Perfect for Homecoming/Prom - Super shoe for school dances, (especially when we all know they'll just suffer in pain and ditch the other "toe crunchers" they usually wear, just as soon as they can. (Probably after spending much for them too-heck why buy something that's going to be covered up by a long gown anyway). Daughter said she loved her "real" ballet shoes, (meaning they weren't slippers that just looked like ballet shoes), and was comfy all night. "Honey, if your feet don't feel good, then nothin's goin' to feel good".

REAL BALLET FLATS - If you like the ballet flat look, do yourself a favor a buy real ballet shoes. Other shoe makers are making mocs of ballet shoes, none of which come slose to the comfrot of the real thing. The very soft flexible feel is amazing. I have tried many of the shoe brands and I recently bought the real thing and you couldn't pry them off of my feet. They fit form fitting and after a few days comform perfectly to shape of your foot. Your toes will litterally be dancing with joy. I love mine so much that I have worn them everyday since they arrived. They are soooo comfy and go straight from your favorite shoe to your favorite house slipper. Treat yourself! your tootsies will thank you.

Ballet shoes are all the rage - I totally agree with other reviewers here. Get the real deal and get some real ballet shoes. I ues mine for house slippers and on dry days outside. OK they aren't designed for outdoor use and will wear eventually but the look is fantastic, they feel so comfy and be prepared for a very positive response from people admiring your shoes.

Comfort! If you order the right size, these shoes are verry comfortable. I can only tell you that, however, from the standpoint of someone using them as street shoes. They're very classy and basic looking, and I would reccomend them to anyone who would otherwise buy ballet-style knockoff flats. I wear these things all the time, even in the house.

Ordering the correct size - For years I had worn Capezio ballet shoes as casual flats. I was happy to see Zapppos carried them. However, in the ordering information it said to order two sizes smaller than street size, which I did. They did not fit. I then ordered a size 9 which I used to wear-they did not fit either. I finally got a size ten and they are perfect. The free return shipping is great! Thank you.

Great ballet shoe for everything--including ballet!!! I bought these shoes so I could comfortably move around on the Dance Dance Revolution pad, and have found myself wearing them whenever I am in the house. Very comfortable, light, mold to fit your feet. These are great if you are looking for a comfortable flat to wear at home, or at dance! I ordered mine 1/2 size smaller than my shoe size, and they fit perfectly after 2 wearings.

Versatile shoe - I ordered a half size smaller than my regular shoe size (instead of the reccomended full size smaller) and they fit. These are the perfect comfortable, flat shoes I need for my wedding. Zappos free shipping is amazing, I received my shoes the next day!
Brands I'd also recommend: Anything from Zappos!

Debbue
from Alexandria Bought for my wedding -
I bought this shoe for my wedding after reading the reviews online. The shoe feels weird, I guess because I never took ballet:). It feels like my toes are hanging over the shoe at the front, but they are really not, its just that the bottom support of the shoe ends about 1/2 inch before my foot does. All in all I think that I will enjoy them for my wedding, and the price cant be beat for wedding shoes these days. I dont think that I will wear them after though. DO buy a size LARGER than you normally wear:)

Too large - I ordered a 7.5 which is my street show size, and these did not fit at all. They are soft and comfy but I won't be able to dance in them or even wear them :-(

Ballet Shoes - I have taken dance for about 8 years, and I am on competition team too, so I know how ballet shoes are supposed to feel. At my studio, no one even wears these shoes anymore, because it is impossible to fully point your foot. These shoes were incredibly uncomfortable too! I recommend the split sole shoes!

It worked for me... I used this shoe as part of my costume for a production of Romeo and Juliet. This was the actual play rather than the ballet, so I cannot comment on its suitability for serious dancing.

Not for ballet only - These are very comfortable shoes that mold to your feet. They are great for walking around airports. They look great with pants or skirts. I love them.
Brands I'd also recommend: Any type of flat ballet shoe that are in style now.

Comfy and sexy! I love these ballet slippers! I bought them as an alternative to fake ballet flats and I'm so glad I did. I ordered 1 size smaller than my street shoe size. They were a bit tight at first but then conformed to the shape of my foot, and now they are incredibly comfortable, and look fantastic. I know these shoes are meant for the dance floor, and will wear out prematurely when worn on the street, but I'll just buy another pair. They are soooo comfortable, soft and flexible. I wear them as driving shoes and for times when I don't have to walk too far, but one thing I discovered is that if you order a slightly larger size and use Dr. Scholls-type insoles, you can walk around in them all day long. I think they look sexy with capris, and I even wore them with cutoff jeans this summer. It's fun to pad around in the mall, stand in line, and point my toes. I get looks of admiration (and very favorable comments, too), and they feel sooo good on my feet!
