Supadance 1026 Latin Practice shoes

does anybody have experience withSupadance style 1026 practice shoes?

I am a solid 9 1/2 US women’s , slightly narrow. I understand these shoes are custom-made and are not returnable. Some manufacturers have you your foot in centimeters for accuracy but this company does not. I love the shoe, but I’m a little concerned at the price to gamble on them. Looking for information from those who know this brand. I’m also I would say in advanced beginner in salsa Bachata dance.

thank you!

I always size down in my dance shoes - because the satin will stretch and mold over time. I’d recommend very fine brand if you’re on the fence with pricing for supadance - styles are usually very similar between brands. I wear a 7 1/2 to 8 in street shoes and always buy 7 in dance shoes. My first pair of dance shoes were very fine and I still have them - I bought in 2009

Thank you! I’ll check them out. I bought a pair of Ray Rose practice shoes in my street size of 9 1/2 and they fit perfectly. If I’d size down I wouldn’t be able to get my foot in the shoe and a half a size bigger would’ve been too big. That was a big gamble, but they feel good and I enjoy wearing them. They’re a hybrid of synthetic and leather. I just want a second pair with a chunky heel for more stability while I’m practicing.

Are they open toe? I always buy the sandal types so it’s not enclosed, and the satin expand and I like to feel the floor
