text: Beautiful shoe.  Great flexibility and slip for Latin dance, etc -. for pivots and turns.  Well balanced heel so you feel very steady on your feet dancing.  Impractical for anything more than a couple of hours.  Very thin sole, so no padding or support.  They are dance shoes - not intended for wearing all day or for walking around in.  If you are going to be club dancing on concrete all night, I would not suggest these shoes.  But for say two hours of salsa dancing - great shoe.
