Shiny black formal shoes! ♡ They have rubber soles for durability! ♡ They have laces, so they can be adjusted for those with high insteps or narrow feet! ♡♡ They are lightweight at 172g per shoe! ♡ They are sturdy, but not stiff, and my child never complained of pain or wanted to take them off while wearing them. ♡ (Age at the time of use: 5 years and 6 months) Used only once indoors for a dance recital! ♡
