ME: I’m 5 feet/161 lbs and I hate dancing in heels. I don’t salsa. I do a partner dance called Chicago Stepping that has footwork and turns. I’m not into having foot pain for fashion bc foot pain is the WORST and can lead to long-term problems. SIZE: I’m glad I used the sizing guide bc I normally wear a 5.5, but I ordered a 6 and it fit right. I measured with a tape measurer. COLOR: Silver. The rhinestones reflect multi-color, not just white. Because of that, Sometimes the silver shoe looks silvery, blue-ish. Sometimes it looks silver. I’ve worn them twice so I’m not sure how pics show up. CLASP: I had to get used to it. A quick YouTube vid helped. I’d say adjust buckle to your liking. Clasp goes behind the buckle to make sure buckle doesn’t loosen as you dance - so much so, I had to take my time and put my foot on a chair to unhook it at the end of the night. Shoes felt very secure while dancing. (Be aware buckle can come completely off. Don’t lose it.) STYLE: They are dance shoes for sure. Meant for performances or practice where you want to feel cute. To me, they aren’t the most trendy looking, but they work. They make a statement. The lower heel is very functional. I might try to go up in heel size after getting used to these and look for something that looks more like a regular, nice trendy heel later. CUSHION: It’s ok. Not the thickest cushion. Didn’t feel like I was dancing on clouds, but definitely had no foot pain at all afterwards which is rare for me. My arches fall, so heels aren’t comfortable. These were fine. STABILITY: For stability, I found I had to dance about 3 dances to find my “footing”, to find where it felt good for me place weight to dance comfortably. Initially, I felt a small amount of wobble when I walked on the floor, but it quickly went away and I stopped thinking about the shoes. FLEXIBILITY: They didn’t feel flimsy or rigid at all, and I’m slightly overweight for my height right now. DURABILITY: I’ve worn them for two days. I’ll have to update later.
