Review on Stelle Stretch Canvas Ballet Shoes: The Perfect Dance Slippers For Girls & Women With Split Soles by Sherri Lee

I use these for exercise. I do a lot of barre work and floor work with pilates and similar exercises. I wanted something that would help my feet feel more stable than wearing socks and more supported than being barefoot, but also have generous flexibility for certain stretches. I had a similar pair of these years ago when I practiced ballet and hoped these would be the same. They are. For my purpose, they're perfect and exactly what I wanted. They also fit great and feel comfortable all the way around. I wear an 8 1/2 in everyday shoes, and these are true to size on me.The canvas is soft but has a nice weight to it. It does not feel cheap in any way. It's heavy enough to feel substantial without being rough or too rigid. The criss-cross elastic straps hold the shoes on my feet but don't pinch or bind. The elastic around the top edge fits snug but doesn't also doesn't bind. I have narrow feet, so your mileage may vary on that. The heels fit well. Not too snug, and not too loose.I really love the attention to detail with these shoes. I think they are made well. The pinches and gathers on the sole are even, and all of the stitching is straight and sturdy. The leather sole pads are nice, too. Inside, they are as I expected them to be. A lightweight cotton insole appears to be glued down, which is what I expected. It's comfortable.I haven't worn ballet shoes in many years, but I got exactly what I had hoped to receive. Top to bottom, I think these are great and I will order this brand when these finally wear out.
