Capezio Lily Ballet Shoe | Black

This year's batch of arias were very frustrating to work with. I require my students to sew their own ribbons and elastics with me in class. This year the suede lining, which is difficult to sew through anyway, was glued to the satin outside all the way to and in some cases beyond the side seams. It was impossible to push a needle through. I've never understood the reason for the suede lining. I definitely don't understand this abundance of glue. Some of the shoes the inside lining was even discolored from the heavy application of glue. I think you need some quality control OR how about returning production to the USA?!

I always loved my ballet and jazz shoes. So at the age of 70, I still sought these shoes, not for dancing but for comfort and stability. They give me enough stability that allows me to walk on my hardwood floors without fear of falling. Thank you for making such a wonderful product!
