I wore these shoes over a pair of tights for a flying trapeze class, and they were excellent. They felt so comfortable and secure on my feet. I usually wear an 8.5 but I chose to buy an 8 because I wanted them to fit snug and secure.

One of the seams by the toe sticks out a little bit, it almost looks like there is a hole, but the stitching is just slightly off. It doesn't affect the fit, but it looks a little weird. Also, the leather is very thin (as you would expect) so it scuffs easily and wears down to show the grey part under the top layer of the leather.

Overall, a great purchase, and even though the quality could be better, for this price it's perfect.
