A soft leather front combines with a stretchy back and split suede sole, allowing the shoe to follow growing feet beautifully through pointing, turning and travelling movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith very little structure around the heel and an incredibly slim profile, JZ82 is a lovely choice for young dancers who enjoy feeling close to the floor and want plenty of freedom through the foot.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade for Growing Jazz Dancers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe JZ82 is one of the softest and least structured jazz shoes in our collection. The \u003cstrong\u003eleather forefoot provides gentle coverage around the toes\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the flexible stretch back wraps closely around the heel and arch without the firm heel cup found in a traditional jazz shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath, the \u003cstrong\u003esplit suede sole\u003c\/strong\u003e allows the middle of the foot to move freely and creates a smoother feeling against the dance floor. Combined with its barely-there 0.3\" heel, JZ82 feels particularly light and natural – a quality young dancers coming from ballet may find especially familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in \u003cstrong\u003eBlack and Caramel\u003c\/strong\u003e.
