I got the Jr. Footlight Character Shoe to begin ballroom dance lessons. The dance studio requires suede bottom shoes be used on their parquet floor, and these were about the only pair I could find with a low enough heel, in my size, and in my price range. While they have suede front soles, the heels are hard plastic, requiring me to find the correct type of suede in black, cut it to fit the heels and glue it with a special type of cement. This cost more money, time, and effort.
Additionally, it's taking a long time to break them in, as they still pinch in the toes. They are very flexible and have a low enough heel to allow me to execute the dance moves well. Their classic style in black goes with most of my outfits. The materials don't feel really durable but will hopefully see me through the classes.
