Romeo ballet shoe possesses a unique “diamond gusset” which provides a seamless sculpted arch which hugs the foot and eliminates bulk. Floor feel is enhanced by the substitution of a soft moisture absorbent lining in place of traditional sock lining. Precision trimmed forefoot pad provides shock absorption and ensures a flat shoe. It is sturdy yet soft and pliable with a secured drawstring and treated suede outsole which resists moisture for long lasting wear.
