Item arrived as described, however the shoe was too small for my 11 year old daughter. I ordered a half size larger than regular street shoe as several reviews had mentioned and the shoes were still very small. She wears a size 8.5 to 9 street shoe so I ordered a size 9.5. This is the first pair of jazz shoes I have ever purchased so not sure how they compare to other products. I have returned this shoe and purchased Capezio Women's CP01 V Jazz Low Shoe,Black,10 W instead. The new product has not arrived so I am unable to compare.
