gorgeous - the new Distributors for Bleyer
Shoes throughout the United States

March 2008, was a gorgeous "milestone" - our 4th anniversary as
the largest distributor world-wide, for the fabulous Bleyer range
of Swing, Rock 'n' Roll & Rockabilly dance & street shoes.

Also from March 2008, gorgeous were appointed as the official
Bleyer distributor for the entire USA - we've already been the
Australian & New Zealand distributors for over 8 years.

                             


Bleyer shoes have been, & still are, the first choice for
Swing & Rock 'n' Roll dancers on every Continent.

This is "no surprise" to dancers who know their shoes,
because they're the very best available anywhere.

It's been a difficult time for US dancers, unsuccessfully
looking for Bleyer shoes over recent months.

But that's no longer the case.

Because 'as a matter of course', gorgeous carries stocks
of approximately 500 pairs of shoes at any single time,
for the most popular Bleyer styles & combinations.

Because we'll bet you became very, very tired of hearing:
"we'll order them in, but it will be about 3 or 4 months"

Especially as it takes only around 4 to 5 days for your
shoes to arrive 'on your doorstep' from Australia.

As with the rest of the gorgeous range, you'll discover our
prices for Bleyer shoes are exceptionally competitive.

If you'd like a copy of our comprehensive US$ Price List
& shoes info, we'd be delighted to email it to you.

You can contact us at:

The "Bleyer" Range

Bleyer shoes  -  made entirely by hand, each model is crafted to be as
lightweight as possible, while providing shock absorption and comfort
during the rigorous pounding, hopping, rock-stepping, spinning and
landing that is so much a part of swing & rock 'n' roll dancing...

The majority of the Bleyer shoes range are "uni-sex" shoes, and  
they're great dancin' shoes for both the gals 'n' guys...



See Size Chart for fittings at:



wedgie
                   
Absolutely vintage style - totally adjustable & completely comfortable…
The insole is built-in & is shaped so that it's moulded to your foot - they're
about as comfortable as you can get…
Along with the Swivel style immediately below, we refer to the Wedgies
as "the most comfortable shoes in the universe"...
Heels are approximately 2" high (5 cm) and are a real
pleasure to wear & dance in…
Standard colours are:  Black matte   or   White matte   or   Beige matte...
Note: non-standard colours not available...
Bleyer sizes:  37  to  43


swivel

                 

Swivels are so “forties” & look equally fabulous with a skirt, dress or sailor pants…
Swivel styles also look “cool” with laces or coloured ribbons tied around
your ankles & Mary has made many outfits for our customers
with matching "ties" for their Swivels…
Along with the Wedgie style immediately above, we refer to the Swivels
as "the most comfortable shoes in the universe"...
A great way to match & colour-co-ordinate your shoes with your clothes…
Standard colours are:  White matte   or   Black matte   or   Cabernet matte...
Note: non-standard colours not available...
Bleyer sizes:  37  to  43
Out of the 120+ styles that gorgeous carry, the "Swivel" is far & above the most popular we carry - especially in Black. Only the Bleyer Cushion Insole is more popular.



STOP  PRESS  #1
            
The Swivels with the chrome suede soles & cork-covered heels
have been an exceptionally popular Bleyer style…
So we were naturally disappointed when Bleyer made us aware they
were discontinuing them - & changing to the molded plastic soles…
The molded soles are fabulous, but we're aware that some
dancers still prefer the suede/cork combination…
Because we wanted to be able to supply our customers for as long
as possible - gorgeous bought the entire Bleyer inventory…
We're the only supplier in the whole world that still has any
stock left - but only in White & in Cabernet…
And we've already SOLD OUT in most sizes…
Even Bleyer themselves no longer have any stock...
We've grown to be the biggest supplier of Bleyer swing & rock 'n' roll
shoes in the world - & our customers (from the USA in particular)
have been "snapping up" the chrome suede sole Swivels…
We even had a lady purchase 3 pairs for her daughter's wedding…
But the interesting thing about this purchase, is that she is a Bleyer
retailer in the USA - & could no longer get them herself…
So contact us if you'd like to order any of these shoes…
There's not many left, & once they're gone - they're gone FOREVER…


STOP  PRESS  #2
We're pleased to announce that the Swivel in Cabernet with the
molded sole has now been re-inroduced into the Bleyer range…

So contact us if you'd like to order Swivels in this great colour…
