Aris Allen Men's White Dance Loafers Leather These are classic dress loafers with raw leather soles for dancing. While you can dance just about anything in loafers, this style is favored by Balboa dancers. They feature a Raw Leather Sole and Heel with a rubber layer in the middle of the heel for extra shock absorption. The footbed is lined with foam so it's much more comfortable and supportive than most ordinary dance shoes. Designed for the intermediate / advanced dancer - Also great as a second pair for beginners since the "fastness" of the sole forces you to "find your center" immediately. We find that these run true to size for normal feet, a half size small on Wide width (and not good for narrow feet because this style is basically a moccasin - or "Moc Toe" - it's rounded and evenly roomy around the vamp and toe).
