Very good quality, and durable compared to other brands I've used, but still comfy.
These dance shoes surprised me with their quality. As a practice shoe they are extremely fine, having a nicer suede sole than expected and the finish is very comfortable. The inner seams were distracting at first but were quick to break in. I wouldn't recommend using these without a good break in first or performance will be affected.However, once everything is broken into place, these shoes will be a fantastic addition to your wardrobe. The leather uppers are butter soft but apparently very tough with use, standing up to an impromptu performance on stony hard earth without even scuffing!The fit was e bit tight at first, but they were quick to break in, maybe an hour of easy use and they molded to gloves (is that the proper term really?), holding gently all around the foot without any pinch or other annoyances. By the end of my second practice while wearing them, I wanted to continue wearing them, instead of street shooes. Not a good idea, unless you live in a very urban area with lots of paved walkways. Asphalt hurts even through the soles of these shoes!I'm very impressed by these shoes, and I will definitely recommend them to any other dancers who would like my opinion.
