Strap is tight for high arch
Rating: 3
This shoe seems ok for my 5 year old, but my only complaint is that after her dance class, which is one hour, she takes the shoe off and has a mark where the strap was, like the circulation in her foot is being cut off. She doesn't really complain but it looks painful! She does have a high arch though, so that may be why. I thought maybe it was just a defective shoe, so when she outgrew them we bought the next size, but they did the same exact thing too. I am afraid to cut the elastic in case the shoe falls off. Then I'll have to buy another pair. Her first shoe ever was capezio, and I don't remember that happening with those, so we may try capezio again.
My other complaint is that the ties are really stiff and are always coming undone, which means my daughter runs out of class 2-3 times to have me tie her laces. ugh

These shoes are good for starters in ballet, but I wouldn't recommend them for serious dancers.

I purchased these partly because of the reviews. They were all true! These shoes are true to size, and very comfortable according to my daughter. The price isn't bad either. You can't go wrong with these.

These shoes are great for just starting ballet but the strings keep on going back into the shoe and don't let you point your feet very easily. And after a while the soles start to harden up and can make you fall very easily.

Loves It

My younger sister had these shoes. She recently switched to split-sole, but when she had these she loved them. They last forever and help strengthen arches, preparing for pointe work. I myself wore these shoes when I was younger, and I recommend!

Ballet School recommends
Rating: 5
This shoe has been used at my ballet school for the past 14 years by our 3yrs - pre-pointe level. The older girls like the split-sole kind but only if they are on pointe, can they switch. It's nice looking, forms to point of foot, it helps them strengthen their feet, it holds up, and a great price. Ballerinas stick the drawstring in so no worries about shoes coming untied. My daughter had her first pair last year and we made it all year in the same shoe. We just bought a 1/2 size bigger for this season. If your child has a very wide foot, you can get D and E width from your local dance store.

Great shoe for beginners

Very sturdy, good shoe for young dancers. The leather is thicker than Capezio's and better quality overall. Until my daughter is ready for split sole, these are great shoes for her.

Used Them For More Than 3 Years!
Rating: 5
I own a pair right now, but decided to buy a new one since my old ones are wearing out. They lasted since last summer and I'm still using them today! I personally think these shoes work out for me. They are comfortable and I really think these shoes are awesome because leather and full sole shoes seem hard to get these days. I really do recommend Bloch's "Dansoft" shoes!

Working on Pair #3!
Rating: 4
We've just purchased our third pair of these shoes, so I guess my 3-year-old likes them!
They are soft leather, and very durable. My daughter insists on wearing them as street shoes EVERY DAY, and they hold up until she outgrows them. The reasonable price makes buying three pair in one year more bearable as well.
My only complaint about these (and my reason for only giving 4 stars) is that I am constantly having to tie these for her - - the elasticized ties come undone constantly, no matter how many knots I put in them.
Still - I recommend them!
