I was hoping to love these because they have a bit more cushion to them. The only thing I loved about them is how they felt (material/slight extra amount of padding). Unfortunately, they are not usable. They don't fit my fit well, and slip off easily. They seem too wide (not enough elastic to contour to your foot), and don't come down far enough on the ball of your foot.  Another dancer in my class had the same issues.  Would not buy again or recommend.
