Of course these shoes are good, recommended by all Pro dancers, BUT, these are so expensive and the company can't even give out a Tote bag wit it? That's really cheap of the company.Shoe quality is good. Black leather on the top is soft and feels good. Metal taps are smooth and nice too. Sole is thick and after using this shoes for the last 3 weeks, it seems like I have broken into it, and it is feeling more comfortable. But the Toe side metal tap doesn't have the compensating leather layer, and the company expects us customers to paste the rubbery layer that they gives with the shoe. First of all, why these layering patch is not made of leather? Do they expect us to first scratch off the expensive leather sole and then buy extra leather shoe glue and paste it? If we go wrong, then we spoil the sole of this expensive shoe. Really, Bloch? How cheap one company can get? Your shoes are standard sizes, why aren't you pasting those layering-level patches and selling them? Why are you expecting customers to do it?
