Our new for the 2024/25 season ‘Gibson’ is an updated version where we offer two more comfort-based fittings: a 'Regular F-Fit' and a 'Comfort G-Fit' Knowing this style is most often used for social dancing, it shouldn't have the tighter 'competition' fit that the original design had. Additionally, over time, feet shape have changed and the last shape used for the original shoe is over 30 years old! So we decided to modernise for today's world, and here we are. The new versions (the 'F' and 'G' fittings) offer more space in the toe box and a wider insole base so that the feet can spread nicely, and you can dance even more comfortably. The insole includes a metal shank for enhanced support and stability. Sizing information is displayed below. Shank within the insole for enhanced support and stability Lightweight Gel padding from the tip of the toe to the back of the heel for cushioning and comfort Wider in fitting compared to most competition shoes for more of a comfort fit Made in England This shoe is pictured on the 1” heel and is available in a Regular/F-fit or a Comfort/G-fit. We stock this design on the 1” heel in both the 'Regular F-fit' and the 'Comfort G-fit'. Orders of 'In Stock' combinations usually ship within 1-3 working days, 'Made to Order' combinations will usually ship within 5-10 working days.
