These delightfully soft, flat t-strap shoes will make you race on all types of dance floors and in daily life! The double straps of this contemporary style of Vintage shoes are not for decoration alone but also keep your foot snug with the help of two gentle elastic bands. The footbed is – of course – well padded, as with all Saint Savoy shoes. A new favourite!

Our model GRAND PRIX is a relaxed and feminine flat shoe with that certain something. These flat t-strap shoes inspired by a model of vintage shoes are characterised by the extravagance and high quality familiar from Saint Savoy. Their heel is a slight 1.5 centimetres high and the brushed leather sole ensures a “true-to-feel” floor performance. Glide across the dance floor to your heart’s content or wear these comfortable beauties around town! This model is made of extra supple leather and will shape to fit your foot like a glove.

We gave these fancy black shoes a touch of extra interest with beige accents, to add a neutral look overlaying the black.

A convenient and fashionable Saint Savoy shoe bag comes with each pair of shoes. Please remember to peel the protective covering off the sole once you have finalised your purchase.

Megan Abendroth – 26. February 2020

I am in love with these shoes! They fit perfectly and continue to feel comfortable after hours of dancing. I often dance for more than 4 hours at a time and around 4-5 times per week in these shoes.
As for sizing: My foot is a little on the wide side. According to the size chart, I would be a 38,5 and so I sized up to the 39 and it was perfect. In US sizes, I am typically an 8 or an 8.5 if the shoe is narrow. The straps across the center of the foot are snug in a way that feels secure without being too tight. The heel height is perfect for wanting a shoe with very little heel.

I am so happy that I made the decision to get these shoes. I hope they last for a very long time. I would order them again in a heartbeat and I’m looking forward to a day when I can justify having more than one pair of Saint Savoys!

Annelie Damberg – 14. October 2020

I just love my new Grand Prix Saints! The color and style is great for combining with everything. I get compliments about my shoes everytime I use them. The sole is hard enough to make clear rhythms when I dance and the heel has excellent grip, so if I do feel I need to regain balance, I just put it down on the floor. The front part has the right amount of slide for easy swivels that does not hurt my knees, with out being to slippery sideways. The kind of feeling you only get with high-end leather. I have no problem doing aerials and fast lindy with this great pair of shoes on my feet.

How to Care for Your Dance Shoes:

The Ten Commandments for Spiffy and Comfy Shoes

Dance shoes undergo an array of very specific stresses. We see the signs of wear on our shoes as a sign of our love for dancing. However, by following a few simple tips for care, we can easily extend the life of our favourite shoes:

Care for your feet! A well-tended foot has short nails and soft skin free of callouses that may cause uncomfortable pressure.
Should I waterproof my dance shoes?
Always fully open your shoes before slipping into them, and use a shoehorn to help maintain their form.
At Saint Savoy, we use high quality leather for the inside, too. If this lining should cause marks, we recommend a dash of hairspray. It really is surprising how well a thin layer sprayed into the interior of your shoe will makes this problem disappear.
If your dance shoes are dusty or dirty after a long night out, rub them with a soft, moist cloth. Always remember to clean your shoes before applying polish.
It'’s easy to make sure your Saint Savoy shoes keep on shining: try spit and a soft leather brush, or using an old nylon stocking to polish them. It works great, really!
Our shoes are made of fine calf leather. It is important to use high-quality shoe polish to maintain the pliability of leather and seams. We recommend using products containing lanolin. We also advise that you use colourless care products – your clothing and your dance partner will thank you!
Rub leather-covered heels and the shoe’s frame well with polish, too.
Dirt can be washed off Saint Savoy’s special Sender Sole using a mild soap solution and a soft cloth.
Put a shoetree or crumpled newspaper in your shoes after wearing them. This will smooth wrinkles from walking, as well as absorb moisture.

Take care of your feet! A well-tended foot has short nails and soft skin without any callouses that may cause uncomfortable pressure. This will make your shoes more comfortable. There are more sensory cells in our feet than in our face. They ensure our support, balance, and mobility. We demand a very high performance from our feet, especially when dancing, without ever really thanking them for it. Almost no other body part is as underestimated as our feet, even though they are true masterpieces of evolution. A foot massage with moisturizing cream is really a treat for stressed feet; after all, one foot alone has 26 bones, 13 muscles, and 10 joints!
