Evansville,INA beautiful shoe, but limited sizing. I am a size US women’s 9.5, and between a medium and a wide width. I ordered size 11, knowing that the shoes will be narrow. I didn’t expect the shoes would be THAT narrow! If you are questioning what size to get, I can confidently say if you wear a women’s 10 or larger, you are simply out of luck. If you have feet that won’t be comfy in such narrow shoes, my apologies. However, I am in LOVE with everything else about this shoe. The build is nice, the craftsmanship is fantastic for the price, the taps sound fantastic, and the soles are padded and comfy. I have about 10 hours of use on these shoes and they have been decent to break in. The shoestrings aren’t the best. I LOVE the look and sound of these shoes, but my feet slide out of the backs enough to Irritate my skin. I would send these back, but I love the look and sound far too much. Because of the fit, for me these are decent practice shoes.

Clear Lake,IAI LOVE these tap shoes! This is my second time ordering them, my first pair lasted me 15 years, and I passed them down to a student that bought my old studio from me, and she taught in them for 10 years! I opened a new studio and my cheapie taps lost a toe tap, so I had to get my spectators again, and despite some concerning reviews, they did NOT disappoint! So happy I went with my heart and got my favs again. They're supportive, but soft and pliable. Good crisp tap tone, louder than anyone in the classes I teach. I've been tap dancing for 30 plus years, teaching for 23 years. These tap shoes have my heart.

Huntington,WVPLEASE BE AWARE THESE SHOES RUN INCREDIBLY SMALL!!! My street shoe size is a 7.5 - I had to order a 9 in these. Once I found a size that fit, I ended up loving them. They are very comfortable and the sounds are very clear. I like that they aren't completely black or completely tan so I stand out from my students.

Orange,CTThe downside of this shoe is that the lining bleeds on to the tights the tap sound is very dead and you cannot adjust the screws on the taps. Overall a nice shoe for an intermediate tapper but not a good shoe for a teacher or advanced tapper.

Mohrsville,PACan't wait to wear this shoe. I usually take a 7 and a half. I ordered an 8 and it was a little small in the toes. I ordered an 8 and a half and still small in the toes. Ordering a 9 and hopefully they fit.

01/22/2018The shoe is great for tapping, but the sizes are so difficult to get right. I read the reviews, but it all depends on your feet. I ordered 2 sizes up from street shoes and way too big. I ordered 1.5 sizes up and still too big. I am hoping that the third time is a charm.

Columbus,OHI looked at the reviews and order a size up for my daughter for a Christmas gift. They were too small. She needs shoes for next semester so I could not wait to exchange them. Buying shoes in person is probably best.

Mill City,ORThese run small but I order 1.5 sizes up and they fit perfect. My foot is a little narrow and these are great with a thick sock. Felt great through class, didn't get uncomfortable though the laces kept loosening up on me.
Love them! They are very cute on

10/25/2015Let me start by saying these shoes are very good quality. But...I ordered up one size, when it's suggested to order 1/2 to 1 size larger. They are still way too small! I have to return these and order 2 sizes larger than my daughters street size. So frustrating!

02/18/2015I ordered the original shoe a half size large. It was too tight, so I ordered a half size larger. That turned out to be too small, as well. I have recently received a shoe that is a full two sizes larger than my shoe size. It is a little bit long, and still snug. Perhaps, I should have gone with a wide width.

12/29/2014I love these shoes! Was so excited to get them! I knew to order a size larger, so I did but they are still too snug for me. I will order a size and a half larger next time.

12/23/2014These shoes look gorgeous. Unfortunately, there is no way my son will be able to wear them and it is too late to order another pair that will get here in time for Christmas (it was his main gift). I ordered 1 street size up based on his size in women's shoes.
When I got them I LOVED the look of them -- much nicer looking than a similar pair I ordered from a company on Amazon, and seemingly made out of nicer material -- but the shoes from here are still 2 or 3 sizes too small despite ordering a size up. I'm not sure how to order the next pair. I don't want to keep having to paying for shipping and returning shoes.

07/29/2014So this is tricky. Based on the other reviews, I knew sizing might be an issue. I'm a pretty true size 6. If a shoe runs big, I may be a 5.5, but otherwise 6 through and through. I bought a size 8 because of the reviews, but they were too big - like maybe if I wore two pairs of thick socks they would work. It's my opinion that the size 8 was really like a 7. I've now returned the shoes and am waiting on the size 7. I will update my review once I know. In conclusion - I think these shoes run 1 size small. A risky purchase without being able to try them on, but they are beautiful, properly weighted, and possibly worth it to take the sizing risk. Do not order your street shoe size, they will be too small.

07/03/2014I ordered this shoe according to the sizing suggestions, same as street shoe, and its too small to put on. I normally wear a 7 but decided to order size 8 for extra comfort during hours of class. The shoe looks like a size 6. And to complicate things the refund policy is a little ridiculous. so disappointed.

06/12/2014I was so excited when these shoes became available at Discount Dance. What a disappointment when they arrived. It said to order street size. That was way off. They are probably 1-1/2 sizes too small. I couldn't get them on my feet to try them on.
