This is the shoe our team uses so my daughter had to have it. My older daughter didn't originally prefer them. However, this was before my discovery that I should have ordered a full size up from her street shoe. My younger daughter, who also dances, likes these shoes and never complains about them. The shoe she wears is also a full size up from her street shoe.
They have held up well over the season, but we reserve them for contests and performances using a different pair for practices.
