swingdance dancingshoes contradance
They come in a variety of heel heights and there are a few different styles, most more closed than what I link to (that just happens to be the last style I bought). They're most commonly found in black or a kind of taupe, but a little searching will lead you to snazzier colors.
Incidentally, they were not only my go-to shoe for swing class and theater nerdery,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but also for working retail,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], working at trade shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and tromping around the hills of San Francisco. Very comfortable and sturdy.
My solution,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], recommended by my dance teachers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was to take a pair of shoes I already had and liked to a local cobbler to get the soles re-covered with suede. (You can also do leather, but I like suede better for dancing.) A good cobbler can do it with pretty much any pair of shoes, and the cost was quite reasonable -- I think I paid $35,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in Berkeley.
As a side note, have fun dancing! I took a Lindy Hop class on a whim a year and a half ago, and was hooked within two months. About to go out dancing tonight, in fact.

2nd character shoes. You'll feel like a character!

I've been wearing Promenaders Majestic for contra for the last eight years or so. I dance at least twice a week, and only recently had to get a second pair. Cheaper pairs often come up on eBay. I'm afraid I have no idea how they'd do for swing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though.

When I was swing dancing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I wore a pair of sturdy, Steve Madden-ish Mary-Jane style shoes with a nice broad heel. Cute, but I could land on them solidly. (And I found them on sale somewhere -- nice character shoes can get expensive.)

I went to our local dance store and got the cheapest beginner Capezio dance shoes they had -- $30ish, fwiw. I believe they are this pair. I told the salesperson that I did contra and swing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and she said that they would be great for both, and she was right. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised at how they instantly made me a better dancer simply by making my footing more secure. I also do ballroom,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], English country dance, Irish and Scottish in these shoes -- they're very versatile, in other words.

You can absolutely cover the soles of any pair of shoes you like with rubber cement and the suede you can buy at a shoe repair shop,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or just take them in and have them done professionally like not me recommended. I've been doing this for years.
On the other hand,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there's always these if your tastes incline more towards traditional dance shoes and your budget is a bit larger.

Seconding finding a cobbler and getting a comfortable pair of shoes chromed (putting suede on the soles). It gives you a much larger range of shoes to choose from,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and if you don't want to commit to 'dancing shoes' you can also have the suede taken off. I did a lot of swing and lindy hop for several years in a pair of chromed Pumas and loved them. The added advantage is that it gives some more cushion to your feet. The majority of dancers I danced with would do the same thing. If there are dance web forums in your area, you might be able to find out if there's a cobbler in your city who specialises in this; often most of the dancers will go to the same place. You also may be able to ask the people you're taking the class through.
