Like another reviewer, I too felt my toes were at the end of the sole on this shoe, but the width in a B (my normal width) was actually right on, perhaps even a bit loose.  Settling my heel back well into the shoe seemed to fix the length issue.  Surprisingly, once yuor feet get into position in these shoes, they stay on really well.  I can fully point my toe and nothing rubs in a bad way--great dancing shoes! I have skinny ankles and the strap is a bit looser than I would like even on the smallest hole.  I will probably punch a new hole or two to allow me to make it tighter, but for me that's normal in any ankle strap shoe.  These were really fun to dance in, very stable, enough grip to feel stable yet easy to turn in.  I wish they were also available in gold or flesh-tone; and would like a lower heel option as well--it's very tough to be a tall girl and find a ballroom partner who can deal with tall woman AND tall shoes! Warning: there are two measurements listed for the heel: 2" in the description, 2.5" in the product title.  It's definitely 2.5.  Super cute and danceable shoes tho!
