Look great, feel great
I haven't danced seriously in almost 20 years, but I've been thinking about taking some classes to get back into it. These shoes definitely bring back some memories. They fit very snugly, but not too tight, and without any pinch points. The shoe is thin, but not flimsy, and it breathes well. Most importantly, it moves well. I tried my old trick of putting a bit of bowstring wax on the heel and just behind the ball of the foot, and a little graphite powder on the toe just forward of the ball of the foot, and it still works like a charm. My steps are really precise, my stops are really stable, and when I lift up on my toes a bit, my turns are super fast and clean. They feel about as comfortable as they can be, for dance shoes, taking into account that dance shoes are not supposed to be as comfortable as sneakers or trainers. The profile of these shoes is quite attractive, and if you put a bit of work into it, you can get a bit more shine out of it, despite the perforation. Realistically, just pair it with the right slacks and it will look great. The price is also quite nice, which is good for either a beginner who's not sure if they're going to stick with it, or an old guy like me trying to get back into it. Overall, a nice entry-level shoe.

It's a good shoe for it's price point.
They size one size small but they did send me another size quickly. I wore them for a social and they felt fine and held up very nice. It's a good shoe for it's price point.

Nice
Looks good, lightweight but well-made, and the size seems to be accurate. I had to translate it to women's, because I was getting it for my daughter. She plays a lot of male roles in musicals, so she needs men's dance shoes as well as women's character shoes. I probably should have gone with a 7.5 instead of an 8 though, since she's a woman's 9. The 8 is just a bit too long. But I'm used to mail-order shoes being too small, which is why I sized up. But these seem to be a more accurate fit than most.

Nice pair of Ballroom Dance Shoes
These are listed as "Mens Latin Ballroom Dance Shoes", but they are not Latin heels, they are flats for Standard or Smooth.That said these are a nice pair of ballroom shoes for the price. They are made from leather and suede. They feel comfortable and the size fit as expected. The finish is a smooth matte leather. Great for practice or social dancing.The sole is flexible but feels sturdy. Thev arrived wrapped in tissue and in plastic bags.The only thing that seems out of place are the aglets, the little plastic bits on the end of the shoelaces, are red. This is a little weird, but is a small thing and easily fixed with new shoelaces.Overall, I'm knocking off a star because they are listed incorrectly as Latin shoes, and because of the weird red aglets.That said, they are a decent set of shoes at a reasonable price.

Loving these!
These shoes are great. The size isn't quite true to size, but maybe 1/4 size larger than labeled. As long as I lace them up tightly, they fit fine.They look like nice dress shoes, but are way more comfortable. The felt soles have just the right balance between slip and grip for an average hardwood floor. On highly waxed floors, turns are super easy, but I need to put some extra weight in the heel for good control

Runs large
So, I normally take a size 10, which is what the Amazon algorithm suggested, and although the product's size chart indicated size 9 they also said to go up a size if you have wider or taller feet. I did, but the thing is that these shoes are almost 2 full inches too long! So, if you buy, keep that in mind. Other than that, they're basically fine. They seem thin and perhaps not super durable, but dance shoes usually get beaten up pretty quickly anyway. I'd prefer a little less grip on the outsoles, but that's just because I'm used to tap shoes. They do look nice.
