This review is from: Aris Allen Women's 1950s Black & White Spectator Wingtip Mesh Oxford Swing Shoes with Suede Soles (Apparel)

I bought these shoes (not from Amazon) about 6 months ago. I love them. I bought two pairs, one in all white and these black & whites. I can't say enough good about these shoes. I wore the white ones for the dancing part of my wedding 3 months ago. They are my absolute favorites to dance in. The meshy upper is fantastic if you dance for hours on end--it keeps your feet from getting overly hot and it's stretchy so the upper doesn't bind the metatarsals.

The soles are nice and slick--great for turns!

The bottom of the shoe is also quite cushiony--way better than any ballroom shoe I've ever used. Normally, a ballroom shoe would have almost no padding on the bottom.

The shoe is very stable for active dance. I sprained both of my ankles several months ago, and I couldn't wear any of my latin or ballroom shoes, but I could still dance in these Aris Allens. These are fantastic shoes. Now that it's cold, I just want a pair in all-black since the wingtips sort of stand out with my darker winter outfits.

These shoes are great for athletic dancers, especially swing dancers, or for salsa/ballroom dancers who need more stability and comfort from a shoe.

The shoes were beautiful, however there was a hole in the white mesh, so I sent them back. I am disappointed that I had to pay $15.00 for shipping them back to the company plus the original $5.00 it cost me to get them shipped to me, so in total I spent $20.00 for a pair of shoes I never got to wear! Unfortunately the company doesn't pay refund shipping costs.

I have never worn such comfortable dancing shoes! these are 5-star for comfort and looks all the way. but I do have to say after 3 times of dance practice, the leather has worn off on one shoe in the top toe area - and no toe taps were ever done! it appears the leather used in this shoe is very very soft so I am disappointed in that. There were also no return documents shipped with the shoes so I have to hunt down how to do that to request a possible exchange.
