The problem
Tight toe boxes crush your toes, thin insoles hurt the bottoms of your feet, and by the second set you’re on the bench.
The marleys difference
Spread your toes instead of crushing them. Available in foot-shaped and pointed shapes

Find your size
All you need is a wall, a sheet of paper and a pen.
Wear the socks you dance in. Weight on both feet.
Measure heel to mark. Do both feet, keep the longer one.
Between sizes? Go up. The Cat lists women’s and men’s sizes side by side.
We size by length. Stand on a sheet of paper with your heel against a wall, mark your longest toe, and measure heel to mark. Do both feet and use the bigger number, then find it on the size chart for your shoe. The size chart shows the room available inside the shoe, so if you’re between sizes, go one size up. For more, visit our size & fit guide.

Yes. The leather is supple from day one, so there’s minimal break-in. Our soles are fast, so try them at home and in lessons before taking them to the social dance floor.
We’re a Canadian company and we make our shoes in Portugal. Every order ships from Montreal, QC.
Our story
Four design rounds, 11 samples, 20+ test dancers, 200 conversations, and 12 months later, the Cat and the Ava are officially ready to ship.
I am really excited to try on my new Ava shows. I am a west coast swing dancer and I have been looking for new shows that fits my foot. They are super comfy and the leather quality seems amazing. Just got them. Can’t wait to try them on the dance floor.
Ps they are true to size and have good room for the feet and the inner sole is soft but has support.
Aww MJ, thank you so much for this lovely review! ❤️
We're so happy to hear that you're loving the comfort, fit, and quality of your new Ava shoes! It means so much to us that you've found a pair that feels just right for your feet.
We can't wait for you to take them for their first spin on the West Coast Swing dance floor! Here's to lots of smooth moves and happy dancing!
My new favourite pair of dancing shoes for West Coast Swing! I got really sick of having to choose between pretty dance shoes with a million laces that came undone constantly or sneaker style shoes that still didn’t have enough support. Marleys allow you to still be able to feel the floor and glide effortlessly while still having some cushioning & support.
Aww Abby, this makes us so happy! ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
We love hearing that your marleys give you that perfect balance of floor feel, glide, comfort, and support without having to compromise on style!
Here's to many more effortless spins, smooth moves, and amazing West Coast Swing dances in your marleys!
Keep dancing and making those Marley Moves! 💃
Ananya was so thorough and caring. I found her at Montreal Westie Fest while I was looking for dance shoes supportive enough for my multiple lower body injuries. She asked a tonne of questions to ensure she understood my needs to find the best fit for me. She showed me a couple different ways to lace my shoes as well for the best support possible. I am looking forward to busting these out on the dance floor and showing off my new Marley Moves ™️💃!
Aww, this makes us so happy to read! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! ❤️
We're thrilled that we were able to help you find the right fit and support for your dancing needs. We'll definitely pass along your lovely words to her!
We can't wait for you to hit the dance floor and show off those Marley Moves™️! 💃
Happy dancing!
The delay was a little bit long, but I received notifications for each step and I was not in a hurry :)
