I really wish I could give this shoe a 5 star rating, because it's really well constructed. The leather padding at the bottom/ball of the foot is just  not wide enough so when I am dancing I find the edges cutting in and being rather painful a couple of hours in. I suppose if you have a really narrow foot, then it wouldn't necessarily be a problem, but I even bought a second pair in wide hoping to aleviate the pain but it was still there. Other than that, it is a well made, solid slipper and comfortable in every other way.
