Very dissatisfied with this purchase. They are not a quality shoe they are very cheaply made. The clasp to buck the shoe is really really cheap and takes forever to buckle. Also the liner in the shoe has already worn out after wearing six times. I am going to have to take them to a shoemaker to replace cheap buckle and put in a new liner. Also, the sole of the shoe is very thin.

Hi Diane,
We saw your comment on our website regarding your recent order. We are very sorry to hear that you are not happy with the purchase. I looked up your records and saw that you had purchased a pair of shoes from us by Go Go Dance Shoes 11 years ago. If you would allow me, may I offer some comments regarding the International brand?
The Go Go Dance Shoes you owned from a decade ago was made with stiffer material. It took longer to stretch them and for them to mold to the shape of your feet. The International Dance Shoes brand is mostly worn by competitors. They normally would look for dance shoes that are very soft to begin with. The reason is for them to be able to use their feet the way they wanted to, and the softness of the shoes will allow them to do that easily from the start. But because the shoes were made with thinner and softer material to accommodate them to be “moldable” immediately, they are not as sturdy as other brands who are targeted to social dancers like the Go Go Dance Shoes brand. You will see wear and tear a lot faster than a sturdier built shoe. The top material is satin which is also a more delicate material and does not withhold wear and tear as well as leather.
As for the buckle, I am very sorry you are having issues with it. We don’t have any complaints with their bukles at all for the last 20 years of our carrying this brand. I myself wear the same style but with a higher heel and I have no problem with the buckles. I am not sure why the ones on your shoes are of poor quality. If you could please take some pictures of the buckles for us to review so we can have a better understanding of what the problem is, perhaps we could offer you more assistant on this matter.
Thank you for your time and we look forward to hearing from you!

Love these shoes! I think the quality is on par with other ballroom competition shoes. They did not take long to break in and I feel like balance is easier in them. I was looking for standard heels with a lower heel and these are perfect.
