Great look, horrible quality.
Rating: 1
I love the way these look on dancers' feet, but they ripped within 2 hours of wearing them. They are not not worth the money as far as quality is concerned.

Loved the feel of the shoe.
Rating: 5
We purchased these shoes right before my daughter's dance recital. She loved the feel of the shoe and how they made turns so easy. However, in the middle of her 4th dance in the recital (first use of the shoe), the ball of the foot completely tore out. We returned the shoe for a new pair, and sure enough, the second night of the recital, the shoe tore in the same spot again after about 12 minutes of use.

Bottom Tore on first wearing
Rating: 1
My daughter feel in love with these shoes the first time she saw another girl wearing them. We ordered a pair and had to wait 3 months to get them.The first time she wore them the bottom ripped in two places.I thought Capezio made better quality products than this.

I bought this after looking for a modern shoe that is in my size and I like, I love this shoe! It does have a little wear in it, but I figured out it only does that to mold to your foot! I even bought a pair for a friend as a surprise, love it!

Wear out fast
Rating: 2
My daughter dances 6 hours a week. We are getting about 12 hours of dance out of one pair of shoes, so are spending $40 a month on shoes. The sole rips easily, leaving a hole. Dancing on carpet at a Tremaine Workshop, a new pair were destroyed before the 2 days were over. I am looking at getting a Capezio Breeze for lessons and the Pirouette solely for competitions as that is the shoe our teacher wants to use.

These shoes wear out after just a couple of wears. I am now buying the seventh pair to get through (hopefully) the competition season, and my daughter wears them for two dances. I found they ran small as well. I really am looking forward to never buying another pair. Pointe shoes last longer.

Horrible
Rating: 2
I think that the idea and the design has potential, but the designers need to make the shoe to it's FULL potential before allowing people to buy it. If this is it, that's sad. Also, I agree that these shoes are HIDEOUS and very unattractive. And it seems that everything on this website runs small, so buy a bigger size. :)

I LOVE these shoes. I ordered them for my lyrical class and fell in love. They are so easy to run in and they are very comfortable. They did show marks after the first hour but oh well. Get a size larger though than what you thought. I'm a 7 and it says small but I got a medium and they are PERFECT! I'll be getting these again.

They do wear out quickly, BUT if you cut the thicker elastic off and just use the thinner one, they will last longer...mine lasted from May until November with wearing them for teaching ballet/lyrical a few days a week. Same for my students, lasted from May until September.
I tried on a new pair and did not cut elastic and in 2 weeks, ripped a hole in the bottom. As far as comfort, they must be broken in like all other shoes. Dance shoes are not made for comfort people...

Lasted one month

I bought these for a contemporary class that I take once a week and they only lasted halfway through the 4 class. I got a large tear across the bottom of the shoe on the ball of the foot. It's not like I was dancing on these 5 hours a day... it was a total dance time of 3.5 hours! It is such a bummer because I really liked the look and the feel of the shoe. I definitely wouldn't recommend this shoe unless you are doing very little dancing and are doing it on brand new, clean, smooth floors. Otherwise, they are going to tear.

They don't last long. Have gone through 2 pair in a month. If they were made of canvas in nude color, would they last longer. Great for dancing and turning and look good on stage. Just need to improve durability.

My studio ordered 49 pairs of this shoe. We were so excited to get them as we loved the look they gave on stage. By the end of our first four-hour rehearsal, 6 pairs had already ripped. (The rip is on the bottom of the shoe). I do not recommend this shoe.

Great but watch sizing
Rating: 4
First, as many have said before, the life span on these is short. Suggest having practice pair and performance pair. They are great for protection of toes (used to use paws). Allows you to feel the floor and gives a beautiful POINTE.
Only problem right now is getting them...back-ordered so PLAN AHEAD.
I would suggest placing wider feet in larger size...many of my 9's who should have been in a Med. had to be moved up to a Large.

These shoes are pretty good. Most modern shoes with the exposed toes didn't do much for me (my toes would get torn up). They fit perfectly and turns are so simple in them. However, the seam DOES cut into my toes a little, though not enough to really bother me.
All in all, I think the shoes are great, but the design should be refined a little.

Nice style but not durable!
Rating: 2
They are really comfortable but, like what everyone says, "They rip easily". I really like the style of it because they protect my toes but, I would rather have a modern shoe that lasts longer than just one use.

These shoes are great. I recommend them for all types of dancers. The only bad part is they don't last as long as normal jazz shoes.

As a rhythmic gymnast, I'd had these type of shoes for years, and was thrilled when my modern teachers okay-ed them for class. Very comfortable and last forever. Also, with the bottom elastic, you can twist it around your foot so it loops over the top if you need a tighter fit.
