Questions, answered
That's what they're built for. An 8mm dual-layer cushioned insole gives you shock absorption and energy return, there's arch support for when your feet fatigue late in the night, and the wider toe box means nothing cramps.
Barely. The leather is soft enough that most dancers are comfortable from the first night, and it keeps moulding to your foot over the first few wears. The sole is at its slickest the day you get them, and wears down slightly with use into a good balance of grip and glide.
The Ava will feel like a warm hug. Your toes won't splay, but they shouldn't feel pressure either, and there should be room between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
In the Cat, your toes will splay. The fleshy parts on the sides of your feet will feel snugly held, but your toes will never be squished or crushed. Think of a sock or a glove.
We size by length. Measure each foot heel to longest toe, take the bigger number, and match it to the chart on the shoe's page (Cat and Ava have their own charts). The soft leather moulds to your foot for width, so length is all you're solving for. Still unsure? Your first exchange is free in both Canada and the US. See the size & fit guide.
All social dance styles that need a slick, sliding sole. Our customers dance Lindy Hop, West Coast Swing, Salsa, Jive, and much more, all on a natural leather sole built to glide.
Shipping is free anywhere in Canada until August 31. After that, Canadian rates are shown at checkout.Shipping to the US is a flat $15, with duties prepaid, so the price you see at checkout is the price you pay. Either way, shipping is free on your first order if you join our newsletter.
The First Edition is a preorder and ships the week of September 27, 2026. We'll email you a tracking link the moment your pair goes out.
Across Canada and to the US. Every order ships from Canada, and for US orders duties are prepaid, so there are no surprise fees at delivery.
You have 14 days from delivery to start a return. Shoes need to come back in resellable condition: unworn, in their original box, with both sets of laces and the insoles, and the leather soles and uppers unmarked. Return shipping is on us. Read the full policy.
Because we're new! We started in 2025, proudly Canadian, and we're already dancing with customers across Canada, the US, and Europe. Read our story.
