Theatricals Adult 2" T-Strap Character Shoes

I was really skeptical due to reviews. I wear an 8.5 in heels and have a wide foot. I normally wear a 9 in tennis shoes for extra toe room. I ordered these three days before my event - thanks amazon prime! I don’t care to wear high heels much as they hurt my feet. Usually an hour is about my max limit in heels before I begin getting achey. Tonight I wore these for 5 hours straight without issue. The heel is just high enough to be attractive without being uncomfortable. The heel is also thick and sturdy - not flimsy and pencil thin. They are synthetic material but for $25 I feel the price was fantastic for the pair of shoes I recieved. The buckles were sturdy and I had no issues with the hardware. No scuffs either and I’m rather careless with my feet and notoriously clumsy. Again, I have wider than average feet and had plenty of room. My foot was not squished and as I write this, the balls of my feet are not aching which is a welcomed relief for me. I know that these are technically “stage” shoes for theatrics but they don’t look cheesy at all. I will wear these with my other little black dresses now that I know they are so comfortable and I can go hours wearing them. They may be a bit dated in style but everyone is wearing vintage items and styles anyhow so who is to know that I bought them for a 1920’s party?! I’m about to go look at other shoe styles this company offers too! Thanks so much!

I bought these shoes for a musical theatre production and they had awful scuff marks after one wearing and they just kept getting worse. I was really disappointed because in every other way they’re great shoes. They fit great and were super comfortable, but don’t buy these shoes if you plan on dancing in them and want them to stay in good shape because they will not. I even bought a second pair to make sure I hadn’t just gotten some defective shoes. Both pairs did the exact same thing.

because these shoes are for dancing, the soles are for the floor only. I ordered them because of the short heels, I cannot wear high heels and a terrible time finding low high heel shoes. I took them to a shoe repair shop and soles and heels applied so I could walk on concrete and other hard surfaces. bear that in mind when purchasing. these shoes are designed for ballroom/flamenco dancing, however they are very nice for the price. Also they run large so get a size or half size smaller. I had to send them back and reorder a different size because they don't exchange only refund.

Wore these for a show and they were SO COMFORTABLE!! Many of my cast-mates purchased expensive shoes from a local store and they were uncomfortable and one even had problems with their shoe unraveling! They paid 2-3x as much as me. I could wear these every day they are so comfortable! I wore them for two long days of tech (8+ hours) and every night for dress rehearsal (5 nights) and then for 4 shows and never had any problems.

So, I teach. I needed era-looking shoes for a 50's dress- these fit the bill. I ordered a size too small the first time. So, I gave them to one of my theater students. I ordered up a half-size from my regular dress-shoe size. I cheated and put my tennis-shoe insoles in them. Wow! Super-comfy...all day. I NEVER wear heals (of ANY kind... I'm a Chaco/Brooks lovin' gal) These are my go-to dress shoe now. Super-secure on my feet ALL day, cute AND well-made. There are NO weird seams- if I would have stretched the toes a bit I would not have had ANY blisters. Literally, I wore these OUT-of-the-box. Amazing! Great shoe!

I'm not disappointed with the shoe itself, the shoe was fine but it was too big so I had to return it. I paid $6.00 to have the shoes shipped to me, I am OK with that. But I am not OK with paying $13.00 to ship them back. Most shoe companies offer a free exchange if the shoe doesn't fit, I shouldn't assume all companies do this. Make sure you order the correct size to begin with or you will be paying way more in shipping fees than the shoes are worth. I have now paid $19.00 and don't have any shoes to show for it.

Box came damaged. Box and product had a strong petroleum odor. Odor and box aside, shoes didn't fit due to a bit narrow for my foot. Shoes were comfortable otherwise. Return process expensive since shoes aren't returned to Amazon but to a third party that charged almost $6.00 to return. Unless you are sure of the size and comfort level, don't buy since return is about a third of the original cost for the shoes. Rip off!

I purchased this product for my daughter for her dance class. The last pair that I bought lasted for a year, so I thought it would be ok to get the same thing. Within a day of purchase the buckle on one strap broke, so we took the buckle off of an old shoe to try to fix it. This was unsuccessful, my daughter tried to fix the strap several times and continued to use the shoe in class but finally decided that it wouldn't work. However the return window has closed so now I will just have to try to fix these shoes. If you purchase please exam them carefully and if there are any issues return immediately!
