary athletic shoes or feeling like you're wearing soles made of unbendable wood like normal dress shoes. They also offer the full line of Bleyer.

Muffy's Enterprises - the saddle shoe queen!
Way back in the early day of the scene, some of us bought saddles form Muffy in the US. She has the most amazing range you will ever see, some even made form original vinatge designs.

Robert's Shoe Store
Bass: selling the famous original white 'Bucks'. A Men's Shoe worn in the 1930's and 40s by dancers and the everyday man alike. With the original Red Crepe sole. Worn by many Balboa dancers in the states because of the smooth sole and classic vintage styling.


Stacey Adams shoes
The classic two-tone wingtip style, also called the "spectator," is a hallmark of the modern swing dancer. The Stacy Adams Dayton was one of the first shoes to flaunt this now-classic look.
