What’s the best swing shoe? (Spoiler: it’s Swivells)

At Swivells, we often get asked: what’s the best shoe for swing dancing? And to be honest, we have a pretty good idea of the answer. Our shoes aren’t just beautiful, they’re designed by dancers, for dancers, and that makes all the difference.

Who’s behind Swivells?

Swivells was born from the passion of two lindy hop dancers who have taught swing all over the world. On the dance floors of Paris, Barcelona, Taiwan, and Athens, they saw what was missing: elegant, sturdy, and above all, truly comfortable shoes for dancing for hours. That’s how Swivells was born, a French brand combining style, comfort, and craftsmanship.

Why are Swivells shoes so comfortable?

Because every pair is handmade by Maria and her brothers, our artisans in Spain. They sew each model with meticulous care and put a lot of love into every pair.
The result? A shoe that hugs your foot, breathes, and feels instantly comfortable.

What is neolite? The secret behind our soles

Our shoes feature neolite soles, a technical material often mistaken for leather.
What’s the difference? Neolite offers the same glide as leather but is less fragile and more durable. It allows dancers to move smoothly on both wooden floors and slick surfaces, giving perfect control — a real treat for swingouts and swivels!

And for everyday wear? Neolite is strong enough for off-the-dance-floor use, meaning our shoes are also made to be worn daily, whether in the city or on a night out.
