Review on 👠 Illeana Leather Latin/Salsa/Ballroom Competition Dance Shoe for Women by Bloch Dance: A Perfect Blend of Style and Function by Tony Meyer

I ordered them for a salsa show. I have wide feet and bursitis which makes it difficult to find standard shoes and I've heard they go a long way. I have difficult feet. They're big like hobbits with bursitis. I received them with the intention of putting them on a shoe tree. I could really squeeze my feet into these shoes without stretching them, meaning they're probably wider. I ordered my street shoe size 6.5. Unfortunately I have to return these shoes. I don't think there's anything wrong with them, but the sole is very hard and it's impossible to point your toes into it. They may be suitable for ballroom dancing and beginners but lack forefoot flexibility. Of course, I'm not sure if they were intended for anything other than ballroom dancing, so it's not necessarily a shoe defect. It looks like a well made shoe and has an amazing locking mechanism. I wonder how it wears out over time.
