Love the sound of these taps! This is a great little tap shoe...soft, comfy and the tone of the taps is wonderful. My only regret is that I ordered my street size and I can see where 1 size or a half size bigger would last longer. Next year of class I will do that.

Great fit, great sound - I love these tap shoes. They are SO comfortable and make a wonderful sound. I normally wear a lady’s 6.5W. I ordered a 6.5W and it fit perfectly. I don't think you could go wrong with this shoe.

Order a half size up! In browsing dance shoes online, I saw that a lot of dance shoes have special instructions for sizing, even here on Zappos.com. I saw these on a few other sites as saying "Order one half size up from street shoe" so I did (even though Zappos didn't tell me to), and they fit perfectly. I normally wear a 10 and these 10.5's are perfect. I have other Leo's that I've had to get a half size down, so research your dance shoes before you order them. The nice thing about Zappos though is if you're not sure, you return them for free, so you're not gambling with shipping costs. Thank you Zappos.com, you're super!

Good shoe--men's sizing still a bit off - I'm a beginning tapper, and selected this shoe based on its looks and reviews. As far as looks are concerned, make sure you understand it is a leather shoe, and very pliable, so it won't look as "clean" as the picture may indicate. Per the instructions I ordered the shoe 1 1/2 sizes larger than my street shoe--normally I wear a 9 or 9 1/2, so I ordered an 11. The shoe definitely feels a bit tight, although I found the width to be perfect. It has stretched a bit over time, so it's comfortable, but I still wish it were a bit longer. That said, I've never bought tap (or dance) shoes before, and the "fit" may be tighter than I'm used to. Also, after about a week one of the taps was already a bit loose, but it was easy enough to tighten it with a small Phillips screwdriver (smaller than a standard size). Overall, I like this shoe, and it certainly looks better than I tap.
