Shoes are very nice and comfortable, but the grooves are so badly made that I gave them to the cobbler. Now perfect!

boots fit well as I checked size chart. they are front lace up, so no zipper. purchased for a dance performance of Chim Chim Cheree and are perfect style. I do need to convert from street boots with rubber ridged bottoms small anti skid ridges, to dance boots for hard wood floors as I will like to glide thru my viennese waltz.
