Great dancing shoes (but please size up if you're half size)
These shoes are very comfortable. So glad I bought them. The material is great and the full support on the bottom is what I needed. I would suggest that if you're a half size, to size up. I'm an 8.5 and it fit me super tight so I returned them and bought the size 9 and they fit me way better. I do not have wide feet and they're not chunky either.But other than that, I totally recommend them

wonderful shoes
Very nice construction, materials, and look. Got several compliments. Comfortable, too. I got them for tai chi but the narrow sole does not support me edge to edge so balance on one foot is challenging, but maybe I can improve my balance and make them work. I would love to keep on using them for tai chi.I went one higher than the recommended size and they go on with some effort but then are a perfect fit.

They are larger than I thought they would be. You do not need to go a half size larger.
They are soft and comfortable. The soles are a nice suede.

Comfortable jazz shoe
I am between 7.5 and 8 in sneakers (usually wearing 8) with a medium to wide foot. In this shoe I got both the 8 and the 7.5. The 7.5 fit better in the length (the 8 was slightly too long) but the 7.5 is more snug in the width and harder to fit with socks. However, compared to regular jazz shoes, these are much more comfortable for me. The heel is a bit flatter, so it doesn't hurt my arch. There is no arch support but the cushioning is good and protects my feet during jumps. I might glue in a small felt arch support, but overall these are great and I like them better than normal jazz shoes.

Too narrow and not easy to slip on!
I bought these in a size 6.5, which is the size I usually wear. The length was fine, but they were narrow on me. Also, I didn’t feel that they were easy to slip on.

TORN STITCHING AFTER FIRST USE
Although the fit is perfect, the stitching on the heel started fraying after the first use.

Appropriate Slippage
I bought these for a ballroom dance class my husband and I take. We aren't serious dancers, so I wanted an inexpensive pair of shoes with a good slide factor. I've learned that the shoes can't be too grippy, or you'll dance jerkily and probably turn an ankle. Too much slippage may cause you to fall on a turn or spin. And like the baby bear, these shoes are just right.
