I bought these for dancing - I usually wear a size 9, but reading reviews I ordered size 10. It fits fine but since my foot tends to be a bit wide, it is a bit tight in the toe -- not so much that it's actually a problem, though. I'm hoping it will stretch out a little bit.

Great, simple and comfortable. I finally found the perfect shoe for Salsa. Great quality as well as perfect not high heel.

I usually take a 10W, ordered a 10.5W, returned them for 11W. Attached some
heel holders, stood in them all evening. They felt great.

I ordered a size larger than I usually buy, so this size worked. I like the heel highth. The leather upper is very stiff and there's no cushion in the toe and no arch support. I found them to be very uncomfortable.

These shoes are very comfortable and secure on stage. They do run very small. I normally wear a 9.5 in every other shoe. I have a 10.5 in these and really could have used an 11.

I bought these as practice shoes for ballroom and Argentine Tango dancing. They were comfortable the first time I wore them, and what a great value!

The inside is cushy and the not-buckle thing is really convenient. I'm looking forward to getting a chance to dance in these! I'm usually a 9-10 in women's (but I generally wear a men's 9 4E) and I ordered a 10W. It's a little tight on the big toe but I expect they'll stretch a little, and I suspect that half a size up (which wasn't available in a W) would have been too big.

I thought this would be a comfortable shoe to stand in all day and it looks like it would be. It is sized very small. The 8.5 w looks like a size 5. I reordered to a 9.5 w which I never wear and it was still too small.

Nice dance shoes, but definitely order at least 1 size bigger than you normally wear. I ordered one size larger and probably could have gotten another 1/2 size bigger to be the most comfortable.

Took 3 tries to get the proper size - ran way small. But once I found the correct fit they are wonderful dance shoes.

Like the Zappos service, fast delivery. I would have liked the shoe to be a little bit more wider.

I like this shoe. It's very comfortable. I went with a full size larger than I normally would based on other peoples' reviews, but I wish I had gone a half size larger.

These are not bad character shoes for the price but definitely order at least a full size up. You might want to even order a size and half larger than you would normally wear. These run very small.

This runs really small. An 8.5 usually is a little big on me and it was tight. Otherwise I thought it was comfortable.

I normally wear a 6W. The 7W was still too small. Ordering a 7.5W. Price is right, shoes look a bit cheap, but for dance practice, I don't care.

Unfortunately I have a narrow foot and was hoping that even though these shoes were a medium width that they might still work with the strap. Every time I would bend my foot, this shoe would gap on both sides, as it was just too wide for my narrow foot. If someone wears a B width normally, then these would probably be perfect for them. I wish they came in a narrow width.

I normally wear an 8.5 in a flat, sometimes an 8 in a heel. I ordered a 9 and the size is perfect. I have a very narrow foot, and could have used a narrow width, but the strap on this shoe keeps my heel from slipping out. I chose a shoe with a strap for that very reason.
I wear these for ballroom dance practice - never outdoors. They were comfortable right away and a huge improvement over the non-dance leather-soled shoes I had been wearing since I started lessons. They're not the most stylish shoe, but they are perfect for practice!

One full size above my normal size fit perfectly. I bought these shoes to wear to a wedding because I wanted something relatively dressy that I could dance in. They did the job! I didn't have to break them in, no blisters and they held up for many hours on my feet. They are comfortable to dance in. I did put some arch inserts in them and I wish these shoes had a bit more cushioning. Also, my toes just felt a little tiny bit confined.

I normally wear a 7 or 7.5 WW. I've been desperately searching for an extra wide dancing shoe (which is impossible, sadly), so I ordered these in an 8.5 W thinking that going up a full size would help. I made the mistake of wearing them so couldn't return them. They are very, very tight and I'm generally miserable wearing them. I think I've only worn them twice because they feel so terrible on my feet. If you have a truly extra wide foot, don't get these! They are nice shoes for dancing, though, just not for me.

A High Class attractive practical shoe for salsa, ballroom and dancing. The slightly wider heel provides stability for all those turns and fast walking. Great price!

Merrell, Nike and any cute boot. Love that Zappos carries harder to find small shoe sizes.

I normally wear a 7.5. I ordered at 8.5 and the fit is excellent. These are substantial shoes and are attractive for what they are. There is a reinforced toe and the leather sole seems substantial. I have not worn them in dance class yet.
