Leslie, these are what I wear:

I like them better than ballet flats, because the sole is flat and thin, so I can still feel the floor, and spread my toes.
The downside is that because the sole is so thin, I wear them out pretty quickly.

Leslie these look like the ones I just bought, except mine are black too. So uncomfortable, and for me very slippery. The other night, I put those on and we were doing spins, and I felt like it was my first day spinning. I couldn't control myself at all! Ridiculous!

The Dance Paws don't budge. Like at all. Well, on me, at least, and I have a thin foot.

They're actually kinda snug, and made w/powermesh, with a pretty snug elastic band that sits about mid arch, so they're pretty secure...

Being that I am a tiny bit older and have been standing on cement for lots of years,so my feet have "issues" Several of us in my Troupe do actually, I have a pair of black lace up Aravon shoes that are just not very pretty but have memory foam lining and great arch support with a smooth yet stable sole that works great for most surfaces. My toTroupe mates have found similar styles from other manufacturers, we do often dance on cement for performances and nothing will eat your shoes faster than that.

Indoors practice many of us use Capezio jazz shoes, especially in areas that only allow dance shoes or bare feet, the articulated soles allow some surprising support and facilitate easy spinning too. The leather is very soft and should be purchased slightly tight as they will stretch and conform to your foot.

Happy dancing!!

I have very wide feet and have never had a problem with them rolling off.

I use the Foot Undeez, and yes, they're good and cheap, but they only last me about a month before I dance the leather pad right off. Still, I prefer them for "almost barefoot" spinning control and feeling the floor. For difficult surfaces, I use either a china flat like this: www.amazon.com/Black-Cott.../B000A2T3EM and I put a Dr. Scholl's insert into them. For parades or dancing on asphalt, I use the Capezio Dance Sneaker - a bit of an adjustment for spins, but it saves my feet, which is the most important thing.

I have a wide foot, with bunion (so strangely shaped), and have both Dance Paws and Foot Undeez. I like them and honestly recommend them both for different reasons.

Dance Paws stay put no matter what. They feel like an extension of my foot really. And they blend in more, looking less like I have anything on my foot at all. But it is a pain in the ass to get my toes through the little toe holes. Yes, you can cut them wider and I have, but you don't want to cut them too large or it will potentially shift with more give in there, and you could compromise the strength of the fabric between each toe the smaller you cut that. The individual toe-holes can be worth it, though, as they are just a function of what makes them work so great.

Foot Undeez have a tiny bit of shift for me, but it is so much easier to have just one thong between the big toe and second toe. This thing makes it look a little more obvious when I wear them, but then again, some students love that aspect and get zebra and cheetah prints to show them off. :)

So as a wide foot person, Leana, I recommend either, depending on your priorities.

Wendy--- that's smart! And indeed less-ghetto-fabulous than my taped tootsies! :)
