I was sooo excited when I heard about these shoes. I read TONS of reviews and watched a couple of youtube vids - I even got a pair for my partner (in the coral color). I have been taking alot more dance classes at the gym and thought I could get these shoes to spice things up. I have a pair of Reebok YourFlex in a 8.5 and they fit good. Reebok Yourflex are light, comfortable and great for the gym but the pair I have are not the coolest looking. I ordered a 8.5 in the Reebok Dance UR Lead Mids. When I got them, I noticed that they looked really big. I tried them on and felt I had sooo much room in the shoe. They were my size but ran big. They are not snug at all even with the laces tied. I wore them for my dance class and they were horrible. Since they were so big, they rubbed up against the back of my legs causing 2 rug burns. I used the straps, but that didn't help because there were so much room in the top area of the shoe. I will admit they are very comfortable for just walking and look really cool, but not a dance shoe. I have a pair of Nike Air Forces which are high tops. I have dance to House music with heavy footwork in the Nikes and never gotten rug burns on the back of my legs. The Nikes are snug so you don't have to lace them completely for them to stay on your feet and no straps are needed.

I am very disappointed in Reebok. The only cool things are these shoes is the colors.
