My daughter was complaining that she didn't like her tap dance class because her feet hurt. I bought these shoes and now she prefers dance class over ballet. What a difference a good shoe makes! She performed her dance recital in these shoes and it was a great performance. These shoes come in the wide sizes and that was the main reason why I bought them. But my daughter loves them and I will buy her some new tap dance shoes when school (and dance class) start up again. I am sold on these Capezio Tap Dance Shoes.
