MinishionQJ6179 Womens Lace-up Suede Ballroom Latin Dance Shoes

This is a nice looking social dancing shoe. I recommend ordering it in half a size larger than you normal shoe size. The material does not stretch. Delivery is excellent. Comfort level is satisfactory also.

Heel broke off on the second wear. Very embarrassing and very disappointing.

I ordered these as part of a costume for a stage performance. Supposedly these are ballroom/dance shoes, but I found them to be a bit wobbly and unsteady. The flexible suede sole is fine, but I feel like the placement of the heel made the shoes more unsteady than other ballroom shoes I have. I did consider that the group performance was 12 ladies dancing independently, not with partners. I imagine that with a partner would feel a little more stable. I'm looking forward to trying these again when it gets colder, maybe for outdoor dancing in cool weather, or in a venue with too much AC.I had to tighten the straps at the top because the zipper pull at the back kept flipping into the shoes and causing discomfort. Once I wore them with long leggings that tucked into the boot, this became less of an issue.Also, these definitely run large. I wear 7.5 street size, and I had to order a 6 in these shoes. Luckily our instructor had several sample pairs in different sizes so I was able to determine my size before ordering. There were 12 ladies total in this group performance, and everyone had to order at least a full size below their normal size.

These are the first pair of dancing shoes I buy. They are very comfortable all around, ankle is well supported and you can tighten the laces if you need to. The entire shoe is made of super soft material that wont cut into your toes, not even on the first day. I can take these shoes to the club and look great with anything and can dance for hours! The only thing is that the fabric that covers the insole came unglued and now the insole is exposed. But that is no problem for me, it's an easy fix. Overall I love these shoes, they give support to my feet and ankles, there's enough space for my toes to spread, and they look great!

Obviously since coming from out of the country the shoes did take an estimated 2-3 weeks, but came in on the earliest estimated delivery date! I purchased a size 8; true to size for me. They fit perfectly and actually more comfortable than expected. There is cushioning in the shoe. I use these shoes for dance class (hip hop, seduction class) and latin dancing at clubs. I have small ankles so they are a little loose there even when I tighten them with the ties and anklet. Otherwise I am very happy with this purchase! Worth the expense and I am purchasing the other colors :)
