SANSHA Unisex-Adult Sneaker
Dance your heart out in Sansha's Tutto Nero. The dance sneaker features a lace-up front and padded linings for a comfortable fit, and a split rubber sole for maximum flexibility. In 1982, Franck Raoul-Duval, a 25-year-old Frenchman with a passion for dance and Russian history, created a new type of ballet shoe. After numerous trials and adjustments, he came up with an innovation that changed the lives of dancers everywhere. The split-sole ballet slipper, with its glove-like fit, was born. Sansha now manufactures an extensive range of dance shoes for everything from ballet to jazz, hip-hop to flamenco, and ballroom to tap. Sansha collaborates with dance professionals, teachers and store owners to remain a prominent brand in the dance capitals of the world.

A little on the small side, but by using thinner socks, and seriously loosening the laces before putting them on, it’s still good. As to the dancing, haven’t done that yet, but they move well on the floor.
I love Zumba and one evening I wound up sustaining a knee injury due to the athletic shoes I was wearing. Through some research I came across these shoes and I ordered a pair and so glad I did as I am able to twist without sustaining injury as the shoe will pivot vs. the athletic shoe which does not.
Let me start out by saying that I have REALLY flat feet. Like, my arches touch flat on the floor when I stand barefoot. Despite that, these shoes gave me comfort and support, even after 6 hours of continuous wear! I've been dancing for 17 years, and have gone through pair after pair of shoes, but thought I would end up having to settle. I've never purchased any dancewear from the Sansha brand before, but a friend had recommended that I try these. I have NEVER found dance shoes as comfy as these are! They look great, and creat the illusion of a strong and beautiful arch in my foot, and they also fit absolutely perfectly- though Sansha sizes run differently than street shoe sizes. I wear a 9 or 9.5 in women's American sizes, and I ordered a 12 in these. I probably could've gotten away with an 11.5, but because of the fact that you can tighten the laces to provide additional support in various areas of your arch, It's no issue. I can point my toes fully while wearing these, and they truly feel like an extension of my foot rather than a clunky dance shoe. I doubt I'll ever buy another type of dance shoe after wearing these. Sansha Tutto Nero's have a customer for life. They're so perfect! I'm beyond happy with them.PROS:-arch support-customizable fit (from laces)-true to photograph-lightweight and comfyCONS:-odd sizing for the entire brand (I really had to dig to think of something)I would absolutely recommend these to anybody who is in the market for new dance shoes, and would just suggest you look carefully at Sansha's sizing chart before purchasing.
When I received the shoes, I first noticed one of the shoelaces was broken, then, when I tried them on, they were too small.
I have a size 13 foot without a lot of meat on it so they are okay for me
I would have really liked these dancing shoes, except that having a size 9.5 I ordered size 12 (as advised by the sizing conversion table) and when the shoes arrived, they were horribly tight. Hence one star off.When I tried to send them back for a replacement, they told me that since I purchased them on Amazon, they only do a refund and if I want a larger size pair I need to order anew (and pay the delivery charge once again). Hence another star off.Having said that, the material from which these shoes are made is great and they look really cool. Doing moonwalk in them is a breathe as they slide well even on wood, though my feet did hurt just after 10 minutes of dancing in these extremely tight shoes.Make sure to order the right size and you should be fine.
I have a number of pairs of dance shoes in a variety of brands. This Sansha Tutto Nero dance sneaker is definitely one of the best. Good fit, with sufficient room in the toe box. Also like the support of this shoe as opposed to lower profile dance sneakers. (Although I prefer the lower profile look, my body appreciates the heel height, comfort and support of the Sansha Tutto Nero!) Point of reference for sizing: my street shoes are 7.5 and my athletic shoes are generally 8 or 8.5 depending on brand. I ordered this shoe in a size 10, which translates to 8.5. Good fit.
This is the second pair of Sanshas I have ordered, but both have been too big. I first ordered the Hi Step in an 8 because every one said to go up. I usually wear a 6.5-7 street shoe and the 8 fit about like an 8 street shoe. The 7 in the Tutto Nero also fit about like a 7 in a street shoe. If they had a 6.5, it would probably fit perfectly, but I guess I will have to look for something else. I sent these back, although if they had fit I would have kept them. They looked like a nice shoe and had good support in the arch while allowing for a great point. If they had fit, I would have rated it higher.
