Mr. Shoe in the shops surrounding the Grafton Centre is pretty good for more unusual stuff.

There is a dance shoe shop in Cambridge, but they focus on formal dances like Ballet. The most popular Lindy Hop shoe is the casual 'Canvas Lace Up Pump'. The premium brands are Converse and Vans. There is a Vans shop in the Grand Arcade but you can find them cheaper in the huge shops (like John Lewis, Debenhams and Sports Direct) and specialist fashion shoe shops (like Schuh and Office). For a more formal (wedding) Lindy Hop shoe, 'leather brogues' are fashionable for both genders. Look in the same list of shops, plus Jones and Clarks. Any shoe that is comfortable and flexible with a flat low-grip sole is good. Just wander around town and find something you like!

Thanks for your replies.. I already dance in Vans pumps so was after something a bit more formal and was really wondering if there were any specialist shops worth checking like: http://www.canamadancesupplies.co.uk/products/womens-shoes/ in worlington or http://www.revival-retro.com/retro-clothing/womens-remix-vintage-shoes/swing-dance-shoes-womens-remix-vintage-shoes in London.. But I'll take a look in Clarks and Mr Shoe etc. too
