This review is for "Women's Ballroom Dance Shoes Character Shoes, Latin Salsa Dancing Shoes for Women, Cross Strap Dance Heels, Gold"I got these not for dancing but for wearing for long periods of time. I had read that wearing dance shoes at long events is more comfortable than regular heels. These feel good right out of the box. There was no break-in period, I put them on and wore them out shopping just to test them and they felt good. In person they are really pretty and the decorative buckle adds a nice little touch.
