Great for practicing dancing at home
I had to replace my old SwayD sneaker for practicing at home because that 3-year-old sneaker started expanding. I read many reviews before placing the order. Reviews are helpful. My shoe size is 6.5 to 7. Ordered size 7. So far, I like these shoes. On Day 1, the shoes were really tight as expected. I danced 30 minutes in these shoes and switched to my old dance shoes. Day 2 or 3, I heard my toes were rebelliously demanding its room, which felt amusing. I did some stretching motion of my toes inside these shoes. On that day, somehow, I was able to dance in these shoes longer like 1 hour, then switched to my old shoes. Day by day, I became comfortable in these shoes. On the 5th day, I no longer had to change shoes. I like the look of these shoes. I put some bling on them. It is obvious to me that the sole of the toe box will need resoling within a month. No problem. I'm used to doing such maintenance. These shoes are good for clean smooth floor. Some dance floors are not cleaned or depending the floor, these shoes will wear and tear quickly. I bought these shoes only for home practice.Although these shoes were really tight first, somehow I was able to put in an insole. I needed cushion on the toe box.Unlike stated by other reviews, the heel does not bother me. Besides, the heel height of these shoes is close to zero.Because it is clear that the maintenance on the sole of the tow box is coming soon, my review is 4 instead of 5. Durability issue. Other than that, I like these shoes.
