Character shoes

Bought same as street shoe size and fit great!

Liked them from day 1

Loved the shoes. They were comfortable from the first day out of the box. I bought 1/2 size larger than my street shoe. It doesn't have as much ankle support as a traditional character show. However, they still were easy to dance in.

Run small

After reading reviews I bought a whole size up and wide. I’m a 10 M and I bought 11 W. They are still too small. Had to use a shoe stretcher to make the toe area big enough to slip on. More of a pointed toe than the pictures show so it is very uncomfortable and squish your toes together. Skip these and buy something with a rounder toe. I was really excited about these but they just don’t work.

Bad bad fit

I ordered 7 1/2 W. The shoes run very small so I would have needed an 8 1/2, but beyond that, the width was a joke. I have narrow fitting medium width shoes that are wider than these “wides”. I chose this brand because you offered wide sizes. I was very disappointed to learn that you don’t...really.

Run Small

They are nice, but they run small. Best to go up a half size or full size.

Good on the purchase

Although the shoes were on back order, we were promised that the T-strap character shoes would arrive in a few weeks. The shoes did arrive 5 weeks later and my daughter was thrilled to have them. She loves how the shoes fit, and thank you for making Good on the purchase!

Great Character Shoe

I am a veteran musical theater gal and have a show coming up that required neutral-colored character shoes. After quite a bit of research and review reading, I found these and am very happy with the size, color, look and fit. They are a little more putty (brownish) in color than I wanted, but not a deal breaker. I ordered sizing according to my standard heel size and they fit just right. A nice surprise was that these shoes have a snap on the buckle and since I have several quick costume changes, this feature is a real life saver! One note however, is that I did have to have rubber soles put not them, as I was one fan kick away from a broken ankle slipping on the stage. Again, a quick trip to my local shoe guy and I was good to go! Definitely recommend for the price too.

Great character shoe!

I've worn multiple brands of character shoes and never been very happy with them. They were all too tight, difficult to break in, easily scuffed, etc. I wanted to get LaDuca's since they're so highly recommended, but I simply couldn't afford them. This shoe was recommended to me as a high-quality less-expensive alternative to LaDuca's. I love them! I've worn them through several rehearsals in the past few days, and I have no complaints so far. They're easily the most comfortable character shoes I've had. My first pair is tan, and I'm planning to buy another pair in black soon. Love them!

Mary,
This is one of our favorites too! They are also very attractive looking on. We are so glad that you love them. Thank you for reviewing. Happy Dancing from DWC!!

Best Character Shoe!

I've had a lot of different brands, capezio, theatricals, etc, and I found out about this shoe on google, and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad I did! The shoe forms to the foot and is super comfortable, all while making the foot look amazing! Definitely will purchase again!

Davina, Thank you for your review! We are so happy that you love you character shoes. Happy Dancing from DWC!!

Great shoe!

I love this shoe! I have a pair of Bloch flex t-strap and after just a couple wears they were junk. The company wouldn't make good on their defective product so when I needed black shoes, I certainly wasn't buying from Bloch. These are much higher quality and look better to. I love the quick release saps. They were also about $10 less and shipped very fast!

Adorable and comfortable

These character shoes are really comfortable and adorable. I wear a size 8 in street shoes, and I wear a size 8 in these shoes as well. They have a snug fit, just as they should, and I expect they will stretch a bit as I wear them in. Once the buckle is adjusted, they are really quick to get on and off with just a snap. I would definitely recommend these to a friend.
Be careful when ordering that you are getting the sole you want. I first ordered the suede soles on accident and had to send them back as I prefer a leather sole.

Fine shoe, not what I was looking for

I was hoping to find more bend in the arch from this shoe since it is split-soled, but that was not the case. The shank is like any standard character shoe, but without the side support.
