Swing Shoes
I love swing dancing because the shoes are so comfy! I can dance for days and my feet won’t hurt.
If you are just starting out and don't have much money you can buy some Ked knock offs that fit well and take them to a cobbler. Ask him to shave down the bottom enough to make them flexible and suede them for you. Miracle Instant Shoe Repair can do this for you if are in the Los Angeles area.
