I thought they were leather - I didnt read the description well enough. They are cute though, so I kept them.

Great Quality, Affordable Price!! I bought the Leo Airabesque ballet slipper to use for prom as an alternative to uncomfortable heels and I have to say I was very pleased with their look, fit, and comfort. The only negative thing I saw about them was that the split sole kind of felt like it was jabbing into the bottoms of my feet (not really bad though). Overall, I was very happy with them!

Very Comfortable Shoe - I really like this shoe, however my only negative is that there is a bit to much gapping on both side of my arch during plie's and such. I have a wider foot so I chose to get the Airabesque in a wide, but definately didn't need it. Otherwise I would strongly reccommend this shoe, but might want to size down 1 or 1/2 size.

Awesome! My feet felt perfect right after I put these on! The sizing was good too! I like the little air pads. My jumps seemed to improve right away!

The shoe is great quality and looks good. I'm sure it will stretch, but I wonder if I should have gotten a half size larger.

Leo's Airabesque Ballet Shoe - The shoes were puchased for my daughter. She commented that there were very comfortable, especially the arch support.

Taking a chance - I usually buy Bloch's Pro Lite II. So trying the Leo Airabesque was a leap of faith so to speak. They were less than the Blochs so I thought I'd give them a try. The Leo is a good functional slipper. The soft instep allows a good point and a nice looking arch. The mesh sock liner is a little slippery compared to the suede liner in the Blochs. Although the Blochs are still the better slipper, I think the Leo Airabesque are a good practice slipper for the price.

Great Ballet Shoe - My daughter is the dancer in the family and she has seen this shoe offered in dance books. She has always wanted to try it. When I saw it offered on Zappos.com I immediately called my daughter for her size and ordered them. They fit perfectly and she is thrilled with them. Thanks Zappos.
