First, unless I was thoroughly ripped off by Dance 4 Less, these shoes are Very Fine ballroom dance shoes, not DanceNwear, which is probably some intermediate that I should have researched prior to my purchase. PLEASE ADVERTISE WHAT THE PRODUCT TRULY IS INSTEAD OF MISLEADING THE CONSUMER!<br /><br />Second, these shoes are not bad but not great. I have owned these shoes before, and they tend to wear considerably after about a year of regular dancing (2+ hrs a day, 3 days a week). I gave two stars because of the shady dealings of DanceNwear and Dance 4 Less and the mediocre quality of the shoe. Research, research, research!
