Linodes Unisex Leather Upper Jazz Shoe Slip-on for Women and Men's Dance Shoes

I am a beginner and I bought these for my new salsa dance class. Realized I needed them because tennis shoes just don’t work! I bought these because they were inexpensive and had leather uppers and they were the best price I could find. I didn’t want to spend a lot just in case I didn’t continue with the classes. Needless to say, I love these shoes! They are so comfortable and they have just enough slide on the bottom that I can make really nice turns. I did measure my foot to the quarter inch and that’s how I bought my shoes and they fit perfectly.

I’ve tried many jazz shoes over the years, but the Linodes Unisex Leather Upper Jazz Shoes truly stand out. From the moment I slipped them on, I could feel the difference in quality and comfort. The high-quality leather uppers not only look sleek but also feel soft and durable — they mold beautifully to the foot with each wear. One of the standout features is the arch insert design, which gives excellent support, especially during long rehearsals or performances. As someone who needs good arch support, I appreciate this thoughtful addition. The pull-on design is a game-changer — easy to get on and off without the hassle of laces or zippers, which is especially helpful during quick costume changes. They’re also super comfortable right out of the box. No break-in time was needed for me. The fit is true to size, and they accommodate both narrow and wider feet really well — a huge plus for our studio where dancers of all foot shapes share the same style. Overall, these jazz shoes are a perfect blend of style, function, and comfort. I highly recommend them for dancers of all levels looking for a reliable and well-fitting shoe that will support their every move!

These jazz shoes fit my daughter perfectly and she said they were very comfortable right out of the box. The leather is soft yet durable, and the split sole gives excellent flexibility for dancing. A reliable, well-made shoe at a great price!

Very light and the size fit perfectly! I was worried they’d be too tight or small. They weren’t hard to break in, and as someone who is doing musicals and other performances that require more movement, these worked wonderfully! They weren’t stiff, allowed me to move freely and they were flexible. You just slip them on and you’re done! Easy to use, highly recommend!

These leather jazz shoes are fantastic! They fit true to size, are super comfortable, and allow for easy movement — perfect for my daughters dance classes. The slip-on design makes them quick to put on and take off, and the leather feels soft yet durable. The shoes have great grip without being stiff, so she feels secure and flexible while dancing. Stylish, practical, and high-quality — I’m very happy with this purchase and so is my daughter!

I bought these jazz shoes for dance classes, and they’ve been excellent so far. They slip on easily, fit snugly, and provide just the right amount of support and flexibility for movement. Pros: Soft leather feels comfortable and molds to the foot with wear. Split sole design allows for great flexibility while dancing. Easy slip-on style with elastic sides—no hassle with laces. Lightweight yet supportive—perfect for practice or performances. Affordable compared to studio prices for dance shoes. Cons: Sizing runs a bit small—going up a half to full size is recommended. Not much cushioning, so they’re best for studio floors rather than long wear. Overall, these are reliable and comfortable jazz shoes at a good price. They’ve made my practices easier, and I’d definitely recommend them to dancers of any level.

Recently, I tried out a pair of unisex leather upper jazz shoes, marketed for both men and women. Initially, I was drawn to their sleek design and the promise of a durable leather construction. On first wear, the leather upper was notably stiff but gave the impression that it would mold well to my feet with some breaking in. The fit was snug and true to size, which is crucial for precise, intricate dance movements. However, as these shoes are labeled unisex, I noticed the cut and shape seemed to favor a wider foot, typical for male sizes, which might not suit every woman’s foot shape. During dance rehearsals, they offered decent flexibility and allowed for smooth turns and slides, thanks to a well-crafted suede sole. The lace-up closure provided secure fastening, and I felt grounded in them during performances. Aesthetically, they looked great paired with different dance outfits and maintained a professional look. But durability might be a concern as the stitching on the sides began showing signs of strain after several intense sessions. These shoes also lacked sufficient arch support, which could be a downside for dancers needing more foot support. Overall, these unisex jazz shoes could be a good choice for dancers who prioritize style and initial comfort. However, they might not meet the expectations of female dancers seeking precision fit or long-term durability in their footwear. I’d give these jazz shoes a 3.5 out of 5 stars, recommending potential buyers to consider them for short-term use or possibly as a secondary pair for practice sessions.

The fit is good and quality of the shoe is acceptable. They slip on easily and have just the right amount of traction for dance and stage movements. Black color is solid.

They are great!

Good one

Loved the shoes! I'm not a dancer but I'm wearing them as flats. The seller was super diligent in connecting with me to make sure I understand how to measure. I just based it on the measurement when I put a tape measure to my foot. Since I'm wearing this as an "everyday shoe" I've put in some insoles which have made them a bit tighter but the leather will eventually adjust. Happy with my purchase!
