I bought these to go with an flapper outfit for a part in a musical I was in. They started off a bit tough on the balls of the feet. But, by the end of the show run (15 shows) they were broke in enough to be quite a comfortable shoe.
These were always very reliable, no slips or strap issues which is necessary when u are dancing in them. And I never fell in them so that is a great plus as well!!
Did I mention these are a very adorable shoe with lots of character?
I only took off one star cause it took a bit to break them in, but I do have foot issues anyhow, so worth buying.
