Review on ๐Ÿ‘  DKZSYIM Women's Closed Toe Ballroom Dance Shoes for Latin Performance and Practice, Model 101 by Karla Garcia

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Too big unstructured shoes can be dangerous!

These shoes are being returned but they are good little shoes especially for the price and not uncomfortable although it is worth noting that they are being returned as being too big. If they fit, I would definitely leave them. They're clearly a copy of Sansha's style - they even wrote "Sasha" in a similar font. They are basically low heel ballet shoes that are used (I think) primarily for ballet training and for character/folk dancing. I ordered them for ballroom dancing. These people sell them in both leather and canvas; I ordered a canvas. Nice little shoe, albeit a fake. It has elastic straps that criss-cross the instep (it really helps grip the arch and also offers two extra attachment points to keep the slippers on your foot), an elastic drawstring (tuck those loops into your shoes, or even better). :t). Make bows, just tie a straight or square knot and tuck in the ponytails.) There's also a fully cushioned insole with arch support. The heel also goes a little into the arch of the foot to give extra support there. The fabric was good enough. The suede patches on the heel and ball of the foot were thick, and the ball of the patch was sewn with strong red thread. There was also a small non-woven dust bag that would come in handy for transport, ventilation and storage. Again, I would leave them if they fit. But unfortunately I took the advice of someone with the same foot size but who didn't know how ballet flats should fit and ordered. As far as I know, I could have read that in a review of a completely different style of shoe. I have a slightly odd shaped foot - a little wide in the forefoot but narrower in the heel - and I almost always wear a size 7.5/38. I can get away with 7W in peep toe sandals. The eight is almost always too big โ€“ too long and often too wide. Wide is too wide, medium narrow in front and instep. So of course I ordered 8 - because another lady made it. Not only are they too big, but the structure of the shoe makes that clear. That also makes him quite dangerous. Because there is no structure in slippers, you rely on the comfort of slippers and the strength of the material to support and protect your feet. As baggy as they are, I'm afraid I'll trip over that extra space and sprain my ankle. Even in leather, I'm not sure I would have ordered the same size. If I order them again, they'll either be a half size smaller than my actual size, or if there isn't a half size then seven, and I'll just be patient for them to stretch. It's not just that people don't know what size to order, they don't know how to fit at all. Order your actual size and if they are "too tight" just accept them and imagine how much more uncomfortable a sprained ankle would be, slip them over thick socks and wear them until they stretch.
