3.0 out of 5 stars Meh, September 7, 2010

Bought these for a tap-intensive musical. Out of the box: stap too big, used an awl to create a new hole, and had to trim off about 2.5 inches of excess strap hanging off the shoe because it looked so weird. Heel was the right height - but not very flattering to my foot/leg (oh well). The sound was not "extreme," either - sounds were thin and weak, had to loosen the tap plates a little, after which they sounded much better. HOWEVER - the shank on one of them BROKE at my third rehearsal! Granted, the rehearsals were pretty intense, but still - you pay this much for a shoe, it should LAST and be able to meet the demands of a serious dancer. Not especially impressed.

The shoes look great. I put in little arch support inserts. The post for the buckle fell off the first week, and I had to take them to a shoe repair. That's why I didn't give them a 5 star. I had to have the shoe repairman put in 2 extra holes as well, but my feet tend to run narrowish. (Maybe it's the not so great arches.) I love the way they look and the sound is clean.

These shoes are excellent. The heel is fairly tall but manageable. They look and sound great! However they run narrow but over time the leather will stretch a little bit. Mine were too tight at first but are much better now.
