Since my daughter started dance over a year ago I have tried 3 different ballet shoes (4 if you count the Danskin slippers we bought until her actual ballet shoes came in) Her first shoes were the Bloch Bunnyhops, those were amazing. They have more of a bubblegum pink than the Capezios which are genuine "ballet pink" which is more of a peachy hue. These Capezio Daisy's were her 2nd real pair of ballet shoes. For the price, they're great. They fit about right on for us. They're your standard, nice, ballet shoes. The daisies on the inside of the shoe are cute for girly girls. The strap on the top is wide and I'd assume its more comfortable. They have a split sole, which helps with flexability. The only thing that annoyed me? The drawstring is so long and they come undone and I have to double tie them. So.....now that she has grown out of her Daisy's, her new shoes are the Capezio Love Flat. They don't have the drawstring ties on the front. They have some mesh on the bottom though so don't look as "clasical" as the Daisy's. My verdict is that these Capezio Daisy ballet shoes are the most standard and classic shoes that you can get for your daughter. If you like more of the classic ballerina look, go with these.
