Aris Allen Women’s Black Classic Canvas Dance Sneaker size 6.5 From Aris Allen Website: These are a very cute dance shoe version of the classic sports sneaker so popular in the 20th century. They have a suede bottom sole. The comfy insoles are very thick, molded, and removable. If you wear orthotics you may be very happy with how roomy these are when you remove the insoles. Light, comfortable, and cute. The rubber foxing is sewn to the upper. Not only do they look adorable with a skirt - these are perfect for dancers of all skill levels. 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. The footbed is removable so you can add your own or wear them with orthotics. Sneakers are the most comfortable thing you can dance in - but rubber bottom shoes will eventually harm your knees. The answer? Suede or leather soles.
