Theatricals Women's Modern

Very comfortable, ordered a 1/2 size larger.

Cute but these shoes run small, I’m a true 7.5 I’m exchanging for a size 8 and hoping they’re not too big

I am pretty happy with these new dance shorts!! I haven't actually worn them to dance in because I school hasn't started back up yet so I am waiting to wear them in the dance room since they're new for the new school year, so I feel a bit guilty writing this review without having danced danced in them yet, but I tried them on so why not! The price was durable for me since I am in school and my mom/nor I will pay $25 JUST for DANCE SHORTS. The fit is as expected I feel that it fits SNUG only because of the material but in other words its still stretchy!! And I've recently lost weight this past year (or two) so I still have trouble deciding which size is right for me cause Im not used to a smaller body & I know some shorts do fit small (a size down than what it says) or SNUG but I am now about a size 11-13 which for me I consider medium/large depending on the fit, so I bought a LARGE & it felt nice, if you want to go for the medium if your around the same size as me go for it, but just be cautious about your decision (its hard to not tell what they'll exactly feel like if you cant try them on like in a store so...) Feels cool and smooth too, works around your body like it moves and fits how your body is shaped. And I have a little stomach but not too big to where its uncomfortable to wear the shorts as they are b/c they do have a V-Waist so thats something to look out for! The black is also nice and well BLACK so you dont need to watch out for what color underwear you wear either. I say still be cautious if you feel when your moving alot it might slide down around the waist some but other than that I am a happy dancer! :)

I wore these shoes for a play I was in, and these shoes helped me preform perfectly! When I received the shoes in the mail, they were not damaged, they were in perfect condition.The shipping of the product was later than what was posted on the website, so that was the most stressful part of the whole process. I was very happy with the brand I decided to go with, the sizes were correctly fitted, the shoes were comfortable for a 2 and a half hour performance, the width of the shoes fit perfectly, and the arch was fitted in the correct place. Overall, it was a great shoe. However, I noticed only one frustrating thing (besides the shipping issue) I had to scuff up the bottom of the shoe so I would not slip, and, after all the performances of the show, there were black scuff marks on the toes of my shoes. For buyers needing to buy this shoe just for an activity you will only do once, I would totally recommend this shoe. However, for a professional, I would suggest a more professional shoe. Yes, this was an excellent shoe overall, but the little setbacks of it would hold someone professionally back. There were other websites like discount dance that sells the tan character shoes, but those shoes go for $30 or $40 where as on Amazon I got this pair of shoes for $20. Overall, I was very happy with my purchase, and will recommend this brand to anyone who needs this product.

I wear a size 8 and I ordered a 7.5 and they fit perfectly.Good quality performance shoe!

I bought these shoes to wear for my ballroom dance lessons. The shoes are very comfortable, fit perfectly (I wear 7.5, regular) and should be good for at least 8 to 10 lessons. They look nice but as mentioned in previous reviews, the soles and heels will not last very long. I have only worn them once on a hardwood floor for 30 minutes and the heel is already worn down. I am happy with the purchase because for the price, if I can get 10 uses out of it, it will be a bargain. I would not wear these outside on the sidewalk as that would wear out the soles and heels very quickly. I think these shoes are for stage use only. As for arch support, I don't need it but if you do, you may need to put an insert in.

I am regularly a 8.5M size and felt better to go up in size a bit as recommended by several buyers. I was buying these shoes to wear to a big ethnic dance festival. Most of my shoes that are comfy have rubber soles which are not good for dancing. Now I am ready for anything! Will take them to Brazil when I am visiting my friend who is a ballroom dance fiend and always has a dance party to go to! There were no size 9 shoes available, so I decided to go with the 9.5 which was available. That would normally be too large but weighing it against the "too small" advisories, went with it and am very pleased. I inserted one of my favorite gel insoles and it is now a perfect fit. Maybe I should buy the light color ones too!Of course, every foot is different! My feet are more round toed than tapered, so these are comfortable without being too narrow.

Daughter is using these in the choreography-packed Chicago The Musical. So far the shoes are holding up well, though the 2” heel is a tad too high. The sole grips well after scuffing.I do voice the same issue about the high-VOC lacquer on the shoe that is nauseating on unpacking. I get that color is applied as orders are processed. But please aerate these shoes for 1-2 days before shipping, or after unpacking. It may make sensitive people nauseous if you're in a restricted space.Otherwise, it's a good shoe for stage.
