I wear a size 8.5 or 9 in most shoes. I took the advice of others and ordered 1 size up.  Since I have wide feet I ordered a 10.  It fits perfectly...just slightly long, but not a problem.  Wore them to my hour long Zumba class and I was able to turn and twist without any problems. The leather is very soft and I felt no hot spots in the shoe.

I used to dance in my Vibrim 5 finger shoes, which worked fine until the gym I go to changed their flooring (it's not a slick as it used to be).  So my Vibrims stuck too much to the floor and my calves and knees ached after class.

What drew me to this shoe were the reviews that stated that there is little to no support in this shoe.  It is almost as if I am dancing barefoot, which is why I liked the Vibrim shoes. So, if you don't need the arch support and like to dance barefoot, you may really like this shoe!  If you need the support of an athletic shoe, this is not the shoe for you.
