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!
