I got these for my son and he said that they are very comfy.  Like some of the other reviews said, they do run small.  I ordered them a half size bigger than his normal shoe size, but they are still pretty small.  I'm unsure if he will be able to wear them next year if he still does ballet, but I would order another pair of these if he needed a bigger size.  They seem to be made well and are not overly girly so they are appropriate for a little boy ballet dancer.
