Flimsy and Interesting Sizing
by: Mocha Mom - 12/03/2021 - Chesapeake,VA
Fit: Runs small
I just received these shoes for my two 13-year-old daughters. I followed the reviews and upsized. Going up 2 sizes worked well for one pair, but in another going up, 2 sizes were way too large. I need to return them, but the return fee is frustrating. I definitely wish that returns or exchanges were free. I have ordered jazz shoes before and these are not the same quality as the previous brand.

These apparently run extremely small. My daughter wears a children’s size 3 shoe and I ordered the adult size 4 and they still don’t fit. Returns are not free either. Very frustrating.

Love these jazz shoes a WHOLE lot! Very comfy and easy to break in. Nice to dance in as well. I got them in the tan color, but I bet the black looks lovely.

Good price, runs small

I was happy I read the reviews to see that this shoe runs small - which it does! The initial purchase was too small, so it was returned. My daughter wears a size 4.5-5 shoe size, we bought her the size 7 - gives her foot room to move around a little and she has room to grow. Initially we ordered a size 5.5, but she had to scrunch her toes up to even get her foot in. She says they are comfortable to wear and have been holding up well so far.

i bought these for my daughter to wear for her jazz class at high school. the skill level is not as high as for her dance classes and she doesn't need to wear them as often which is good because the quality is not as good as her other jazz shoe brand. not really sure how well these will hold up so can't speak to the durability which is why i only gave it an average rating thus far not because it fell apart quickly

When these shoes arrived the box was completely smashed. The shoes were not damaged but look very cheaply made and smelt like one of those big metal permanent markers. I will be returning these. Most poorly constructed dance shoe I have ever purchased.

I ordered these shoes for some of my students. I must say the sizes varied widely. Some were spot on and some were two sizes too small. I suspect it may have been that the parents didn't have an exact/correct shoe size for their child. Definitely get a proper foot measurement or plan for these to be too small.

I had ordered this for my Christmas Recital and I had ordered a 7.5. because that is my street shoes size. When I received it and tried it on my toes were already at the point and it was obvious that it was small. I also looked at it and it did not look fit, it was wrinkled and the sole was just not right.

Good enough
by: shadilady - 11/23/2015
Comfort:
Durability:
If you will wear this shoe occasionally it will be good enough. Size was right on par with sizing information. I found that the shoes leave black marks on some floors and some of the black wore off on my ankles. If you will be wearing these shoes several times a week I wouldn't expect them to last. But for the price you can't beat it if you will be wearing them once in a while.

poor construction
by: DanceMom531 - 10/20/2015
these shoes run very small. We needed black jazz shoes so I ordered the same size as the tan shoes she already had. These were a full inch shorter! No way she could wear them. Also, the construction and material looked really cheap. Spend a little more and buy the better shoes. I cannot recommend these at all.

Uncomfortable and Wide Shoe
by: TheCoolCat - 06/03/2015
Comfort:
Durability:
These shoes are cheaply made and do not even feel like leather. The shoe is very wide for the average foot and WILL cause foot cramps. The only positive was this shoe lasted about 7 months ( practice 5 days a week for 2 hours each practice). I would only recommend this to people with extremely wide feet or a person that doesn't mind being uncomfortable at dance class. Save your money and buy brand name jazz shoes.

Good Fit Poor Quality.
by: MrsTaylor - 03/11/2015
Comfort:
Durability:
I ordered these for a show in the beginning of January. I am a dancer as well as a Dance teacher... I probably had worn these maybe 4/5 times a week and I got a HUGE hole in my left shoe. Right where the ball padding comes together (near the big toe) the fabric came apart and completely unravelled and tore apart. I didn't even have the shoes for three weeks and my two toes stick out of the shoe. Good price if you don't dance too often, but just going to go back to the Block brand. Don't waste your money.

It is so difficult to get the correct size on these jazz shoes. My daughter had a size 4 in the same brand. They were too small for her, so I ordered a size 5. They were too tight, and they seem to fit the exact same as the size 4 pair.
