Excellent, if a bit big. I measured my feet as instructed and the result implied I was a size 42 which isn’t correct. I’m always a 6.5/7 or 41, but bought the recommended size according to the instructions.
The shoes are a bit loose, even with socks, I wouldn’t dare try with tights as it would be too slippery by far, so I will see if I can buy something to stick to the heel to help them stay on (it’s actually a little dangerous as a misstep could cause a twisted ankle).
But aside from that I absolutely adore them. I don’t think I could go back to a tabi-less life!
The photos were taken on the first day (indoor, artificial lighting - sorry!) but they look even better since, it’s been almost two weeks of almost daily wear and they look a bit more worn-in and less “perfect”.
The soles are sooo high quality, too. I went for the rubber soles (non-leather) and they feel very built-to-last. I forgot shoes can feel so well constructed after experiencing at least a decade of gradually worsening garment quality.
Sono bellissime e comodissime, si adattano perfettamente al piede. Ho apprezzato molto anche i calzini in regalo. La taglia è giusta, quella che abitualmente porto. Super consigliati farò altri acquisti con loro😊
Exactly what I wanted! Super soft, comfortable and they fit like a glove! I will definitely be buying again, very happy with my purchase.

I absolutely love my horse leather tabi ballet shoes from Woodchucksato. They are incredibly comfortable—the leather is soft, supple, and feels amazing right out of the box.
I actually ordered these alongside another pair from woodchuk (with a more structured fit) and a couple of pairs from another brand. While I initially preferred the sleeker look of the other brand, the toe shape just didn’t work for me. The toe area felt too long and ended up digging uncomfortably between my big toe and the rest of my toes. In comparison, the toe length and shape on the Woodchucksato pair are perfect for my feet. Combined with the softness of the leather, they’re easily the most comfortable of the bunch.
I really don’t have any complaints about the product itself. The only thing that caught me off guard—despite it being clearly shown in the photos and description—was that the soles are leather rather than rubber. If I had paid closer attention, I might have opted for a rubber sole for more versatility in different conditions.
That said, after intentionally scuffing the bottoms a bit to reduce the initial slipperiness, they’ve been great to walk in anywhere. One small nitpick is that once scuffed, the black leather soles start to show white marks, so they don’t stay uniformly black—but this is purely cosmetic and doesn’t affect performance.
Overall, I’m really, really happy with these shoes. Just be sure to pay attention to the sole options when ordering—if you want more grip or durability, you may prefer rubber. Otherwise, these are fantastic.
