These Panther Print Practice shoes, made by ADS Japan, bring some fun and fierceness to your dancing! They are very comfortable and offer extra cushion to the back of the heel, eliminating rubbing. The soft leather has a little shimmer to it, making them fancier than just a regular panther print. They are split sole with a 1.5" heel. The gold color suede on the bottom matches the print of the shoes . They are flexible, but at no expense to structure and support.
