The Aris Allen Raw Sole is made from hard leather with a raw finish.

It feels like velvet and acts a lot like Chrome Leather (suede) - it allows you to spin and slide, and still control the floor.

NOTE: If you find the sole has picked up dirt from the floor and is slowing down, just shuffle your feet on the pavement once or twice to refresh it.

Heel is shown below - note the rubber on top of the leather bottom for shock absorption.

Because we always strive to bring you the very best,
the Aris Allen wingtip is now available with much more
pliable leather than before! Absolutely terrific on the
dance floor.

The Aris Allen Captoe has an All-Leather Sole & Heel
(beautifully fast - yet still gives you control) designed
just for swing dancing

Leather Heel has thick rubber layer - for extra shock
absorption(see photo below)

Foam lined footbed - no insole needed

Classic Styling

Available in half sizes - a men's shoe that fits from
women's 5.5 up to men's 15 (in white - and from men's
7 through 15 in black) - see sizing info below

This is the famous Aris Allen Captoe and is an exact copy of a 1937 model that is fully lined with a nice roomy "toe box".

These have the Aris Allen Raw Sole - (see below left) flexible hard leather with a raw, unfinished surface on both sole & heel just like 40's dance shoes. Designed with the swing dancer in mind.

SIZING TIPS: We find that these run true to size. So order your usual men's dress shoe size. (not athletic shoe size).
