These shoes are just great -- buy a size larger than street. So glad to find good dancing shoes in a wide width, and an appearance the envy of my dancing compatriots.

Attractive shoe to look at. Maybe I'm persnickety with weird feet, but I found these shoes very uncomfortable. They didn't fit my feet well, the heels had no cushioning and there was an exposed nail that held the heel pad in place.

The shoe is running 1 whole size smaller than what is advertised. I ordered a 10.5 and wear a 10 and it is still too small in the toe area.

Sending them back - I ordered these shoes for work. I have worn character shoes for work for years and thought this style would be nice to try. I ordered a half size larger than my regular size and that was perfect. I also ordered the wide which I need and that was perfect as well. However, the heel cup of the shoe is hard and comes up too high and digs into the back of my ankle. Also, the placement of the strap digs into the bones on the side of my foot on the strap origination side not the buckle side. This shoe hurt my foot just trying it on. It's going back.
I'd also recommend: Capezio, SoDanca

Perfect for dance - These are so comfortable you almost (almost) forget they're on your feet. I've stood/danced/done blocking in these in rehearsals for over 3 hours and still been comfortable. I ordered them in my regular size (7 m) and they fit just fine. THANKS ZAPPOS!
I'd also recommend: more Capezios!

I love these shoes! I was very skeptical at first because there were some negative reviews, but I am so happy that I did purchase them. Some of the reviews stated that there was a need to size up. You do not need to size up! At first they are a bit snug, but once you break them in they are perfect. The shoe is pretty good quality and my director loves them! I recommend them to all!
