Sturdy and Wonderful!

A fabulous and sturdy shoe! We use these for our theatre dance classes and they are definitely a great-quality shoe!

Sizes too Small

I have a big foot for a woman, size 12W. I purchased a 12.5 wide shoe which was still too small. I don't know why dance companies believe all people who dance have small feet...very frustrating. At least this store sold a wide shoe. many do not. however, this was still too narrow.

Great Dance Shoe

I bought this dance shoe for my daughter who performs in theater. She says the shoe is very comfortable and she didn't have any issues during her performance.

Narrow/Highly Tapered Toe Box

I wear a size 6.5/7. I ordered these shoes in a 7.5 wide and the toe box is too narrow and tapered. I have an athletic foot with a narrow heel, high arch, and five toes that don’t taper excessively. Super disappointed that these don’t fit. Foot health is critical if you want to keep dancing and moving. I wish shoe companies made shoes that didn’t damage our feet. I am trying the size 8 and hoping it isn’t too long. I recently found a pair of open toe salsa shoes with adjustable straps. I wish this wasn’t necessary and that there were better closed toe shoe options.

Best wedding shoe ever!

I wore these shoes for 10 hours during a wedding I attended last weekend. I sized up one size from my street size and they fit perfectly. So perfectly, in fact, that I didn't even have to break them in! I had bought insoles for them originally, but didn't wind up needing them because they already fit nicely AND even had built-in arch support. I didn't even bother to wear nylons or tights with them--and still didn't get any blisters, save a tiny pinpoint rub on one ankle.

The leather bottoms were perfect. We were dancing on concrete (I know, so sad for my new shoes!), but I was still able to pivot and twirl with ease. My hubby and I dance east coat swing, and these shoes were just right: a sturdy heel for sure-footedness, secure ankle strap, and just the right height. The faux leather shoe body material is sturdy too: not a single scuff! Not to mention: they were super cute, and I got compliments on them all day.

I was surprised at how comfortable they were. My feet didn't hurt at all until about the last 30 minutes of the night--but that was long after we had danced the night away. All in all, a great dance shoe. Will definitely be buying this brand again.

Good value, perfect for performances

I'm in a women's a capella chorus, and we need to all have matching, Mary Jane-style shoes for performances. These are perfect, they look very nice, and they're a good value. They do run a bit small, but you can get a size up to 13 wide, which made me -- and my big feet -- very happy. The shoes arrived on my doorstep exactly as promised. I'll be glad to recommend DancewearCorner.com to anyone who asks.

Great quality, but wide doesn't mean wide

Great quality shoe! I can be between a 9 and 9.5 but need a wide street shoe. These came in wide so I tried both a 9w and a 9.5w. The 9.5 fit length wise but their wide was more like a medium. Well, my toes started to go numb just while I was sitting with them on! These will be returned as I found a different shoe - Capezio 650 - that is a true wide.

Perfect transaction

Lightning fast shipping. A good quality Dance shoe at a good price thank you very much. Looking forward to visiting your store in Florida.

Very uncomfortable

Customer service was excellent but that’s now what I’m reviewing here. The shoe itself is about as flexible as a brick. There is no flex in the sole so consequently very difficult to dance in. I tried them in and they felt okay but found I could not dance in them without looking like a cart horse and throwing my back out. Invest a little more and go for a flexible sole

Love this pair!

I used to wear CH50 of the same size (6w), and this new pair exceeds my expectation. Fit is perfect, exactly same as CH50, even for my thicker-than-average feet. The heels feel stable, and I love how they make my legs and rest of my body feel (not exaggerating). On my first dance I totally forgot they were new shoes. I am considering buying another pair for non-dance purposes.
Customer service was great as well. Glad to use the Chat function before making the final choice. Thank you!

Perfect

I ordered this shoe a 1/2 size bigger, and in Wide to accommodate my bunions. They have just the right fit. I was so pleased that I ordered another pair in a different color. Delivery was quick and I was given apply a discount to the second pair.

Fast

Delivery was very quick and shipping updates great. Shoes are good quality, but the strap is very short-even on the last notch it is very tight in my daughter.

I was thrilled at not only price but the speed my daughters dance shoes arrived! Wide width charecter shoes amen!!! Ill never order from any where else!

Chistina, We are so happy to hear that your daughter loves her new character shoes and that you were able to find exactly what she needs at your favorite price. Happy Dancing from DWC!

Great shoe - order 1 size up

We ordered 9.5 - my daughter usually wears 8-8.5. Shoe fits great - says it's very comfortable. Fast shipping too!

So glad they worked out for you and she liked them!

Happy Dancing!

One or two problems

The shoes are great BUT there is one problem. The ankle straps are waaaaaaay too short. By like 3 inches. I had to take them to a shoe repair place and have them replaced and reinforced and they seemed to run a bit small.

Terry, thank you so much for your review. Sorry to hear that the strap wasn't long enough for you. We are so happy with your insight as it will help others very much in determining their buy. Happy Dancing from DWC!!

Comfortable!

Very comfortable compared to Capezio's character shoe. I ordered a half size bigger than street shoe and fits perfectly. The clasp is a little hard to do, but will get easier with wear. Thanks!

Meredith, thank you for taking the time out to review. We are so happy that you found your character shoes comfortable! Happy Dancing from DWC!!

Love them!

I adore my So Danca character shoes! I battled sore feet for years with another brand of character shoe until the day my tan ones met an untimely end via the sharp teeth of a naughty puppy. I replaced them with So Dancas and I've been obsessed ever since! No more do my feet scream at me after a long rehearsal or after a weekend of performances. I'm already planning on replacing my other pairs!

I'm typically an 8 1/2 and the 9s fit me great.
