As the shoe stretches out use the buckle to tighten if necessary. Capezio is the only company that currently makes the Pedini. This sandal has a suede upper with half sole covering the ball of the foot for protection in turns. The thong shaped upper fits between big toe and second toe. This shoe is not very durable, for once the thong breaks the shoe is unwearable.
Some people find that the half sole makes turns impossible.
Some dancers absolutely love the sandal because they are the least amount of shoe, which is great for modern, and can be better to turn on than going barefoot.
