Great shoe!! Wore it for a few shoes (the best of which was newsies) so far and dance classes and these hold up great! Very happy with these! (i went for my exact size if not the slightest bit sized up)

great shoe!

It took a while to arrive, but it's really FedEx's fault. The shoe is great, I accidentally ordered two sizes up and wide, and it fits great! I have really wide feet, but even the wide shoe is quite narrow, so you gotta stuff those dogs in there. My only concern is that i don't know what to do with the hell, it's just the wood (Or plastic, whatever the meterial of the actual heel is) with screws on the bottom, and then in a small baggie there are felt tips for the shoes. Idk how to put them on or what I'm supposed to do with them. But great shoes and definitely recommend!

Fabulous!

I bought these for a show last fall and did some light dancing in them. They never snapped off and were gorgeous. They are easy to dance in because of the elastic and they are very breathable. I wore them once without tights and got a small blister, but I never had any problems wearing them with tights. They fit true to size- I wear a 7.5 and that's what I ordered, and they fit perfectly. I am using these right now in a production of Anything Goes and they are holding up wonderfully! Great quality and great price.

nice shoe for the cost

Out of 12 pair of shoes , 2 broke the snap off the buckle. The buckles can be replaced and I had no problem getting replacements. Otherwise, they are great shoes and very comfortable.

So far so good!

I've only used them once and they felt great dancing in them. Just know the straps don't have holes in which the buckle adjusts to. Instead the straps have snap ons and in order to adjust the tightness of the strap around your ankle, you must pull the strap through a buckle. Sorry if it sounds confusing but the point is that the straps aren't your average straps. Hopefully they don't snap off in future practices or on stage!

Beautiful, Comfortable, Bargain Shoes!

I desperately needed to update my character shoes and these were the perfect pair! They're affordable when compared to similar styles in other brands, (especially with the free shipping over $75!) so I decided to try them out. I wear a street size 6.5 and normally I wear a 7 in character shoes so I ordered a size 7 in these. At first I was disappointed because they were a tad bit lose, my heel was slipping out during turns, but they weren't big enough on me that I could order a half size down without them being too small. Instead, I just picked up some heel liners at the drugstore for $5 and they solved the issue beautifully! That being said, they run a tad bit large in length, but honestly the heel liners make the shoes even more comfortable so I'm not complaining.

However, even without the heel liners, these shoes are so incredibly comfortable and stable feeling, I can't wait to dance full out and perform in them! I was unsure of whether to try the suede sole or stick to leather since all my other shoes are leather, but the suede sole is life changing! I feel so in control of my turns, plus the shoes look amazing and are incredibly flattering. They really enhance your line! I went from a 1 inch leather sole character shoe to these and I find these WORLDS easier to dance in, so if you're worried about heel height, don't be! It doesn't even feel as though you're wearing a heel. Although I can't attest to the durability of the shoes yet, I completely recommend these as a pre-professional bargain shoe!

Also the customer service was amazing! I love that notifications were given through email and Facebook messenger. Messenger made it so easy to ask questions and keep track of the order. Plus the customer service account replies very quickly on Facebook!

Good shoes for the money.

My size 10 shoes arrived in perfect condition. I ordered the 10, instead of the 9.5 I measure, because I wasn't sure how the center strap would accommodate my very high arches. The 10s are a tiny bit large, but late in the day, they allow for some expected foot swelling.
4 hours of rehearsal for a musical and my feet have survived-twice! This is high praise from a girl who had surgery on right foot 3 times. I would highly recommend these shoes or fit and comfort. Time will tell how they hold up to an actual show run.

Good shoes, true to size

These shoes are true to size. I ordered a 7.5 M because I have other So danca shoes that are 7.5 and fit me well, but I usually wear 6.5 or 7, and in this purchase the 7.5 was to big. I'm so sad of the lack of consistency within the brand. Delivery was really fast. I'm not sure if I can return them for a 7, but I will try.

Nilsa, You most certainly can return. Our customer service team has reached out to you to help with your return/exchange authorization. Happy Dancing!

good outlooko

I am super excited to use these for the 3 shows i am doing this summer- I am having the buckle replaced because I feel that it will ruin the strap with the current mechanism- wasn't pictured

Danielle, Thank you for taking the time out to review. We are so happy that you love your character shoes! Happy Dancing from DWC!!

Reliable Shoes

I have been using these shoes for a long time. They don’t have split soles but they are very sturdy and I love the rubber of the bottom for traction. Definitely recommend.

Good shoes, bad buckle

I love these shoes, but I took them to a cobbler to have the buckle replaced right away. If you can't tell its sort of a pull through strap, with no actual buckle holes which is hard to put on and not really ever super secure. Also sort of hurts the strap.
