The Jazzsoft is a classic. It features a split sole design to complement the contours of the foot. This lace up jazz shoe gives the performer with a higher instep or extra wide feet more control over the width of the shoe. It is made of a soft leather that molds to the foot beautifully. Fitting information: Still growing kids should start up 1 size. Others should start with street shoe size to .5 size up. If your student is in sizes 2 - 4, start up 2 sizes.
