We chose this one out of hundreds.

We tested hundreds of different materials and found a substance we call PermaSuede. This wonderful material was chosen because the action was the closest we could find to our famous Bleyer SpecialSole - so you can control your movements on the dance floor while still being able to spin and slide when you need to.

It's synthetic - and very zippy, yet doesn't pick up every bit of stuff from the dance floor like suede will.

The sides are black and the bottoms white (but don't worry, as much as you dance they won't be white for long!)

You'll find our Swing Sole on the Charleston, the Classic Saddle shoe and on size 48-50 of all of our shoes. 
 
 

AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO CARRY YOUR SHOES TO THE DANCE IN A LITTLE BAG! These are DANCE SOLES - and as such are not hiking boots - so don't go tearing them up on asphalt or broken glass - you will ruin them... but for the most part: You can dance in the rain, walk in the snow, jump in mud puddles - they don't care...
 
 

Compare this sole to the Bleyer Special Sole... 

--The swing sole is white on the bottom, black on the sides while the special sole is black.
--The swing sole is smooth while the special sole is textured. 
--The swing sole is on shoes that have heels, such as the Saddle shoe and the Charleston, while the special sole is only on flat shoes like the Rock'n'Roll. 
--The swing sole is used on the larger sizes instead of the special sole, so you will find it on sizes 47-50 of the Rock'n'Roll, Boogie Woogie, Basic Black, etc.
