Corr's Champion™ split-sole hard shoe

Who has any experience with Corr's heavy shoes? I was amazed to learn very recently that there is such a thing as a split sole hard shoe!
What do you guys think - does a split sole in heavy shoes make dancing easier or is it a possible source of injury?
Looking forward to your opinion/experiences!
Here an IDM review on the Corr's Champion™ split-sole hard shoe:

I have Corr's heavy super-flexi shoes-not split sole but very comfy nonetheless-I bet the split soles are good-but I have only just started dancing so I 'm no expert!:P

Hallo Sandra!

Ich habe die Corrs Champion Split Sole Hardshoes jetzt seit November. Nach Pacellis, Boyne walks und Fays habe ich jetzt die perfekten Schuhe für meine Füße gefunden! Endlich keine Blasen mehr - das Leder ist superweich und die Innenausstattung ist so komfortabel! Toestands gehen sofort- direkt aus dem Karton und lostanzen! Der Sound ist gut, Klicks kein Problem. Da die Sohle sehr weich ist, könnte ich mir vorstellen, dass sie bei harter Beanspruchung schnell zu weich werden könnte, ich bin ja mit ca. 30 kg noch ziemlich leicht ;) Sie hat aber eine sehr gute Verstärkung, Biegen der Sohle ist bei den Corrs unnötig und auch verboten, da sonst diese Stabilisierung bricht! Insgesamt sind sie schmal bis normal weit geschnitten, im Gegensatz zu Fays ist das Zehenfach aber breiter und somit auch bequemer. Ich habe sie direkt bei Corrs in den USA bestellt(bzw. meine Mutter), sehr netter Service und durch den sensationellen Dollarkurs haben wir inklusive Versand nur 106 Euro bezahlt.
Ich liebe meine Corrs!

Thanks for your answers, girls!
I'm REALLY tempted to get me a pair of these... Even more after you guys saying that you love them so much... Normal hard shoes are just a pain to my feet, and my Pacelli's don't make it till long after the moment they start feeling comfortable; the sole comes off where the shoe bends for toe-walks. :-(
So a split-sole might be worth a try!
Thanks!

i only buy corrs and am on my 3rd pair of hard shoes.
(i am also on my 2nd pair of soft shoes if that helps too)
the hard shoes need just a little breaking in and are amazing. pointe is very easy and th esplit sole still has alot of support.
admittedly i loved the champions but i felt like there was less support and i needed inserts but with inserts they fitted PERFECTLY and looked even better than the split sole

i would DEFINITLEY recommend them, 5 out of 5 stars.

I love my corr's Champion Split-sole hard shoes, except for the staps.
My left shoes strap is always breaking off when I do heel clicks.

I just want the straps attached on the inside of the shoe instead of the outside.

Extremely happy with them otherwise.

Blessings from above.
