Good fit and good sole for zumba
I wear a US women's 4.5 to size 5. I ordered the Sansha 5 (4 US women's) and the fit was perfect. If anything, it was a little too loose and I need to wear it with socks.I like my shoes snug so I can feel the wood floor beneath. The suede soles are very smooth and allow me to pivot without having my foot get stuck, thereby sparing twisting my knees. These soles are only slightly grippier than wearing socks alone. If you want more support for floor pounding, or more grip, these might not be for you.They are thin, sensitive and smooth-soled which is what I wanted. Note that in the picture there is only one piece at the ball of the sole. There actually is an additional piece toward the toe which I find makes it more comfortable; otherwise it would feel like a ballet shoe.

Zero Traction
Absolutely treacherous. Nearly broke my neck trying to dance in them on a marley dance floor.

I am an adult who does Irisj Ceili dancing. Our performances are typically very informal. I usually practice in dance sneakers and will wear these for performance. I had the canvas version before an the sizing is consistent with those. My street shoe size is US W7.5, so I ordered an 8 and they fit perfectly with thin socks/tights. I know from having the canvas ones for a reasonably long time that these hold up well for their price. The suede sole has enough slide in it to be able to do sliding steps but without slipping and falling. The split sole fits my foot well.

Good for practicing.
These shoes are very cool. They are very comfortable and light. just perfect for my class lessons. They fit very well, and the leather gives an extra style.

Sent 2 sizes too large!
I disliked that I was sent shoes 2 sizes too large and wasn't able to exchange them, due to Sansha's no exchange policy. Amazon was kind enough to refund my money. Very sad because I have loved Sansha's shoes in the past. Now I don't trust Sansha. If I order more from them, will the same will happen? Sigh.

Great value!
These dance shoes are a great value! They are super comfortable. I've been wearing mine ~1x/week for the last 6 months and they have held up well. My only complaint is that I can't use my wire brush to rough up the suede bottom (as I do with all my other dance shoes) because of all the stitching around the suede. Therefore, the suede bottom has now become very slick and too slippery on some floors.
