This was the first dance shoe I ever bought. I bought it half a size larger than my 'street shoe' size, and it fit very well.

The suede sole is simply suede glued to the botton of a regular hard sole. I didn't realize that. I was afraid there wouldn't be any support, but this is just like a regular canvas pump with a strip of suede (in the shape of the shoe bottom) glued to the bottom of the shoe.

It is not perfectly balanced, in that when I stand in it, My feet rock forward a bit, causing the heel to come off the floor ever so slightly.  When i rock back to make the heel flat, the toe comes up. The heel is very slippery, having a smooth bottom and no tread.

I ordered the wide width since I have a very wide foot. To me it looks like a "regular" sized shoe or medium width, but it fit ok.

The black canvas upper seems to pick up every fleck of dust and other stuff, and it is hard to brush off. I guess this is because the canvas is a bit rougher. Maybe spraying it with some sort of protectant will help?

The pink elastic band is sort of an eye sore. It would be nice if there were options there. I thought about cutting off the elastic band, but I really need it to help keep the shoe on when doing dance moves. A nude color strap would be preferable.

There are clear stretchy bands for keeping hats on heads for dance routines that look practically invisible.  Why can't they do that for dance shoes too, I wonder?
