I can't even tell you for sure how the shoes actually fit, because the smell was so horrible that I took the shoes off as soon as I put them on.  The odor was strong and noxious, the worst I have ever smelled (and I've purchased other products made in China that had a bad chemical smell).  Even after I put the shoes back in the box and put the box in another part of the house, the smell lingered.  I had to turn on my air purifier.  The shoes felt stiff...wouldn't be good for ballroom.  And the soles had some spots that looked worn.
