Wear these, feel better, dance better.
Rating: 5
Own a few pairs of the black ones. Very comfortable. Wear them most of the time. Great price. Seems to really help cure my flat feet arches. I usually wear man's 9E wide, for me their 13.5 is snug if on my feet all day, 14 is perfect. My ballroom dancing has improved lots since as now can do the toe with heel raised high balanced on one foot. Lots of dancers I know wear these.

They are the best shoes ever and I use them for Irish Dance.

Great for any type of dance!
Rating: 5
I've bought up to 3 pairs of these and love them. I do Latin Ballroom dance, and these really help me practice during times when my feet are tired from my heels and I need to regain connection with the floor. I've worn these to social dancing, competitions (anytime that I'm not on the competition floor) and on the street. I prefer them over regular sneakers sometimes! The only flaw that I've encountered with these are that the plastic part in the front for spinning on pointe starts to peel off from the fabric after a year or so. But then again, we drag our toes on the floor in Latin so maybe this does not present as a problem for other types of dancing. Overall, I've known both men and women who wear these for ballroom and love them. I really recommend them!

I just got these sneakers in the mail yesterday and after a long day on my feet, in retail, (on your feet all day)with previous dance injuries to my knees. I slipped these on and I was in heaven. I had no pain at all!!! Fit true to sizing. The pink are so cute. Didn't think I would like pink but LOVE THEM.

Really good!

I purchased these shoes two years ago and have danced hard core on my school kickline and pom team. we practice often and are jumping the whole time on our toes. I have a small rip in them, but after two intense years and at this price, it would be worth it. Too bad I paid full price!

I wear these shoes for Zumba and Line Dancing. They are GREAT, I love them but they run small.
I wear a 7 in a street shoe and 7.5 in athletic shoe. I had to get a size 9. I ordered the 8 but they were way too small.

Great looking shoes
Rating: 4
I've ordered two pairs in pink and a blue, but I was very disappointed when they were so small, I've returned them, so I can get a size larger. I can't hardly wait to start using them.

I bought these shoes a few years back and I always found them extremely uncomfortable. It fits well, though -- I generally am a size 5, and the size 6 was a perfect fit.

My favorite shoe!

I absolutely love these shoes. I wore them all through high school. They are a little beat up but still held up since the day I got them.

I liked this shoe a lot until after about 100 hrs of dance, the leather tore away from the sole on the front instep. I have a narrow instep and tightening the laces to fit may have put undue stress on the shoe. Still, I expect to get a bit more wear out of a shoe that's expensive.

These shoes ROCK, and I'm getting ready to buy my 2nd pair BUT pay attention to the size warnings: I usually wear a 7, so I ordered an 8. I wish I'd gone 8.5, and will this time. I have a narrow heel, but a wide toe, so that is probably why I need to go a smidge larger. If you, too, have a wide toe - be forewarned (and the only reason I gave it a 4 not a 5). I've had knee surgery, so the pivot point on the ball of these shoes is the #1 feature, and really helps protect my knee when turning. Also, I love the high arch. Great shoe!

Great shoes for zumba. I received it yesterday and absolutely love it. I ordered size 8.5 and my regular shoe size is 7. They fit but little smaller. So when you are buying,
take their size suggestion seriously.

I just received my first pair of these! They fit as advertised, which is, in my opinion, a real issue, especially when ordering on line. I am especially pleased with the quality as well. How they will wear for me I don't know, as I tend to be rather hard on my shoes in general. I'm wearing them now and don't want to take them off. I guess I'll have to sometime.

Great for irish dance
Rating: 5
My daughter loves the feel of these shoes. She says they are good for practicing hard and soft. I was surprised how long they lasted. No Wear or tear; even with dancing in parades on the street. The best investment I've made in dance.

Great shoes! I've worn these 4 times a week in a high-impact dance class for nearly 2 years. It seemed time to retire them, so I tried another brand but was disappointed. So, I just bought two new pairs of these, in blue and in black. They have great support for the high impact, and they make turning really easy. The arch support isn't great, but I think that would be true of any split-sole dance shoe. I just added an insert with arch support. Also, the size suggestion is accurate... I wear a 9 in street shoes, a 10.5 in these.
Only one complaint: The blue is not nearly as attractive in person as in the web picture. They're very pastel, although I do like them more with black laces (provided) instead of the pastel blue ones.

Great Fit at a Great Price - Order 2!
Rating: 5
Lightweight, good fit, smooth on the dance floor. I just ordered my 2nd & 3rd pairs of these. I tried a different style and they were too cumbersome, so I'm back for more of this sneaker. They make dancing effortless -- really do make you "light on your feet."

LOVEEE!

I'm a lyrical/jazz/hip hop dancer, and these shoes are perfect for the latter two. Amazing color--I get so many compliments! Very comfortable despite the fact that I bought them in a size too small! Make SURE to buy these in A SIZE LARGER! Other than that, they're perfect!

I love these. I just got these 10 minutes ago, and I've been walking around the house in them since!!!
I agree with all, buy one size larger :-)

Love them
Rating: 5
I love how my foot looks when I point in them, and turning is a breeze in these.
I recommend two things: buy them 1 SIZE LARGER, and buy them on this site because they're expensive as heck in stores!

Fits wider metatarsal and narrow heel!
Rating: 5
Enhances arch and allows full articulation of foot. Supportive construction/design without foot feeling constricted during movement. Fits wider metatarsal feet with narrower heel.

Same shoe, but now in other colors too?
Rating: 5
I bought these in black before they were offered in other colors, and I'm certain it's the same shoe. I LOVE them! I'm entering my 5th year with the same pair of sneakers and I have no holes or tears (though some friends got a hole where the big toe hits on the top- and I think it was because their shoes were a little too small). I love the way they look from afar. I was a team member on, and later coached, a high school Dance Team, and these shoes are great for high school performances; both indoor and outdoor. A fantastic all-purpose shoe! It is harder to show off your pointed toes-especially if you're a beginner with new shoes- but it is a sneaker, so if elegant pointed toes is what you're looking for, you probably won't be looking at this shoe. Depending on your foot shape, they can be hard on the arches at first- but in my experience, I only heard that complaint in the beginning, before they were broken in. My street shoe is size 10W, and I wear an 11.5 in these shoes. And, like I said, they're fantastic all-purpose shoes and they really do look good from an audience point of view.

These are my ever-shoe!
Rating: 5
I'm on my 3rd pair in two years. I wear them EVERYHWHERE almost everyday! They are so comfortable and the style/shape is very flattering. My only problem is that I've worn a hole at the edge of the suede on one, and I put a crack in the sole at the ball of the foot on another. But again, I use them for everything: rain, shine, dance, snow! I highly recommend these shoes!!! If it's your first time buying, buy at least 1.5 sizes bigger to make sure they fit!

I LOVE them! I teach Zumba with them and they are the best shoes I've ever put on my feet. I am a size 8 in street shoe and wear 9 1/2.

So Comfortable!

I absolutely love these shoes! I bought them to teach Zumba and they are great. I can glide all over the floor! Great arch support too. I had to get mine two sizes bigger, so just be aware that they're not kidding about them running small.

Fabulous shoe!
Rating: 5
I purchased these shoes and 3 others on this website and found these to be the best all around. They have a wonderful fit, are comfortable, lightweight, attractive, easy to turn on, and are somewhat breathable. I purchased the black ones in a size 8 (my street size is 7) and they fit perfectly with just a TINY bit of wiggle room. I wore these to an NFL Cheerleader audition and there were several girls I saw wearing the same shoes, and the ones I talked to said they loved them. I'm thinking about getting them in pink too ;-)

Runs very very very very small!
Rating: 4
I live in Japan. My salsa friends and I ordered these shoes. I ordered two full sizes up than my regular street shoe and was able to fit into it. I like these shoes enough. The back is really cute too (^_^) But none of my other friends could fit into them. They were really, really small. So be sure to order way bigger than you think you need. The shoe is really, really cute and easy enough to dance in. It came with both black and pink laces, which gives it a different look. It doesn't make sense to send back the shoes with international shipping rates and all, but because they are so cute, we quickly found some other girls with smaller feet to buy the shoes off of us and we are re-ordering. So, all of Japan will be wearing pink shoes soon . . . who knows. Hopefully, we get the right size this time.

I live in these shoes. I have them in 5 colors including the blue that is no longer available. It fits my foot, allows me to move freely and balance on my toes or otherwise. I purchased them for dance and now wear them all the time.

After using them three times per week, to dance for 4 or more hours per day, they only have torn in the sole. I am going through the website to buy the same ones or perhaps some other look, just for a change. They are the most comfortable ones I've ever worn.

Love 'em

I bought a pair for dancing (swing, contra, set...)
They are wonderfully comfortable. Makes it much easier to last thru a weekend of dancing without feet, knees and hips hurting afterwards. The addition of a super-feet insole helps with the arch support.

I bought these in pink for an accessory. Immediately put a hole in the bottom of the suede. Am now to afraid to wear them for tearing it further. Also had issues with the sizing being off slightly.

Best jazz sneakers ever!

I love these shoes! I would get them in a fun color like pink or blue, but I couldn't wear them in performances then. They last forever, and could be sold after you grow out of them, because they wear so well!

It's a great shoe; my mom, my sister and I got a pair. They are really nice and a great value. The only thing I had a problem with, was it was kind of hard to balance because the bottom of the shoe is so thick. But other than that, it's a good shoe.

Something like these..

I had a pair like these a few years ago. I would still have them, if I'd not grown out of them. They were an earlier model of these... red and black. I was the first in my dance studio to own them,really happy with them!!

I bought these shoes in the pink and they are super cute! While I usually wear a size 7 I bought a size 6 and they are fitting fine, so I'm not sure if I would follow the fitting directions.

I have purchased these dance sneakers in blue and pink as gifts for my daughters, who just love them. They are a great accessory and are fun to have for dance class. They are also of great value for the money, giving fantastic support to both the feet and ankle. As an additional pair, they help >my daughters< maintain the condition of their black sneakers that they use for performances. If you are looking for a gift for your dancer, I would definitely recommend them. They can also easily be worn as fashionable street accessories.
