I'm on my second pair of Bleyer Black & Whites, and have just acquired a pair of Bleyer black& Reds........They are very light, very soft, and very comfortable. They have a flat sole with no heel. I used to wear a pair of ordinary leather soled shoes that I thought were great, until I got my first pair of Bleyers. I tended up until a few months ago, to wear mainly black and white clothing, i.e, black t shirt with white trim, or black & white panel shirts, and the shoes matched them. more recently i have been wearing loose fitting combat style trousers, which I have found very cool(temperature) to dance in, and more brightly coloured t shirts. My black & whites don't really look right with those, so I wear my Capezzio dance trainers instead, they are also very comfy, but not as light as the Bleyers. I also prefer the B&Ws for Lindy Hop. I think there is a lot in the statement that how you dress reflects how you feel about yourself. Before I lost weight, I think I wore dark clothing because it had a slimming effect, whereas I now feel less self conscious in brighter clothes.
