This is my 2nd pair of the Blaq Kicks and I’ll keep buying them! I love the 8inch height the best for a perfect utilitarian boot for choreo and floorwork. So comfortable, great support, and excellent for clacks. My favorite style of Hellas! I wear US 10 in street shoes and I get Hellas in US 11 for my best fit (I like socks).

Love them 😍😍

Great style, amazing quality. Perfect look with the shoe protector. Ankle support ++

I normally wear 9/9.5 and bought size 10

I'm in love with these. I love the different fabrics on the paneling. They're so comfy. Love that they're black all the way through and will never look scuffed! Durable, functional, and sexy!

I loved them, but they are a little tight after a couple of hours. I don't know if they will adjust to the size of my foot over time.

I picked these up because of the laces design. I really wished more shoes came in this style because they're so comfortable & easy to dance in because of the thoughtful padding in the shoe itself. Grab a pair of these, you won't regret it. Not recommended for climbing unless you have upper body strength.

Sizing:
My feet measure 26.5cm (with a high arch) and I purchased a size 10US, it is an exact fit with slight extra room in the toe area. It fits a slight more snug than my Angel patent boots; that should change with time and use.

Stability: I have great balance in these, and the bend ability in the ankle area is as it should be for suede boots, perfect for when I do Russian exotic tricks and flow.

These shoes are great, overall they are very nice and I love the length. The only issue, and it’s a big deal, is that they are too big, I measured my foot and followed the size chart and ordered an 8 but I’ll need to wear double socks so my foot doesn’t slide around inside. I should have sized down.

I LOVE these boots. I wanted a pair of black boots that I can wear to most classes. I put them on and didn't even feel like I had to break them in, they fit really well. If you are new to climbing/pole though I would try maybe for a boot with a more patent material as these don't aid with climb.

These are the best of the best. Soft fabric on the boot itself makes them comfortable and flexible. Faux suede fabric isn't sticky but that makes it ideal for russian exotic style or floorwork. Great for wide feet as other Hella styles tend to run a bit narrow. Overall a very well designed boot and a great starter pair or a trusty ride or die.

These immediately became my favorite heels to dance in as soon as they arrived. They fit like I had owned them for years and I was so happy and comfortable doing tricks and generally dancing in them on the first day I put them on. I also love that the laces go through metal loops instead of the hooks that other boots have. Functionally, this is a dream and takes away so much frustration of having to adjust the laces every time you put them on. You lace them to your needs once, tie the knot and then you can wear them without ever having to re-lace them ever. I would strongly recommend these to every dancer.

These boots are amazing! It is my second pair because I love it so much! Sleek design and very comfortable, will order a third once these wear out after a year or so

Super comfortable and goes with everything. I highly recommend this style as your main dancing shoe.
