Nexete Ballet Dance Pointe Shoes, Satin Dance Slipper Flats with Toe Pad & Ribbon, Leather Soles for Girl Women (Please Order Street Size 1/2-1 up)

Very, very notable quality! Quality of the wrapping was sterling. Quick to send.

Impossible and unpredicted sizing.I am a pro dancer and use these only a costume shoes.

I struggled with the star score for this purchase because I bought them for a costume (Dee Dee from Dexter's lab...yup, should have bought a light color and dyed them, but that's on me, lol) but I have danced en pointe in the past. I'd give these 5 stars for costume and 1 or 2 stars for legit ballet class. And I knew the risks I was taking buying online. I've been spoiled because I've always purchased pointe shoes locally and had shoes professionally fit. I probably never would have considered buying pointe shoes online, unless I was buying a replacement from the same manufacturer for a pair I'd had professionally fit. Before writing this review I had to do a little research online to learn more about the different platform configurations for pointe shoes, because I didn't want to be overly critical...I figured that I only knew the shoes I used and wanted to get more info. I included a photo to show the different in what I'm used to (light pink) vs. these shoes (red) in the platform. These shoes are much wider than what I'd wear to dance class, which was OK for a costume. I was able to get them to fit by drawing the elastic tight. But it was wicked standing en point with these shoes, ouch! I'm guessing mostly because my feet are "Egyptian" shape and these shoes weren't close to what I was accustomed to. Fortunately this was a strange Halloween, nowhere to go, really, so these served the purpose.

I love how the pointe slippers look. They are very elegant and well put. BUT, I wear a size 7 in pointe slippers. I went up a size to 7.5 knowing they will always be smaller then the normal shoe size. I put them on and they were too small. I put my foot up to the slipper and my foot was longer by 2 sizes. I was shocked. So, I’m doing a return and getting 2 sizes up than my normal size. Be aware when ordering. 2 sizes up is the best and I would highly recommend that.** (I also have a very slim and tiny foot, so that shows you how small these pointe slippers run** AND they were a wide just for the swelling of the foot.

As a dancer these are beautiful shoes for the money. I wanted something fun to practice in and these are great. They also come with a set of toe pads which is always nice! The laces are machine sewn in so you may need to reposition them. If I had to do it over again I’d order them half a size bigger but they still fit fine in my normal size, the shaft is just a bit shorter than I’d like.

M me gustó el proveedor, las quise regresar porque lo que que pedí conforme a las tallas que publican me quedaron enormes sobre todo la caja de la zapatilla Me eviaron la etiqueta de DHL para regresarlas, pero con todo y eso la mensajería me cobra 1,200 MXP por el envío que es casi lo que pagué por las zapatillas

Gorgeous shoes.I think a 9 would have worked better.I usually wear a 9 in a shoe that fits this close but because of the reviews I ordered a w0.But I will see elastic in the back inside so they will fit better also you can't thread the ribbons in the back and again I might just add a tiny elastic loop to help.I've always wanted a pair of bright red toe shoes and again these are to die for gorgeous! Also I've read from customers the town of is plastic.Can't prove it by me and I don't dance any more but will be wearing these beautiful shoes to work with a long skirt.Thank you so much!I love them.Also the toebox is a good size.Sincerely,Lydia

I liked everything about the gift slippers I bought for my daughter! Thank you!
