I love these slippers, they are super cute and I get so many compliments on them!  I don't dance, I wear them for trapeze, but I wear them once a week and they have lasted over a year and they are just starting to get some wear on the toes (the gold is wearing off where my big toe rubs against the shoe - should be noted that this happens in a lot of my shoes and socks, more so than I think is normal).

They fit as described (I wear a 7.5 or 8 and I bought a 7.5) and I like that the elastic came pre-sewn.
