The New Yorker is a stylish and timeless classic. A must have. They have been created based on antique lasts and are an exact replica of a pair of 1940s dress shoes. The shoes themselves are less rounded at the toe than other Bleyer models giving them a smarter and slightly more sophisticated feel. The shoe has a moulded heel for great arch support and the soles have been specifically designed to enhance your movement across the dance floor.
