Dinkles Formal Men's Marching Band Shoes, Comfortable, Black Patent

Amazon said that my size was a 10, but that didnt seem right, so I ordered a nine and it fit perfect. I wasnt excited about the $19 shipping, but since it was Amazon, the free return, if it didnt fit, made me order from them. I've marched in DINKLE white bucks but never high gloss blacks, my prior pair held up pretty well and made it through 4-5 years of 15 parades a summer before the soles wore out. This is a marching shoe, and if you play an instrument, any instrument, you've gotta have a marching shoe, it makes all the difference.

Love them, these shoes fit perfectly. I ordered a size too big when I first got dinkles for band. I just sucked it up and wore more socks to fix the spacing issues. At my last indoor percussion competition I almost rolled my ankle and realized I should get a new pair that fits. They fit like a glove and came in perfect condition. I definitely recommend.

My oldest son was very pleased with the size and comfort of the Dinkles. Thanks for rushing it even though it cost me more than what the shoes were worth.

I ordered these shoes for my son and they were perfect. Evey other shoe we have tried they have given him horrible blisters. He said thye rubbed a bit on the back of his heal, but NO BLISTERS.. Both of us are very happy

They worked well.

these were great and price amazing just what I needed

Great shoes, maybe the shipping fee should be less

I used Dinkles thru 8 years of High School and College marching band, so I knew what they were about. When an occasion came up where I needed to wear a tux for a special occasion, instead of using nasty rental shoes I picked up a pair of Formal Dinkles. They worked great! Very Very comfortable, light, and a good sole that won't send you flying if it's a little slippery out. Cheap investment, even if you're only using them every couple of years.
