Review on 🩰 Girls/Women's Ballet Shoes - Leather Full Sole with Arch Support and Breathable Material, Men's Yoga Socks, Jazz Shoes, Ballerina Shoes, Women's Dance Shoes for Beginners, Barre Slipper Socks by Tammy Griffin

This review was originally published here on 09/23/2021. Somehow they got moved into their canvas shoes list. This is a huge improvement over regular training shoes. Padded insoles across the width and length absorb shock, but I still feel the ground. I have a 7B in street shoes, with a very high arch and low toe profile. I first ordered 7-7.5 which was too long and too wide. Now I wear 6-6.5 after measuring my feet according to the instructions (duh) and they are perfect! After they stretch, I continue to wear them, but already in socks (I dance at home). After a few months of use, they won't fall apart anywhere, so no extra landfill. . I hate that most practice shoes and pointe shoes are intentionally disposable. They will work very well on a large scale. Highly recommended. UPDATE #1 DEC 2021: So it's been 3 months and the slack adjusters broke today after a few too many turns. I just sewed the ribbons together. The cushioning is still good, which for me is the main attraction of this shoe. UPDATE #1, JANUARY 2022: The seller has contacted me to let me know that the sliding strap adjusters have been redesigned and strengthened. The pair I bought on 9/17/21 had a buckle problem, however after 3 months of almost daily use. The pair I bought on 9/23/21 (6 days later) has an extra slider. These didn't break. Any pair you buy after this date should have this very durable redesign. Comment: Every other sport or discipline I play has specialized technical gear made from modern materials to improve performance and prevent injuries, but sorry, ballerinas are still a joke, they're worse than they were in medieval times. I am sure that even serfs and forced laborers had more durable and protective shoes than scraps of leather, glue, cardboard and cloth. I know that shoes are designed for 3D printers, and Seth Orza has a company that uses sports technology to create ballet flats with more support and cushioning. This is what I'm wearing at the moment. I add Spenco to protect my joints and discs once they've stretched enough. My orthopedist for sports medicine agreed. While training at home and attending classes via Zoom, I stay away from the Middle Ages.
