Description
***LATEST*** The manufacturers have closed down so we are unable to restock with new Bleyers. However, we’ve dug deep in our warehouse to offer some second-quality items, available at a discount while stocks last.
Bleyer Jitterbug Teeny is a light and simple mono colour dance shoe with a cute ankle strap and buckle.
Standard items come in black or white soft matt leather uppers. Fitted with Bleyer Spin Spot soles, specially designed to enhance your movement across the dance floor.
There is some built-in heel-padding, but Bleyer does recommend fitting a Bleyer Leather Insole (code 4423) with these shoes. Some dancers prefer to ‘feel the floor’, but insoles will definitely soften the impact on your joints whilst dancing!
Bleyer Jitterbug Teeny is available as standard in Bleyer size 34 to 43 (covering UK 2.5 to 8). Bleyer size 44 is available as a custom order.
You can choose to pay a modest extra fee to design your own special pair of Jitterbug Teenies! Pick from a wide variety of colours to make them truly your own! For a different look, try the uppers heel section in a contrasting colour to the main body of the shoe! Soles are available in black or white. Straps usually only black or white
Custom Orders are a one-off production, so they do take a little longer to produce.

How They Fit
Order At Least One Size Larger Than Standard Euro Sizes
Bleyer shoes are marked with European sizes but they always fit at least one size smaller than typical European sizes. So, for example, if you normally wear a European 38 you would probably want a Bleyer 39. This works for most people but a very small proportion of people require 2 sizes smaller than standard European. (Nobody ever requires their standard Euro size.)
Ladies Shoe Last
Bleyer Jitterbug Teeny (BS7140) and Lindy Hopper Strap (BS7141) are both produced on Bleyer’s Ladies last so they fit similar to each other. Most ladies with narrow and standard width feet are happy with the fit, ladies with wider feet are less likely to fit this shoe well.
International Shoe Size Conversions
These shoes are produced with whole Bleyer sizes, but we retail to purchasers across the globe so we have used our experience to translate the Bleyer sizes to different international sizing systems. This is by no means perfect and we welcome all feedback to improve our information. There are no Bleyer half sizes, in the translation approximations that means that there are half sizes in some, but not all, other international sizing systems.
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.
Ordering Non-Standard Production Sizes
The Bleyer Lindy Hopper Strap can be purchased as a custom order from Bleyer size 34-36 (UK1-2) and 44 (UK9/EU43). Standard custom order rules apply; there is an additional fee, a delay for production and we can’t accept changes, cancellations or refunds once an order is placed.
Spin Spot Sole
The Spin Spot Sole is a single-piece flat sole, which helps you stay closer to the ground and feel the floor whilst dancing. The sole has remained popular with jive and swing dancers for many years and is ideal as a practice shoe. It has enough movement to help you slide, swivel and glide easily across the floor, as the name suggests there is even a spin spot!
The Spin Spot sole is produced in Bleyer sizes from 35-47. If you are purchasing a size smaller than 35 or larger than 47 that normally takes a Spin Spot Sole then your shoe will normally be fitted with a flat EVA sole instead. This is also synthetic and feels very similar when dancing.
Versatile Sole
Both the Spin Spot sole and the EVA sole will give you more sure-footed confidence than leather or suede when the dancefloor is slippy, and the Bleyer soles will cope with a wider range of surfaces. For example, they will tolerate being worn outdoors, afterwards, they can be wiped down ready for your next dancing. The Spin Spot Sole is made from a special non-staining, PU composite.
Styles Using Spin Spot Sole As Standard
The Bleyer Lindy Hopper Strap (BS7141), Jitterbug Teeny (BS7140), Rock’n’Roll (BS7134), Plain Casual (BS7530) and Boogie Woogie (BS7130) styles all use The Spin Spot Sole as standard. Other sole options, including suede and EVA (both with and without a heel) and cell rubber, are normally available as a custom order.
... Or Pick a Different Sole
Whilst most people love the standard sole with this shoe, some people have a particular favourite Bleyer sole. It’s possible to make a custom order, adding your favourite sole to the shoe style of your choice. Here is the list of sole types that could be available:
- Cell Rubber Sole, all black
- Spin Spot Sole, either all black or all white
- EVA Sole, either flat or with a small heel, and with either a black or white visible edge
- Suede sole, either flat or with a small heel, and with either a black or white visible edge
Purchase options will be shown on this listing. Please note that custom orders are subject of a delay of 4-8 weeks, there is an additional charge and we cannot accept cancellations, amendments or returns once the order is placed. If you are unsure of your Bleyer size, please order a standard order to test for size and then return it in line with our returns policy before proceeding with your custom order.
Returns Policy
Standard Items:
Exchanges will be accepted on the condition that items have only been worn to test for good fit and they are in a perfect condition. Shoes should only be tried on a clean carpeted surface for long enough to determine whether they are a good fit. All returns must be in an identical condition to which they were supplied by us and a completed returns document enclosed.
All returns must be sent back to us within 28 days of the goods being delivered. Payment for return postage is your responsibility. You are responsible for the item until it is received at our return address, to protect yourself against goods being mislaid during the return delivery we recommend that you used a tracked and signed service with sufficient insurance. When you request to exchange a product, once we have received your item we send out the replacement items at our own expense, to the original delivery destination.
Nov-Jan Holiday Period Returns For Standard Items:
We understand that many items purchased during November and December are seasonal presents and the recipient won’t know whether the items fit until the festive day. Purchase your gifts with confidence! Standard products purchased between 1st November and 31st December can be returned subject to normal terms and conditions at any time up to 31st Jan the following year.
Exclusions for Custom Orders:
All items ordered with customizations are produced on the strength of your order, using the exact specification supplied. Therefore, custom Order items cannot be cancelled, amended or returned, so it is essential that you are satisfied that all details such as size, colour, finish and sole selection are correct when placing your order. Custom Orders are normally subject to an additional charge and a delay of 4-8 weeks for production.
Custom Uppers
Don’t fancy the standard colour or finish option? If you’re looking for a unique colour combination, we can help! You can make a special order with any colour combinations. Different material options are available too… so, for example, most colours are available in genuine matt leather as well as matt or patent finish synthetic leather alternatives, which makes some styles a vegan-friendly choice.
Custom orders are one-off productions so they take a little longer and there is a surcharge, get in touch to find out more!
As each custom order is produced to your specific requirements there are special terms that you need to agree before we proceed.
- Each customisation carries an additional fee, the order must be paid in full prior to production commencing
- There can be no cancellations, order amendments or refunds once the order has been placed. (If you are uncertain of your Bleyer you can order a standard product to test for size, return it for refund in line with our returns policy and then proceed with the custom order).
- There will be a delay for production, normally 4-8 weeks prior to dispatch, but this is for guidance, not a guarantee. If you have a deadline then please contact us to discuss whether it is achievable.
Please note that, generally, patent synthetic material is firmer and holds its shape better than matt leather. Within the range of matt leather colours, the black matt leather material tends to be firmer than the matt leathers used for other colour options, which are softer. This can mean that non-black leathers can feel very slightly roomier by comparison.
