Product Description
Summary
The Bleyer Balboa has a really vintage feel. It's a brown and beige lace-up shoe. The beige canvas uppers stand out distinctively against the cleanly cut brown leather giving them a unique look. The Bleyer Classic sole offers excellent sure-footedness for dancers.
Colours & Sizes Available
The Bleyer Balboa is only available in brown and beige as standard. Bleyer Hepcat are available as standard in Bleyer size 39 to 48 (covering UK 5 to 11.5).
How The Shoes Fit Including Notes about the Width
The shoes themselves are fitted on the Mens last and so they are one of the widest fitting Bleyer shoes. They fit similar to the Bleyer Hepcat and Bleyer Charleston and wider than shoes produced on unisex lasts such as the Bleyer Rock'n'Roll and Bleyer Boogie Woogie. Bleyer shoes are marked with European sizes and they tend to fit approximately one size small compared to typical European sizes. So, for example if you normally wear a European 42 you would probably want a Bleyer 43.
As we are a UK based site, UK sizes are listed first in our drop-down options. We have used our experience to translate the Bleyer sizes to UK sizes. This means that there are half sizes in some, but not all, UK sizes. This is simply as a result of the translations, so if your feet are a half size that is not listed, we would normally suggest that you select the next half size up. If you’re still not sure which size to select please call or email for advice. Although we are confident that these translations work for most people, this information is not a guarantee and should be used as a guide only.
About The Uppers
The Bleyer Balboa is a high quality, lace-up shoe with matt leather and canvas uppers.
About The Soles
The Bleyer Classic soles are made from cell rubber with a molded heel for great arch support. The material used is a high-tech innovation that gives you the ideal combination of light yet hardwearing soles for dancing. The look and feel of this sole type is at odds with most people’s idea of a rubber sole, it can easily be mistaken for plastic. Dancing with this sole gives a more sure-footed feel than the other Bleyer composite soles or leather soles. It is recommended for beginner or intermediate dancers.
