Taikesi Women Lyrical Shoes Foot Thong Dance Paw Half Sole Foot Toe Undies (Black&Nude)

I love these!! and so much cheaper than from a dance store or other name brands. I wear about a 7.5-8 (depending on the shoe, 8 in jazz shoes) with regular width feet and ordered a large. They fit perfect, they don't slip or move around while I'm dancing or leave indentions in my foot when I take them off. I only wish the pads at the bottom where shifted outward just a little bit but still well worth the price. I wear mine only 5 hours a week but they have lasted me great so far and I threw them in the washing machine and dryer and they came out just fine. Will repurchase once these wear out.

I bought these because I broke my toe where it connects to my foot. This caused a lot of pain underneath the back of my toes and on the ball of my foot during dance and Jazzercise. The bandaging and cotton I crammed in the crease between the underneath of my toes and my foot didn't help enough, so I bought these for the cushioning. They helped a lot. The extra padding gave more cushion to the ball of my feet, keeping it up closer to the back of my toes. The only thing I may try, are the ones with one long piece across the underside. This would alleviate the moving around of the pads to situate them exactly where I need them to be, instead of where the manufacturer thinks they should be for dance purposes, in lieu of injury purposes. I will see which ones work better. Either way...it helped. Too bad you can't buy extras in just one foot or the other, as I am not using the right foot paw...only the left one and it will keep wearing out. If these ever get marketed for injury purposes, there's a good idea!

I've regularly worn these footies for the past 4 years and have repurchased multiple pairs. They work well, although they do occasionally slide and need a quick readjustment. They also do get loose over time-- one pair lasts for ~1 year for me before they get too loose and I repurchase. These are all minor issues though, especially given their affordable price. Overall, I think they work well and are a good value!

Daughter is a seasoned dancer, she loved them and you can't beat the price. She used them for dancing at winter guard performances and practices. She also dances ballet and jazz so she knows what she likes and doesn't like when dancing. They've held up with her crazy schedule and practices with no problem. She wears a size 9 in Nike's and got these in a large and they fit perfectly. They do get dirty fast but that's normal but they are washable. We haven't washed them tons so time will tell how long the last, but for the price it's been worth it, already.

I like these half shoes very much. The bottoms of my bare feet get banged up so much in barre class and piyo class. I tried yoga socks, and I found that I got good grip but still no padding. Our new barre teacher was wearing these toe socks, and she explained that the pads on the bottom saved her feet. Thanks to Amazon I found them and my feet have been saved.

I ordered these for bellydance to help keep my feet from sticking to the wooden floors. I have slim feet, ordered a Large and they aren't very snug and twist a little on me. The pads do not end up where they should be. I wear size 9.5 in women's, the circumference of my foot is 7.5 inches (where the back band would sit). I should have ordered a Medium instead. They are very well constructed and look nice. Feel comfortable, minus the looseness from incorrect size.

Initially I loved this product. I started pole dancing for fitness about 6 months ago and saw someone else in class wearing these (a different brand) so I got a pair for myself cause my feet are rather boney. I wore them for every class, sometimes up to 12 classes a week, for about 4-5 months. And like i said, I loved them! But recently they ripped on the bottom where the pad and hem by the toes meet! My friend with the other brand has had her set for 3 years without any issues! I guess these use a cheaper material than the set my friend has.

The product clearly shows a small space for the big toe and a larger space for the rest of the toes to go through, meaning there should be a left and right foot for this product. I received two left feet and now they are useless to me.
