I bought these to dance in: swing and cha-cha-cha. They are perfect. The height (2" heal) is elegant without making me lose my balance. And the fit is exactly the same as my street shoe size, making ordering easy.

The tan leather is supple and soft and the hard leather soles of the shoes glide easily. The soles are cross-hatched on the bottom to provide a little traction, but I would not recommend wearing these as street shoes, since you will ruin them as dance shoes. I only wear mine inside on carpet or on hardwood.

If you want to use these as street shoes, you will need to take them to a cobbler as suggested by other reviewers. I think that would be a wise investment, since they are really pretty shoes that go with everything from summer skirts to party dresses, and they don't cost a fortune.

My husband even thinks these shoes are pretty and feminine, which surprised me. Like most guys, he never notices my shoes! Why oh why do women waste hundreds of dollars on Choos and Blahniks anyway? These shoes are as elegant as you will ever need, are all leather, and are reasonably priced. My husband even suggested I get a pair in black!

Happy dancing!
