NO GRIP. The plastic strap in the back is pretty much useless because you have to purchase them in a size bigger to fit. They are too narrow to fit in your normal size so this makes that plastic strap just pop out. I ended up cutting it off. The straps dont fall off surprisingly but it does take a while to put them on correctly. Oh, and theres no grip on the soles? Kinda makes them useless to dance in huh? Had to buy grips but over all they are unique and cute and would be greater if these flaws were fixed.
