How should I care for the Só Dança Charlene CH52?
Wipe the man-made leather upper clean with a soft, damp cloth after use. Condition the genuine leather sole periodically to maintain flexibility and prevent cracking. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials and shape.

I love these character shoes!!

I do musical theatre as well as dance, and these have held up so well. They made it through rehearsals, tech weeks, and performances for 7 shows, and they are only just now falling apart. In addition to wearing them for theatre, they are also great general formal shoes that go with everything, and are comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Especially because the heel is design to support you while dancing, standing and walking in them is no problem. They are more expensive than some other brands, but they have held up very well, and I'm very happy with them.

Size Up!

Loved the look of the shoe for a roaring 20s party! The Cuban heel, the strap and the inside cushioning looked great! But nowhere did I see a suggestion to size up. I should have gone at least half a size if not a whole size bigger. Way too tight And so sadly, I will have to return them. That is the reason for only four stars, the description should have included that caveat.
