"hard to break in"

You know your feet the best, but for me, these were hard to break in and when they did, the arch wasn't in the right place. They were never the right shape for my feet, making them look shorter than they really are. That made it harder to get nice lines. The plie II's (capezio) worked better for me, but these might do the trick for you and they're quite a bit cheaper. These are great if you have a wider toe and a strong arch. 3 stars

"Decent, but depends on your feet"

I have tapered toes, a high arch, and narrow feet; these were my first shoes. They were decent in that the support was good, and the wide platform allowed me to balance for a long time without issue. However, if your feet are like mine, you may feel constricted by the width of the shoe, since it doesn't allow for all that much movement. I suggest it for beginning students with non-tapered, slightly wide-wide feet. It's really best to go to a store and be professionally fitted. All in all, the shoes were worth the $29, but not the right kind for my feet. 3 stars

"They break in the wrong place..."

I have a medium/high arched foot, and these shoes are my first Pointe shoes, but the shank broke in the wrong area, I don't know if you would call it "breaking" but it was hard to stay on en pointe with these shoes on, and the toe box is a little tight, but besides that, they are not bad shoes, I just don't know if I'll get them again.

"I love it"

I personally love these shoes they fit me perfectly. ilove the way they balance. if you have a little bit of a fat toe then this is the shoe for you if you have skinny toes get some prima toe pads 5 stars
