Aris Allen Women’s Black Classic Canvas Dance Sneaker
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.

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.
