Great for practicing dancing at home
I had to replace my old SwayD sneaker for practicing at home because that 3-year-old sneaker started expanding. I read many reviews before placing the order. Reviews are helpful. My shoe size is 6.5 to 7. Ordered size 7. So far, I like these shoes. On Day 1, the shoes were really tight as expected. I danced 30 minutes in these shoes and switched to my old dance shoes. Day 2 or 3, I heard my toes were rebelliously demanding its room, which felt amusing. I did some stretching motion of my toes inside these shoes. On that day, somehow, I was able to dance in these shoes longer like 1 hour, then switched to my old shoes. Day by day, I became comfortable in these shoes. On the 5th day, I no longer had to change shoes. I like the look of these shoes. I put some bling on them. It is obvious to me that the sole of the toe box will need resoling within a month. No problem. I'm used to doing such maintenance. These shoes are good for clean smooth floor. Some dance floors are not cleaned or depending the floor, these shoes will wear and tear quickly. I bought these shoes only for home practice.Although these shoes were really tight first, somehow I was able to put in an insole. I needed cushion on the toe box.Unlike stated by other reviews, the heel does not bother me. Besides, the heel height of these shoes is close to zero.Because it is clear that the maintenance on the sole of the tow box is coming soon, my review is 4 instead of 5. Durability issue. Other than that, I like these shoes.

Perfect
These jazz shoes are the best there are. My son loves them. He has been a dancer for 8 years and these are his favorite to use. They form to the foot and provide stability yet comfort which is very important to a competitive dancer. My only complaint is man do they stink after wearing for hours at a time!

LOVE! And some answers to questions you didn't know you needed to ask.
I've been a dance instructor/studio owner since 1993. I've been wearing these for years and I love them! They fit perfectly the way I want them to fit. I like my dance shoes tight out of the box because, if they are of any quality, they will stretch to fit my foot which is EXACTLY what I want. I can go a couple of classes with some discomfort until they break in, but with these it's very minimal. The upper molds to my foot like a glove after just a few classes. Every part of the shoe that touches your skin is padded in some way. The neoprene keeps them from stretching permanently to be too long. The last thing I want in a dance shoe is extra space: this is where sliding around in them can cause blistering and extra material at the toe can get in the way and trip me (believe me, I don't need help tripping!). The darts accent the arch so beautifully! Even my dancers whose point isn't as strong have pretty feet in these.So answering some questions that have been asked:What size should I buy?Do you like your dance shoes to fit snug or loose and what do you wear them for? I like a tight fit so I wear an 8.5 in athletic shoes and buy these in 8.5. I'm actually a 9 in dress shoes, heels, or boots, but these jazz shoes eventually mold to my foot so the 8.5 is perfect and allows for some eventual give to my wide feet (at the metatarsals). At that size my toes hit the end of the shoe which is what I personally want. If you like room and you (or your child) is taking maybe 2 recreational classes a week then you could probably just stick with the usual street shoe size. If you (or your child) is competing and taking several hours of classes per week, it would be best to talk to the instructor about what they prefer.How long do these last?Again, it depends on what you need them for. My senior competition team (around 10-12 competitions per year) can go through a few pair per dance season. That's normal with ANY dance shoe that takes heavy wear. However, my recreational classes can make it the entire year without having to buy a second pair unless they just outgrow them. They do have a more sturdy pad on the ball of the foot than other jazz shoes which is the place I find that most other shoes fail first. With these it's usually the big toe busting through the top but by then we've gotten more than enough wear from them.Do they have a lot of support?No, but that's not what dance shoes are for. Dancers need strong feet and too much support can keep them from developing that strength. Think of jazz shoes as a good second protective skin. They aren't street shoes and are meant for wear only on dance surfaces. So they can't be compared easily to street shoes in that way.There isn't a perfect one-size-fits-all for styles and brands of dance shoes. You just have to find the right one for your foot and the way in which you dance. But I find that these tick a lot of boxes for our students and are DEFINITELY my go-to jazz shoe!

Awesome Jazz shoe
These are amazing Jazz shows there isn’t any support really but that’s normal. I wore these for 2 months every day for at least 4 hours and they are still basically new! I love them and they are by far the most comfortable jazz shoe I have tried ( and frankly I don’t find jazz shoes very comfortable )

My favorite Jazz Shoes
I like to dance barefoot. However, that is not always the best idea. I also like to wear one pair of dance shoes for the night while teaching dance classes between Ballet, Jazz & Technique. These serve me well especially because there is also no raised heel. The bit of heel is so minute that it is not even noticed and I feel as comfortable dancing in these as I do barefoot.

Worked great!
I bought these for my daughter's first school theater performance.She had no complaints at all. She reported that they are very comfortable to wear, easy to put on and take off, and worked perfectly!They are fairly delicately made. Not that they fall apart, but that they should Only be used on stage. Wear street shoes to your event and change there. Her's have lasted, but I think they wouldn't last a day if worn as a normal shoe.We will definitely buy this brand as her feet grow.

Decent shoes considering the price.
I have been wearing them often over the last two months, and they have already started to wear out on the top of the toe as they just fit. They have also started to come apart a tiny bit at one of the seams. Additionally they kind of come to a little bit of an angle near the big toe, making it look a little like I am perpetually pigeon-toed.I do find them to become uncomfortable after a few hours as the heel portion feels like it's digging into the bottom of my foot a bit, though I am rather flat-footed and have somewhere between and medium and wide foot.Overall the shoes aren't bad for the price, but I probably wouldn't repurchase them.

Even smaller than predicted
I like the quality and feel of these shoes but although I ordered a full size above my normal, they were way too short and it felt like my big toe would break through very quickly. They were easily returned.

Fit is perfect, Unfortunately there is a small stitching hole at bottom upon opening package
The fit feels excellent - snug and supportive feeling - My feet are size 9, borderline narrow but I wear regular shoes typically. I ordered size 9 M and I feel it's the perfect fit. Unfortunately the stitching at the bottom was not secure so this pair has a small stitching hole at the bottom - so that's a disappointing hassle and too bad they aren't stitched better as they are a fair price! So that affects my rating - Hopefully these have some longevity once I start using and performing in them. Otherwise I love them.
