I bought these shoes for my son who is an entertainer and he loves them. He's not a jazz dancer but the lead singer for a music group and does a lot of crazy, James brown type dancing. (Tyrone's Jacket is the group, you can find them on YouTube.) Anyway, because it's not straight up jazz dancing with costume per se', I looked for shoes that look like streetwear. BAM!
These shows could not be more of a hit with him. He says they are comfortable, let him move like he's wearing socks with traction. They're so light weight, I can't imagine they will last too long but they're not so expensive that they can't be replaced every few months. I'm sure dancers will give a better technical and informative review for other dancers but if you're not a professional jazz dancer, maybe my comments will help. I highly recommend.

Nice looking shoes but way to big for my daughter's feet. Her other dance shoes are size 8 but these didn't fit

Don't know about longevity yet, but love that it fits exactly as I needed it to. Daughter had size 4 jazz shoes from a while ago (brand unknown) that she burned a hole through with her big toes, so I figured it was time to get a new shoes. I know these kinds of jazz shoes do stretch as the feet grow, but I followed the sizing and actual shoe was just a tiny bit bigger than the measurement on the chart, so not a huge deal. I actually went by size number when I ordered. Daughter wears street shoes size 5/5.5, and I ordered 6. It's a tiny bit bigger than she needs it, but not super loose. Danceable and can grow into. Add a piece of thick moleskin behind the heel, and it's perfectly snug. I had bought another brand "Tent Adult" jazz shoe brand in size 6, and although the length was the same, the girth of the shoe (around the middle of the foot) of that other brand was too big, making it feel loose. This brand that we purchased here was perfect. Remember that these are adult sizes, so if you are going by the size number of a kid's feet, it will be different, especially starting around big kid size 4 or size 5...adult size 4 or size 5 is NOT the same as big kid size 4 or 5. Important to get remeasured for Adult size shoes, if you are getting these.

Seem like nice shoes but after two trys we gave up. Granddaughter wears a 9. They were to big.sent back tried again with 8. Still to big.sent back again.

Ordering another pair for Drill team season very durable
