Detailed Review
When it comes to performing dances such as quickstep, Viennese waltz, salsa, and samba, the HIPPOSEUS Men's Ballroom Dance Shoes stand out for their combination of comfort and functionality. The lightweight nature of the shoes allows for easy movement, while the durable suede sole provides great traction on various dance floors.
Moreover, the shoes are designed with a closed toe, offering extra support, which is particularly beneficial during rigorous routines. The lace-up closure style not only adds to the aesthetic but also ensures a snug fit, preventing any slips or discomfort while dancing.
While some users have reported an initial pungent smell due to the new leather, this is a common occurrence with many leather products and tends to fade after a few days of airing out. If you take good care of them, these shoes can last you through numerous dance events.

Did not look cheap at all
The dance shoe was so beautiful. And the best part is, this is the very good price. At other the place, I have to pay 2 *of the price!
I have never had a shoe fit so well! It stretches in every direction. I can dance all night long and not have sore feet. I shall order more.
Great price for light-use dance shoes that look great. I wear a size 10, and these fit true to size. At first the toes felt a little tight, but after easily breaking them in a little, the fit was tight but just right. The felt on the bottom was cut and glued a little slopily, and there was a large scuff on the toe of one shoe's patent pleather. However, much to my surprise, I was able to completely remove the scuff and scratches with some acetone and a microfiber cloth. They comewith laces but unlaced, although that's fairly standared. Overall, this is a good value product for light use.
I didn’t like the shape that much. Its so rounded. And I can expect with the traveling it can damage the shape, broking it, with depths… But I feel it still works just fine.
You get what you pay for. If you need a pair of black shoes, these work but I wouldn't wear these regularly. You could trip when the shoes come in contact with each other for turns due to their poor quality material which is quite dangerous. Also, you will not be able to stand on their heels... something to consider.
Good cheap dance shoes. Work well for salsa and bachata.
