These have about half their life left. I wore them to salsa class a dozen times then switched to Latin heels. The last few photos show the wear and tear on the toe crease on both shoes. this is normal and would happen to this kind of shoe when you dance or spin on the ball of your feet. they still have lots of life in them - so if you want a deal ... send a like and I'll send you the discount. thanks for stopping by :-)
