The Valerian is one of Very Fine’s Ultra Flex shoes, meaning it has increased flexibility to allow for easier toe pointing and usage of the ball of the foot. Additionally, it comes with internal cushioning for a premium comfort feel, and is constructed with blister prevention in mind. Just like all Very Fine Dance Shoes, the Valerian is hand made and uses nickel-free nickel-free hypoallergenic eylets.

This is my second pair of these Latin shoes. My original pair lasted very well and I recently purchases these because my old pair finally bit the dust. Only main issue I had was finding the right size. I would probably say you want to run at least a half size smaller for these shoes, just based on how I had to try two times before I found the correct size. Overall the quality seems adequate considering the price point which is around 100$. They feel decent when wearing them and the heel feels stable while walking and dancing. The laces are strong and I have not had any issue thus far. I would recommend this if you are looking for an affordable starting Latin shoe.

Sturdy and reasonably priced. When I put an extra layer of suede on the bottom some of the suede sticked to the leather on the heel and pulled off the leather surface. I'm going to apply polish to fix but seems a bit cheap in that way.

Very comfortable and form fitting. The Cuban heel is very sturdy and the suede sole and heel cap are thick and well attached. This is the first dance shoe that I’ve worn that didn’t run very small. They are true to size and very comfortable.

It is honestly the best Latin dance shoes I’ve gotten in a while. A little high in price but definitely worth it.

Lightweight, comfortable, feels very good dancing shoe. Toe is soft, I'm hoping it won't wreck if stepped on. I'll be out on the dance floor Friday night for 2 hours, Saturday night for 3 hours and Sunday for another 2 hours, well see.

I actually use these for playing the pedalboard on my theatre organ. My legs are just a wee bit too short. The heels give me enough length so that I can hit the right notes.

I had high hopes for these shoes but they are breaking up before my eyes. I've worn them a total of 3-4 times and as shown in the photos both shoes are 'flaking' for lack of a better term. Falling apart. Its a shame, they are comfy shoes but would appear not to be of great quality. I also have the Dante line from this manufacture and they are holding up well.
