I was Dorothy one year. I purchased the costume. I needed the red glitter shoes. I put glue all over the shoes. Put the glitter on and put them outside to dry. They looked great. I thought I was one to something until I was out with them on. They were rock hard! We were downtown so I couldn't take them off. They were hurting my feet sooo bad. They had no give. My feet were bruised the next day. This was before they started making all of those cute shoes to go with the costumes. Will not do that again.
