Decent shoe, started to breakdown after about 3 months of use (3-4 times a week for about 45 mins).

I'm a perfect 10 - no, really. I wear a 10 in every shoe brand I've ever tried. These are a little small - I can still wear them and hopefully they will stretch some. Otherwise, they are fairly lightweight and will serve the purpose.

Unlike the first pair that I had to return. This pair which is a size 12 per their markings fits very well. Not sure where they go wrong, but if you wear a 10 or larger, you probably should order the next size up

i did not have shoes until i was 12, so my feet are very wide. actual size, if available, is 7 1/2 super extra wide. my best fitting shoe is a size 8, 6e. so, i was skeptical about the fit. i ordered a size 9, and they fit. the leather, or whatever is on top is very supple, and conforms. i will only be dancing on these, so i wear regular shoes, and put these on when we get there. anyone who dances on wood floors needs the "chrome soles(suede)". good deal for the price. i have only used these once, and they did very well

I got these for my fiance since the shoes he was wearing he tends to clomp down a bit with since they are pretty heavy shoes, hoping to give him that lighter feel during the rumba that we recently learned.His initial reaction was how odd they felt because they are so light.After giving them a quick spin he said they feel like they would glide as needed on the dance floor reducing some of the heavy step (That's not quite the correct description but if you've tried to dance in a tennis shoe for example perhaps you know what I mean)They are extremely lightweight which will take some getting used to, but that's not the shoes fault.All in all they seem to be exactly what they say they are, for the quality you would expect at this price point.The fit (after removing the packing) seemed to be spot on.I'm thrilled to give them a go with this price point. If he finds they work well for dancing we may look at a shoe without the breathing holes which makes them just a bit noticeable.

I am a bronze and silver level amateur competitor. The first concern I had was the lack of support on the forward part of the shoe. This turned out to be an advantage - much better floor feel! I am still waiting to see how the soles last - I use a suede brush to get the floor dust out - not the stiffer dance brush - but I dance somewhere around 10 hours a week and they are holding up fine after 2 months. I will repost when I need to re-sole them (with Freed soles, of course) - but for the cost, I'd say they have repaid the investment. Very comfortable, very good floor feel, very good value, IMHO. NOTE! - these have a 1" heel - not really for serious latin dancers, but perfect for smooth and standard - Waltz, Quickstep, Foxtrot, Tango, and (if I were quick enough) Viennese Waltz.

Gotta say, I was unsure when the shoes arrived in a plastic bag instead of a box. Had to lace them, and the shoes were a bit puckered and unformed. Then I wore them. They fit perfectly to size, are very lightweight and actually look good! I have paid over $100 for ballroom shoes before, and for $30 these are not as durable, but I can afford 3 of these for every one pair of the "nicer" shoes. For the price these are a great value and look good. My dancing is social dancing and lessons, not performance or competition, and these are a great buy for my purposes! Finally, they arrived a day earlier than promised! Very pleased so far.

I was scared to buy dance shoes off amazon, because sometimes shoes don't fit right. I was in a bind and needed them for a production that I'm currently in the middle of a run of. I was SO happy with these! They fit perfectly, the laces are on the shorter side but still work. They easily slip in and out of costumes for my fast changes and really give me great support while doing larger dance numbers like 'The Juggernaut' and 'Let Me Drown'. Great price, great look, and great quality!
