The girls at the pole studio got me these shoes for my bridal shower and I LOVE THEM! The ankle strap makes it perfect for dancing (so you don't fling your shoes off in spins!) They come with their own individual bags which I appreciate - I don't lose sequins when I transport them from home to the studio.

These do run incredibly small. I'm about a 10.5, the girls bought 11's and they're definitely snug. I didn't want to size up because I thought they would be too loose, so I'm just trying to break them in and stretch them out. If they made an 11.5 I would have traded up a size.

Definitely low-shedders. I was concerned they would start dropping sequins everywhere - not the case! They're not "out on the town" shoes - they are very tall and I kind of hobble around a bit (also- tallest shoes I've ever owned). Perfect for pole, though! Tons of compliments from the other girls (and fellas!) at the dance studio. Look forward to fully breaking them in so they're a bit more comfortable.
