Aris Allen Women’s Red 1930s Vintage Velted Oxford Swing Dancing Shoes with Suede Leather Soles Aris Allen Women’s 1930s Red Velvet Oxford Swing Dancing Shoes offer a rare combination of a decently sized heel and lace-up style. The suede leather soles are quite flexible and the heels have synthetic bottoms that won’t slow you down when they touch the dancefloor during a spin. The insoles are well padded and very comfortable. Women with wide feet reported that these were tight, while women with regular and slightly narrow feet said the width was just right. Women are reporting that these are fitting a half size smaller than their street shoe size (i.e. if you normally fit 7.5 -to- 8 you’ll probably wear an 8 -to- 8.5 in these).

Here are examples of all the trendy styles of the period: mini skirts and dresses; hip-huggers and bell-bottoms; skimp-sleeved pullovers and slink knit shirts; mini and maxi coats; jumpsuits and tunics; chunky heeled and platform shoes.
