That´s why sometimes Swing Dancers dress themselves in a "old fashion" way. In my opinion they don´t look old fashion, actually they look festive and elegent.
First thing you have to own is one pair of dance-shoes. They should be slippery so that you can slide gently on the dancefloor.
Swing Dancers will often recognized by wearing this kind of black & white shoes!
Why do we need slippery shoes: 1. they protect your knees from the brake. 2. you can have more fun while you slide, You can slide easily and farther.
For Lindy Hop and Boogie Woogie Ladies don´t wear high-heel-shoes. Because we do kicks and hops. It could be dangerous for everyone, ex. our leader, the one who dances next to us and ourselves!
The same design is also made for ladies in many different colors.
It is not unusual to wear black shoes, cuz everyone likes to wear black shoes. The black and white design is classical. Usually those real good dancers wear white shoes. WHY??? Because our feet look bigger in white shoes and on the all black-shoes-dancefloor those white shoes get automatically more attention.

Most important is that you are wearing comfortable shoes while you dance. The more you dance the more important are your shoes to you. Don´t let your feet get pain after a crazy Swing Night!
