What people say about Aris Allen shoes:
"Not only are these Aris Allens completely adorable but they are fabulous for dancing balboa. You may be wondering if you should spend $70 on shoes when you normally dance lindy hop in disposable $15 Keds. I know I did... until I bought these. Consider that shoes are the tools of your trade... and these are the stylish Craftsman of the dancing world. -J. Good of Boulder, CO

"If you are looking for shoes for swing dancing, especially for dancing Lindy Hop or Balboa, Aris Allens are the undisputed market leader. Most professional/competition-level leads wear either the white or black Aris Allen captoes and some follows do too! The secret is the raw-leather sole which is slicker than suede and maintains better too. If you dance Balboa, or want to do lots of spins and slides, these are the shoes to own." -Riz

"I have never worn such comfortable dancing shoes! These are 5-star for comfort and looks all the way." -T. Billie of Grand Forks, ND
