text: My daughter was never able to actually wear these shoes. After trying them on at home, she brought them to practice and could not get them on. One of the straps had come apart at the end so that she was unable to thread the strap through the buckle.  While fighting with trying to get the strap through she pulled out the elastic that the buckle was attached to. So buyers please be aware that this shoe buckle is not the traditional kind with the hole and pin, it is a thread through kind which is very hard to figure out, especially for my teen.  While the sizing was accurate, can't comment on the support or comfort.
