I love these shoes!!!
These shoes are the best I've ever tried. I used to wear only split sole ballet slippers and would have never even dreamed about wearing a full sole, but I needed black slippers (I didn't get them from here) for my Halloween costume one year and could only find full sole (Dansofts) so i had to buy them. Then on Halloween, wouldn't you know it, it rained and I couldn't wear them. At the time I was very mad, but now I'm glad I didn't get wear them because they would've beed ruined, but now I can wear them now for dancing. They last a long time and mould to your foot fast. If mine get dirty or dusty on the bottom (or top) I wipe it off with a damp, but not too damp paper towel and they look almost new. Also, the full sole seems to make you work slightly harder to arch your foot to it's full potential and keeps me from knuckling my toes. Now that I've tried these I'm never going back to split sole. I wouldn't even switch shoe models - even if they looked and performed very similiar or identically. I like to stick with what I know, and now this is what I know. The only downside is that on occassion the shoe will form a small "bubble" under the ball of you foot while pointing. This can be fixed by simply taking your finger and pushing the "bubble" against you foot (that's still pointing). Since you can't keep constantly pushing in the "bubble" while dancing it might not be the best shoe for performances, but is fine for class as the "bubble" should not disrupt the formation of the arch or hinder the quality of dancing. It just won't make the feet look as streamlined or defined as they would in a slightly more conforming shoe. But in the end I think the pros far outweigh the cons. And you definately can't beat the price :)

Narrow really means narrow
I was hoping these would fit but didn't work that way. The child wears a size 2 shoe but these are even too short, as well as quite tight for her. So I guess she needs the wide size instead, although for regular shoes she is fine. Sizing is a major problem when buying online. The shoe is good quality and well made and easy to wear. But the sizes run a bit small.

Why are these called "adult slippers"? As I know the adult size range it starts at either 5 or 6 US.

Shoe runs big
This shoe runs very big. I ordered as if I would a normal shoe that is not wide. The shoe is very big on my foot and I am unable to wear them.
