Having the right shoes is absolutely essential for Lindy Hop. It’s important that the shoe’s style matches your outfit and looks good, but it’s even more important that the shoe’s design is comfortable and sturdy.
The best dance shoes for Lindy Hop are supportive, stylish, durable, and comfortable. And when you’re going to be on your feet dancing all night, you want to wear footwear designed by someone with first-hand dancing experience who knows what you need in a dance shoe.
Saint Savoy owner and designer Rani-Patricia is a dancer herself, so she knows how important having the best dance shoes for the Lindy Hop is. She carefully designs and, together with professional dancers, tests every shoe model here at Saint Savoy, ensuring the high quality, sophisticated vintage style, and supportive features. These shoes are also perfectly suited for everyday wear, outside or off the dance floor!
Here are some of the best shoes for Lindy Hoppers, as chosen and designed by someone who knows what she’s talking about:
Our Favourite Lindy Hop Shoes for Women
There are many things to consider when choosing the best Lindy Hop shoes for women. What heel height will be most comfortable for you? What colour and design details match your style and wardrobe?
Luckily, Saint Savoy carries great Lindy Hop shoes for women in a huge array of styles and colours!
RIVIERA
The RIVIERA, one of most beloved models, is the perfect accompaniment for any Lindy Hopper. The classic RIVIERA models all have a heel height of 3.5 cm, making sure to put some spring in your step!
All RIVIERA shoes have a timelessly elegant design, with a beautiful t-strap and intricate openings that give your feet a bit of air.
But the RIVIERA isn’t just gorgeous–it’s incredibly comfortable too! The heel has a wide base to support your feet, as well as soft cushioning, a pliable sole, and fantastic shock absorption.
The other great thing about the RIVIERA? It’s available in colours to suit every style! Want something neutral to go with many outfits? Try the dark Mamba, the two-toned Cafe, or new warm Terracotta.
How about a pop of colour? Look no further than the vivid Ruby or the refined Delice. For those of you who want some sparkle to show off, we have the Stardust and the Quicksilver!
RIVIERA FLAT
Heels not really for you? Don’t worry–we also offer the RIVIERA FLAT! All RIVIERA FLAT models have the same polished design of the RIVIERA, but with a 1.5 cm heel.
Like the RIVIERA, the RIVIERA FLAT comes in a range of stunning colours. Turn heads with the Garnet, or make others green with envy with the Scarab. For that extra bit of flash, try the Hologram or Moviola.
HIGHBALL
Another exquisite Saint Savoy offering is the HIGHBALL, which has the perfect blend of feminine and sensual detailing!
These striking lace-up heels take inspiration from a model of 1930s shoes. The eye-catching woven leather bands of the HIGHBALL elevate any outfit with the right touch of femininity and sensuality.
The lacing and cut of these shoes make them suitable for an assortment of foot shapes, including wide feet! Of course, they also have the gentle cushioning and sturdy shock absorption we are known for.
Stand out from the crowd with In The Heart, In The Navy, or In The Woods. Or boost your entire closet with the incredibly adaptable In The Barn or In The Dark!
