I am currently in a show and discovered that I needed jazz sneakers that offered more traction. These were easy to break into, despite the fact that the cushions inside were a bit uncomfortable and loose at first. The shoes offer good arch support. I took the advice of previous reviews. My street shoe size is 8.5 or 9. I ordered a 9, and they fit well, leaving enough room for socks.

When I received these in the mail I was so excited. they looked really nice and felt true to size. however after dancing in them the first time they hurt the arches of my feet terribly. I only performed one dance and I was in pain.

shoes great, sizing poor
by: jennieb - 09/11/2019 - Antelope,CA
Comfort: 
Durability:
I have purchased these shoes for my grandson for the last 3 years. They fit well and hold up to a year's worth of dance lessons. However, the sizing is next to impossible. I have had to send back shoes every year (this year, twice) because they don't fit. You really should include a foot chart that could be downloaded so that purchasers can see what sizes the shoes really are. Or give the lengths in inches.

I love these sneakers so much I bough another pair so I would not forget to put them back in my main dance bag. They are comfortable and work well for samba and bellydance.

Don't Go Larger Than Your Regular Shoe Size
by: ChooseWisely - 02/05/2016
Comfort:
Even though the shoe sizing instructions say to choose a size 1.5 or 2 times larger than your regular shoe size, don't do it. I wear an 8.5 (sometimes an 8, every once in a while a 9) so I went with a 9.5. I had at least an extra inch between the end of my toes and the shoes and that was with thick socks on and after dancing for a few minutes on my kitchen floor. Also the arch was in the wrong place at that size. I'm returning them.

Sufficient, not wonderful

If I had to purchase this style of shoe again, I would go back to capezio. This brand of shoe was definitely not as sturdy. It will work for the type of dancing I'm using them for, but I wouldn't purchase them again. They look and feel inferior to the capezio I have had in this same style before. In fact, I could go on pointe in the capezios and not these at all. (And that's with the capezios I have had for years that finally were falling apart. These would be good for small children, not so much for adults who want to get a lot of use.

I couldn't wear these for more than 5 minutes. It felt like there was a super ball in the middle of my heel. Returned them immediately.

I run a studio and work at another. At my studio, I have all my student wearing them! They fit GREAT, just like the street shoe makes it simple and fast for sizing and ordering! :)

These shoes are very comfortable and provide great arch support. I felt it took a couple of wearings to break them in, but now they are doing great. When I try on shoes, I usually start with an 8 and work my way down in size from there, as depending on the brand I wear 8, 7.5, or 7. Because of reviews suggesting these shoes run small, I ordered the 8, and they fit fine. I definitely would not find a smaller size comfortable, though.

great shoe
by: DorisC - 09/10/2013
Comfort:
I had my daughters dance teacher measure her, and she recommended this particular shoe for her hip hop class(and this website). My daughter LOVES the shoe. She says they are VERY comfortable. Fit is perfect!!!
Shoes were delivered very promptly. Price was MUCH lower than local dance outlets. Would highly recommend Discount Dance Supply.

Great shoe
by: Ballroomdancer - 05/17/2012
Comfort:
Durability:
I went with the cheaper style, and I was a little nervous about it, but I love them. They're a little less bulky than the Blochs I had before, and the grips on the bottom are really nice. The leather (as opposed to mesh) makes them stiffer, but they're breaking in fine. Very happy with these. I got the recommended one size bigger, and they fit perfectly.
