Bailaz - Stitch

Dance shoes

Hi, they are excellent quality and the size was correct. However, the tongue of shoes have caused rubbing of top of feet. I have had to put adhesive protectors on inner side of shoe tongues. I think they will soften in time since they are leather. Still love them

Shoes good for line dancing

They are comfortable even the first time I wear them. The outsoles are good for sliding and turning. I like the style and the fact that they’re genuine leather shoes.

Giving my new dance shoes a a whirl

My new "Stitch sneakers" look awesome with the black leather and white stitching and sole. I also ordered the Orthotic insole with my shoes. I do think for the price that these orthotic insoles should be included in the shoes already and not have to be bought in addition to the shoes. Fitting the orthotic in the shoes was difficult as one side of the shoe tongue is stitched in place and I had to un-lace the shoes to be able to open them wide enough to push the insert inside each shoe. So this took time as I then had to re-lace both the shoes! There are no eyelets so sliding the lace through each hole was slow and tedious. Once I had the orthotic inserts in the shoes I noticed that these were now blocking the air vents at the inner arch area of the shoes! This design could be improved by Bailaz. So I was ready to put my new shoes on. I found the shoe laces were only just long enough and I think Bailaz could put longer and better quality shoe laces in the shoes. The orthotic insert felt very comfortable and I was happy that I had purchased this as without the insert the shoes did not feel supportive for me at all in the arch, ball of foot, or heel area. The inside corner of the shoes tongue pressed in painfully just above my ankle bone on both shoes. I wore the shoes inside the house daily for a week to soften the leather and this did not improve yet. So with bandaides on I wore them to my dancing. On the wooden floor they are exceptionally good at easy turns and spins and my feet felt well supported by the Orthotic insert. With a few minor changes by Bailaz to these dance sneakers that I have mentioned I would give them a 5 star but they are not quite there yet.
