Bought these for boys to practice in before they get their drag heels. A really beautiful shoe with reinforced heels and pretty proportions. The boys are whinging mightily, as expected! Of the 6 pair currently in use, one came unglued from the sole early in to rehearsal. They were very kind to replace them for me quickly! I think SoDanca has an issue with quality control because I've had shoes that I have used for multiple month long dance shows, and I've had shoes that died after a week of rehearsal. Thankfully, DWC has my back!
