Thank goodness I found someplace that I can get custom heels as well (I like the thinner heels, not flared and not contoured, ugh). Thank goodness for aidadance.ru

I kinda like the whole 2nd shoe.  The vamp is strappy and fun!

And EEEEEEEEEEEEEE, my shoes are finally here!  After a scuffle with FedEx (they're idiots)...grumblegrumblegrumble.  Anyway, details: I wear a size 8US street shoe, and typically a 7.5US in Latin shoes (8US in court shoes).  My feet are normal width.  I ordered a pair of Ray Rose Sunrise (see earlier in this thread for a photo), and needed them in a 4.5UK.  They fit well, for all I've heard about Ray Roses being narrow.  I do not have narrow feet, and these fit me fine, so I'd say that this model is more of an average width--Blizzards and the Queen B are supposed to be narrow, while Earthquakes are more average like these.

And they're so pretty!  Straps have been cut to length, clear nail polish has been applied as a fraycheck, and suede heel tips have been glued on and are setting as I type!  One note: the heel tips on these will need to be covered by something--the nail shows through on the bottom, and this could scratch the floor once the tips start to wear.  And no studio owner wants their floor scratched, not to mention that they won't be too comfortable to dance on!  So just cover the tips as soon as you get them home.

If you are buying in North America, and you want a bit of advice about who not to buy from, send me a PM.  One of our members just got burned.

I know who Cornutt and never had a problem with them. Actually ordered from them 3 times. AND was very happy with the service and the product. LOL

But will be more cautious in the future.

Healthy suggestion ... whenever placing an order check up on the company PRIOR to placing the order. not after. Might save some headaches as a member here just found out.

BTW ... C - I hear you know the owner or whom ever ... hope it gets worked out!
