Based on info I provided about my current shoe collection and fit preferences, I received excellent guidance from International on size selection of my ballroom practice shoe. My regular size 9-1/2, medium width, was a perfect fit in this brand, with great support yet no cramping of toes despite being a pointier shoe than I’m used to for street wear. International is the brand recommended by our ballroom dance teacher for best fit and quality. She particularly mentioned the importance of secure heels that will not detach, mid-dance, as she has seen occur with cheaper brands. I found the price very reasonable—right in the ballpark with my favorite street wear brands. I consider my International dance shoes an excellent investment. As an aside, my first order from International was lost by DHL en route, due to snow delays in our area that apparently threw the shipping process into disarray. I contacted International for a refund (as I needed shoes promptly for an upcoming event) and was very pleased by the sympathetic and even apologetic response I got, tho the mishap was no fault of their own. My refund came thru without delay. I then bought shoes locally to get me thru the 3-day weekend contra dance event comprising hours and hours of contra & waltz each day. By Monday my feet were murdered—blistered, bandaged up and miserable. I’ve noted that a high proportion of contra dancers wear proper (black) dance shoes. In any case my experiment in intensive dancing in various cute, wardrobe-matched Mary Jane street shoes taught me a lesson, and I promptly reordered a pair of proper dance shoes from International. Happily, this time DHL came thru and even delivered them a couple of days before the promised date. My shopping experience with International has been very pleasant and efficient (excluding DHL’s error). My emailed questions were all answered promptly and courteously. I’m thrilled with my new International dance shoes.
