I bought these shoes in nude a few months back and I loved them so much I had to grab them in black too! I got them both in a 3 heel and they feel great. Since the heel is a little wider I feel very sturdy and balanced going through turns and spins. I ordered a half a size down and length wise they fit well. I have a very narrow foot so the toe box is a little loose. Ive only been dancing for 5 months so the looseness is okay for now, but if you have a narrow foot like me eventually it might not give enough stability as you get faster. I wish I could go down one more half size bc I bet that would be perfect width wise, but my toe would be hanging over the edge. But for starting out these are great, I feel pretty confident in them. Also I get so many compliments on them from both classmates and instructors. The nude ones are very sparkly and make your legs look really long, and the black ones, the sparkles almost have a blue shimmer to them! Very pretty! I definitely recommend these!
