Wow! Just received these dance shoes. EXACTLY what I was looking for.  Wanting a pair of shoes that my feet could work and feel the floor, but needing a heel. Character shoes were too stiff, my jazz shoes, not quite the look. These look like street shoes, but feel like ballet slippers on. The price is so affordable. I wear 8 1/2, purchased  8 1/2 they fit. Perfect. Thank you.
