I am a beginner and I bought these for my new salsa dance class. Realized I needed them because tennis shoes just don’t work! I bought these because they were inexpensive and had leather uppers and they were the best price I could find. I didn’t want to spend a lot just in case I didn’t continue with the classes. Needless to say, I love these shoes! They are so comfortable and they have just enough slide on the bottom that I can make really nice turns. I did measure my foot to the quarter inch and that’s how I bought my shoes and they fit perfectly. Read more

The media could not be loaded. I’ve tried many jazz shoes over the years, but the Linodes Unisex Leather Upper Jazz Shoes truly stand out. From the moment I slipped them on, I could feel the difference in quality and comfort. The high-quality leather uppers not only look sleek but also feel soft and durable — they mold beautifully to the foot with each wear. One of the standout features is the arch insert design, which gives excellent support, especially during long rehearsals or performances. As someone who needs good arch support, I appreciate this thoughtful addition. The pull-on design is a game-changer — easy to get on and off without the hassle of laces or zippers, which is especially helpful during quick costume changes. They’re also super comfortable right out of the box. No break-in time was needed for me. The fit is true to size, and they accommodate both narrow and wider feet really well — a huge plus for our studio where dancers of all foot shapes share the same style. Overall, these jazz shoes are a perfect blend of style, function, and comfort. I highly recommend them for dancers of all levels looking for a reliable and well-fitting shoe that will support their every move! Read more
I bought these for dancing, the fit really well. I usually wear a size 6.5 or 7 in regular shoes bur these run small so I got a 6.0 and the fir perfect. They are nice soft leather uppers and very flexible, the next best thing to dancing barefoot. They allow you to turn and slide without being slippery. I have told a few others about this type of dancing shoes. Read more
I bought these jazz shoes for dance classes, and they’ve been excellent so far. They slip on easily, fit snugly, and provide just the right amount of support and flexibility for movement. Pros: Soft leather feels comfortable and molds to the foot with wear. Split sole design allows for great flexibility while dancing. Easy slip-on style with elastic sides—no hassle with laces. Lightweight yet supportive—perfect for practice or performances. Affordable compared to studio prices for dance shoes. Cons: Sizing runs a bit small—going up a half to full size is recommended. Not much cushioning, so they’re best for studio floors rather than long wear. Overall, these are reliable and comfortable jazz shoes at a good price. They’ve made my practices easier, and I’d definitely recommend them to dancers of any level. Read more

Good shoes and fit to size Read more
I owned a pair of identical dance shoes a few years ago but got rid of them bc I just wasn’t dancing anymore. When I started back, I needed a new pair, so I purchased what I thought would be an item that was comparable in quality and fit. That wasn’t the case. Despite my hesitation, Amazon recommended an 8.5 for me, but when I got them, they were so big on my feet that I had at least a 1/2” gap between the shoe and my ankle, and the length made me feel like I was wearing clown shoes. Maybe worst of all is that they seem to have no shape nor curve to them at all—as if both were cut from the same pattern (not made for R foot NOR L foot). It was VERY odd. Very wonky. Neither fits my foot like a regular shoe. It’s more like putting my foot into a stranger’s (old-school) Dutch wooden clogs. The padding is zero. Literally zero. The only good things I can say about these are that, after returning and getting a full size smaller, the new size finally stayed on my foot, and they do allow me to move easily across the floor without being too (dangerously) slick. I’m overall disappointed with the quality of these shoes. They work okay for casual dance and exercise at home, but the $30 price tag seems awfully high for such poor quality. If you need real dance shoes for an actual class or a performance, I don’t think you should choose these. I really wanted to leave a positive review, but I just couldn’t find much positive to say. 😕 Read more
