In my style of dance, Chicago Steppin, this is considered a low heel... which is still a little higher than what I've been wearing, so that's one thing I have to get used to.  The ball is flexible and has a soft bottom.  This is something I also have to get used to, as I normally use hard bottom shoes, and I find that with this shoe I really have to get up on the balls of my feet to execute the turns and different movements, which really works the front of my thighs and my calves.  As with any shoe, you still have to break it in, even though I purchased a Wide shoe.

Also, the slip on clasp on the side kept falling off - it was difficult to get the buckle position just right so that it wasn't so tight I couldn't fasten it or so loose that it would fall off.

All in all, it is a good shoe that provides the support I expect, but as with any shoe, it has to be broken in.
Best of all, I ordered it one day and got it the next, so the supplier was fast and efficient.  This was a good purchase experience.
