text: These shoes were a bit small at the toe.  I believe it is because the toe is squared versus round.  They do give some with the wearing though.  These are dance shoes therefore they have no arch support in there thin soles.  They come with a nice bag to carry them in and are a good quality shoe.  I thought of exchanging them for a half size up but the prices double  and more in the other sizes.  That is one of the drawbacks to shopping on Amazon.
