Rupunzel04/04/2014SIZE NOT CONSISTENT IN CARAMEL COLOR
I have ordered this shoe in black and it was a perfect fit and very comfortable. Then I needed it in caramel and the sizing is very inconsistent. My normal size, 6.5, was half an inch to big and slightly tight so I went down a half a size and wide. I could not get my foot in the shoe. So I went to a dance shop and I tried half a size bigger it but it folded weird in the toes, so I now have ordered it in two different sizes hoping that one will fit and look good.

TMB7106/27/2013COMFORTABLE, SHOE WELL MADE
I purchased these shoes for my 13 yr old daughter in size 8 wide. They are true to size. She says they are very comfortable. I ordered the tan color but the actual color looks more like taupe. The color is a bit disappointing as we were expecting them to be lighter but we are keeping them. She likes them, they are comfortable and that is all that matters right now.

dancerdancer352308/17/2012HALF SIZE TOO BIG
it's a really good shoe, it's very thick leather compared to "bloch super jazz shoe" it has a good sole at the bottom and the inner sole in very comfortable, it's really easy so "a la seconde" turns in this but the only down size is that it's a half size to big AND the elastic started to ripped and fall apart and it made the shoe even bigger the shoe felt very loose on the heel

Sarah08/08/2010LOVE THESE SHOES!
I got these shoes about 1 year ago and I love them! They are super comfy and they are great for quick changes in between classes. I believe I got 1 size bigger and they still fit my feet. For competitions, they are great. I use a magic eraser to clean them and all the dirt wipes away almost instantly! I totaly recommend these shoes!

Liza07/03/2010AMAZING!
I had these jazz shoes 2 years ago, and they were amazing! Last year, I bought different ones, and the leather faded! I will never buy other ones again! For the sizing, then I was a size 1 or 2 in kids, and I got a size 2 or 3, so definitely either goes with your size or a size bigger!

Basimah10/12/2009 Cleveland, Oh,EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED
I bought these shoes almost 3 years ago when I started belly dancing. I needed something flesh-tone that would protect the top of my feet when doing floor work. 3 years later, I'm still wearing them and they have served me well! I'm ready to "graduate" to sandals, but these shoes will stay in my practice bag.

Sarah07/13/2009 Herndon,va,SIZING CHART DOESN'T SEEM ACCURATE
Ordered these shoes to the specs outlined. I'm a size 7 1/2, ordered 8 1/2 and they are huge!!! Went to local store, tried on exact same boot, exact color and I was a true 7 1/2.

Nicole06/18/2009 Utah,COLOR AWARENESS!
OK so I started off with Bloch jazz shoes which are amazing but my teacher recommended we try these for our next shoe. So I was reading the reviews and noticed there are a lot of color comments so I got my tan jazz shoes and compared them to these colors and if you want the tan like Bloch, I would get the caramel color but that's just my opinion.

Bella04/04/2009 L.a. California,
I don't like the fitting at all. I ordered a size larger and they were huge! And the Tan is not Tan, it and ugly grey color which is nice if that's what you want, but not if you're looking for something like the Bloch Tan color.
But they seemed like nice shoes.

Audrina01/09/2009CONFUSED ABOUT SIZING
I love these shoes, (I have two pairs) they are very comfortable, but I recently had to buy a new pair of them because my others got too small. The first size I had was a 7.5 (in black), so I ordered size 8. The new shoes were soo much bigger than the last ones I had! They fit me but the heel sometimes slips off my foot. Now I need tan ones for my recital, but I am afraid they won't fit! I might have to go buy some from a store.

Pam11/17/2008 Petaluma, Ca,BEWARE OF NEW SIZING!
We've been enjoying wearing these shoes for years, but the pairs we just received are sized way differently than those we've previously purchased. They are much more narrow through the ball of the foot and toes, wider in the heel, and much longer by about 2 sizes. We wear size 6 1/2 M street shoes and ordered 7 1/2 M. I was told by DDS that 1/4" = 1 size. They are even more than 1/2" too big. They are great shoes, and the caramel color is awesome, but we may switch to Capezio #CG15 or Blochs.

I have this in the caramel color. I got size 9, which is my street shoe size. They are extremely hard to turn in because the rubber bottoms are hard to wear out and stick to the floor. They are absolutely gorgeous on your feet, though. However, comfortability comes before looks. I would recommend getting the Bloch version of the jazz boot.

Audrina B.09/07/2007 Santa Monica, Ca,BRILLIANT JAZZ SHOES!!!
I love these shoes. They are very comfortable. The caramel color is by all means gorgeous. The shoes enhance your arch wonderfully. If you have worn lace up jazz shoes, these may feel different the first few weeks, but once you get used to them, they are BRILLIANT!

P.03/12/2007 San Diego, Ca,
Sizing is not as advertised. My daughter had this exact model shoe in a size 9 (her street shoe size) that I bought last spring. I read the reviews complaining about the "redesign" of the shoe and subsequent wrong sizes and, just to be sure, called the DDS Customer Service Rep. He told me that one half to one size larger than street shoe was adequate. Wrong. The size 10 we received was smaller than the size 9 she has! Go two sizes larger at least. I feel a little jipped having to reorder these shoes.

This shoe is very durable, and easy to dance in. But do not listen to the sizing instructions! I bought a size 9 1/2 for my company's Christmas show and couldn't get them off my feet (with tights on)! I ended up punching myself in the face when they came off and had a black eye for the show!

Broadway Bound01/09/2007 New Albany, Oh,SIZING IS DRASTICALLY OFF
Our studio loves these shoes, but the re-design has really thrown off the sizing. Most of our students are going at least 2 sizes up from street shoe! Beware when ordering!

Anonymous07/18/2006 New Jersey,
I have been getting this shoe for years now and they have recently done some tweaking to the shoe. To make your arch seem more lifted during pointe, it almost feels like they put an elastic band in the arch of the shoe (this is not the case though, but just giving you an insight as to how it may feel for some). If you have flat feet, this may bother you because on my one foot, I have a nice somewhat high arch, but on my other foot that was recently injured due to my arch dropping, I was in a lot of pain. It felt like my shoe was a lot smaller than it really was. I couldn't wear it for long periods of time until I eventually broke it in on that one foot. So flat feet wearers beware! Other than that though, I love this shoe and think it is the best jazz shoe hands down. Nicely fitted and beautiful on everyone's foot (if fitted properly)!

Bri07/05/2006THE PERFECT SHOE FOR THE MODERN DANCER!!
I own this shoe and I use it many times a week for my Jazz classes and practicing. It has the perfect flexibility and comfort. It was better than my old lace-up shoes. On the other hand, if you use them a lot, they can get skid marks, but they are easy enough to wash off.

Chris05/06/2006 Massachusetts,
These are probably the best shoes in the world. They do get worn out if you dance a lot. I had to buy another pair in February because there were holes in the ones that I bought in September, but they're a great shoe.

Sarah S 02/01/2015 Age: 17 or under do these shoes stretch out?
Mine are very tight on the toes right now.
Shoes can stretch a bit with wear. However, even new shoes should not feel tight on your toes. Try going up a half size or a whole size to find the proper fit. A half size larger would be approximately a quarter of an inch longer. - DDS Customer Service (02/03/2015)
